PBP: Greece vs Russia: June 16 - National Stadium Warsaw [R]

with all eyes on the Poland v Czech game, this may be one of the most neglected games of the tournament. However, I don't think it's going to be as easy as many think... Russia should still go through though...

Terrible defending by Russia. Good finishing from Karagounis.

HELLAS!!! HELLAS!!! HELLAS!!!

Greece scores, but as long as there's not a winner in the other game - both will go through!

Wow Greece is the first team that actually played 10 man defense the whole game.

Better than there 1 man defense for the first two games, in the first half at least.

No, this is just terrible to the eyes.

Maybe for you. For those of us rooting for Greece, this is better than the crap we saw in games 1 and 2.

No, it's not. That's what Russia gets for not capitalizing on many chances. Greece had one chance and scored. Kudos to them. Greece isn't the only country that defends and counter-attacks. They play to their strengths. Their is nothing wrong with that.

What a joke of a call.

AHHHHHHHHHH. Drilled the post...so close.

Yes! He can walk again!

HELLAS!! HELLAS!! HELLAS!!!!!

That is the way you get a result.

i was cheering for greece , because it seems in every freakin game they play they get an unfair decision from the refs , the 2 imaginary yellow cards ( red ) against poland , the offside goal against the Czechs and the uncalled pk now , they atleast deserved to go through to the next round although i wouldve prefered the russians to go alongside them instead of the czechs

exciting game! Not the most technically sound but a thriller due to the stakes!

MOTM for me is Samaras. His holdup play, his clearing, his touches, his creativity was just plain fun to watch. Didn't get on the scoresheet, but he had a HUGE impact on the game.

Greece was very bad against Poland and Czech Republic and now they're through? Unbelievable....

Possibly Germany vs. Greece

Why does greece advance when russia had better goal difference?

What a way for the Russians to go out of the competition!
Well, this is not like Eurovision where you make it to first or second place because your neighbours vote for you; here you win if you are good (or at least less crap than the others).

The first tie-breaker is head to head.

Congratulations to Greece ! from an Irish Fan

Congradulations to Greece. Im stunned Russia is not going through this group.

Greece plays great defensively, but they really need to cut back on the flopping, whining, fake injuries, etc (aka: Italian styled soccer)... its rather annoying and disrespectful to the sport.

Italy has been great thus far this tournament so no need to insult them, but the fake injuries, diving, whining was embarrassing for the Greeks today.
