yeah I still can't believe that is the opening game.......I really hope we have a good showing .....honestly I don't see how we can beat or tie Portugal....


........but then the US did it ......so if we pay off the refs we might have a chance too

Your best squad has shown against Holland (1st half) that it can compete with Europe's best teams.

It's a tough group, but if Greece gets a run they will be very dangerous.

I can see Greece beating Portugal in the opening match. There will be a lot of pressure for Portugal to do well and win that match. As well, when you look at all the friendlies that have been played to this point, Greece has been more successful, even tying Portugal when they played them.

One thing is for sure, it will be a great match.

 

[Pontiakos]

either it will be a great match or Greece will fall apart.......sad thing is every Greek has this bad feeling everytime they play...there is always the possibility....lurking.....


....has been lurking ever since the team took to the pitch in the early 1920s

 

[Pontiakos]

one thing seems inevitable.......................



spain will have its revenge

I'm also feeling a bit terrified of Raul's promise of revenge. But if we beat Portugal in the first match the team will have the confidence they need to stand up to the Spanish.

But we need to beat Portugal...

 

[VanTheMin]

greece looked solid at the endings of the qualifiers.
good luck anyways.

if they lose they need to do themselves justice and lose having left everything on the pitch...

To the person who brought up Greece tying us. If you had watched the game, you'd know Greece was very lucky to go out with anything near a tie. Especially when you have one of your defenders try and be a goalkeeper. That was one of the most pathetic desperate moves I've seen a player make, and in a friendly of all the places. It was disgraceful to the game, but either way we dominated, and if Pauleta is on the right day, Greece will see Portugal's full-potential, and it won't be pretty for them.

 

[::shinji::]

let's try to not make every thread a fight..

 

[Aveirenses]

I'm not trying to start a fight, just pointing out that friendlies don't represent a team's tournament play.

For Portugals sake, you better hope thats true

We haven't done that bad, our man-marking has been off, but if we that fixed, and get an ability to take advantage of a team who plays defensively, we can be very dangerous at Euro.

no argument there...

.look to be honest with you for the past year and a half.....I've

been in a trance....

I can't believe my eyes or ears when I here the Greek national

teams results..

..and althought I want to believe..

.I've this feeling of false security in the past with the national

squad and the crash landing was harsh so I have my

reservations always...

..for me a good showing in the group would

be something to build upon....

qualifying for the next round would

be a dream come true..
