This is the lineup I want to see tomorrow

Tzolakis

Rota Mavropanos Koulierakis Giannoulis

Zafeiris Mouzakitis

Tzolis Konstantelias Karetsas

Pavlidis

If Greece play like they did in the 2nd half last game they will win 2-0

I like that team, but I think 2 - 1 if we win.  

I have my doubts though.  Scotland looked composed and have been turning in good results of late it will be difficult and we can't have an absent brain referee again with decisions like that.  Hard to take the win seriously when they didn't even score at home one goal.  

Of equal concern is that Portugal lost.  If Denmark win we will have Portugal in the qualifying group is this correct?

Yes that is correct. Don't worry I believe Portugal and Greece both go through tomorrow. Portugal is playing at home.

Almost @Bootman:

Actual lineup (has one other player compared to yours):

Tzolakis

Vagiannidis Mavropanos Koulierakis Giannoulis

Zafeiris Mouzakitis

Tzolis Konstantelias Karetsas

Pavlidis

Some very un-Greek trivia:

Average age of the starting XI is only 22,7 years. Maybe youngest ever? 

Oldest player is Giannoulis (29), so we might as well be called the U-30.

McTominay, off the side of the net, they say Tzolakis got a piece, corner

Scotland has had more possession but really haven't had too many chances.  They are so much more physical than us. Greece - the Future is here.  The kids are legit, they are fast and skilled. Karetsas is going to be a star. Delias links up very well with him. Every time we break, anything can happen.  Give Jovanovic credit, he is not afraid to play the youth and bench players he doesn't believe are performing. 

2nd half - Scotland will need to play more open and this will hopefully suit are counters..

HUGE respect to Jovanovic for not being afraid to play these kids in such a meaningful game. This clearly shows which direction this team is finally going in regard to the youth starting to take over the NT..
