2026 WCQ: Greece - Scotland (15 November 2025 21:45 EET, Stadio Giorgos Karaiskakis, Piraeus)

[PaokCT]

Tzolis GOALARA 3-0

[PaokCT]

3-1. VAR check for foul. 

[PaokCT]

Goal stands. 3-1. Scotland has to open up. Denmark currently tied. 
 

Our defense has looked very shaky at moments. But with Scotland needing a point, they’re gonna send numbers up. 

[PaokCT]

3-2. Another hole by the D. 
 

Belarus leads Denmark 2-1. 

[PaokCT]

OMG Scotland another one on one and save by Vlaho. Wtf is our defense doing

[Soprano76]

The defense is absolutely horrible this whole campaign. Given the talent at the back it’s inexcusable.

[PaokCT]

Masouras coming in for Karetsas? UMMMMM? 

[ChrisT]

Are we on 6 points ATM and Scotland on 9?

 

If we were win tonight, are we not on 9 points? Then we still have one game to play?

[PaokCT]

Vlaho another huge save! 
 

No Scotland has 10

[ChrisT]

Even still we can finish the campaign with 12 points which would put us above Scotland no?

[PaokCT]

We have 3 points. 

[ChrisT]

Oh balls.

 

These stupid tables that list the points before they've been accrued.

 

[PaokCT]

Red Card Bakasetas. Terrible decision to keep him in by Jovanovic. Not his best coached game

[PaokCT]

Hatzidiakos & Kostoulas coming on. 3 minutes till extra time

[PaokCT]

Scotland misses another chance as they miss the sitter. Vlaho got the vital touch

[PaokCT]

3-2 FT. Need to figure out the defensive line for Euro Qualification

[Soprano76]

The defense is so so bad lol. 

[PAOKARA]

A win, but that performance stunk 

[Greekoz]

That feels like a loss, we are nowhere near the standard required to play at major championships, that capitulation was inexcusable.

[ChrisT]

Belarus are drawing Denmark, wtf?

[PaokCT]

And to make matters worse, we are gonna be on 9 points to end the campaign and 2nd place will be on 10. If we had gotten a result vs Denmark or the first Scotland game we woulda been in playoff

[ChrisT]

It's weird how our strongest trait (defense) is now our worst.

 

 

[ChrisT]

Denmark 2 Belarus 2 FT

[PaokCT]

I genuinely believe this was a “goodbye testimonial” to Bakasetas, Kourbelis, Masouras. Hence why Jovanovic started the 2 and brought in the other. It is clear we will be a top team attacking wise during the Euro Qualifiers, but as everyone is mentioning we struggle defensively. Vlahodimos saved 3 point blank chances. The fact the u21 team looks like one of the best in Europe right now is good so I assume we have a very good group coming up

[Ellada2004]

Greece got the win. Electric attacking play that we have not ever seen before from the Ethniki. Karetsas will be one of the worlds great footballers for years to come. Our defending is a total disgrace I cant recall us giving up these many goals in a campaign. Greece we F***ed ourselves with stupid personal and tactical decisions over this campaign. First place could have been ours. Denmark was a dream draw from pot 1 as I have said here many times and we saw that today as they tied Belarus at home. We pissed away those two matches with the Danes along with the match at Scotland where Greece should have got a draw if not for our defensive lapses. Totally sucks that we failed to make a third World Cup in a row.
