Nations League: Ireland-Greece(10 September 2024, Aviva Stadium, Dublin)

[Omonoia9]

Coming off a great home win against Finland, now Greece hit the road for the first time against Ireland. The ethniki were able to beat Ireland both times during the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers.

Who's Zeus the kit guy?

Ellas is a cut above Ireland, anything less than 3 points will be disappointing 

[PaokCT]

Ireland will battle and make it difficult, especially at home. But if we play to our capability, we are definitely the better team. We need to win to continue our push on possibly dethroning England from the top. Also, a win here pretty much solidifies 2nd place is ours unless we piss it away. That would be a huge help in possibly entering the WCQ playoffs.

[HellasLEAF]

If we are a serious team we have to go in to Ireland and get the win.  Absolute worst case scenario is a draw.

[PaokCT]

I'd argue a loss is more of a worst case scenario, but what do I know

[Ellada2004]

Hellas all the way today!!

[Brklyngrk]

Line ups are in - same as last time except for Tzolis for Pelkas (which most of us wanted) and Siopis for Mantalos (which most of us would agree).  Chatzigiovanis is starting again and so is Bouchalakis. Only change I would make is put in delias and Zafeiris in. 

[Ellada2004]

I am glad to see Tzolis in the starting lineup. He deserves it! No Mantalos is also a positive move opting for Siopis.

very little

If anyone wants a link in the US, ViX is carrying it, it's in Spanish but the feed is good...

[J1078]

Greece are so lucky right now. If they don’t make a change ASAP they are going to concede and this time it will count…They look terrible..

[Ellada2004]

Listless performance. Maybe it’s that crappy cold Ireland weather.

[Ellada2004]

Konstantelias & Zaferis need to be subbed in.

[Omonoia9]

Ireland 0-0 Greece   HT

Shipping up to Boston to begin the second half. Irish culture and Irish-American culture becoming one
