That is about as favorable as it gets, though Israel is an up and coming team, and the Swiss are respectable too.
I wouldn't celebrate just yet.....lol. It's going to be very difficult for this group to settle. I would say it's one of the hardest groups to be honest.
You've got to be kidding. It is certainly the easiest group -- Greece, Israel and Switzerland were each the lowest or second lowest ranked teams of the first three pots. What groups exactly are clearly harder? If Greece can't make the WC with this draw, they don't deserve to make the main event.
no, no, it can be difficult, but Greece will qualify...after the snooze-fest they enabled us all to watch over the Euros, they'll have plenty to play for 2010...
This is amazing. How come this is possible? With that said, I think it will be a close call between Greece, Switzerland and Israel. The swiss might top the group.
wat an ez group if greece and switzerland dont advance im gonna have to go to greece and assassinate the whole team
keep laughing and look at the seeded teams and how they were drawn. You Greeks were seeded A, Israel seeded B and SUE C i would of rather played serbia, belgium, N.ireland, even norway than the Swiss, and look they beat you in Greece. I can see you don't respect Israel much but we've played teams like france, rep ireland, swiss in wc qualifiers 06 and didn't loose one game, we're 19 games without a loss in the wc qualifiers so far. We're not exactly a push over. We didn't do that bad in the euro qualifiers either. This group is harder than some of the other groups. I like the greek team, i respect them, I think they played really well in tel aviv . you made great passes while we made horrid passes again and again. You won the first half and we won the second. It will be interesting in crete, a great game to watch I'm sure. cheers
amio5 we respect all the teams!who said we dont respect you?no mate i beleive your wrong on that...we aint no wonder team and we never have said that..2004 euro for us was and is in history wonders as all the players were one for all all for one.. now we have our problems were trying to fix them..as wc 2010 is comming.. anyway good luck on wednesday youll need it cheers
its a known fact greece got lucky 2004, no way in hell any skill was shown to win. i respect all teams against grece cuz theres a 75% chance greece will tie or lose. after the euro, were not winning anything until after 2020 maybe if were lucky
Inter4Life5 nooooooooope.... i disagree totally!!!! lucky once lucky twice and third?noooope!!!! portugal you beat twice and even on a strong friendly lately..with top class brazilian players.. what 75% are you talking about?go read---even today against israel the ARMY GENERALS spoke to the players to win against us!!what else are we going to read heheheheheheheheheheheheheh!!!!! AND ONE MORE THING if your not greek...stick with rugby or whatever GAMIMENO you play in NY as i see you dont know nothing on GREECES NT and its history.. http://www.novasports.gr/default.asp?aid= 174555...... so before posting 75% were going to lose kai tis malakies sou against us. WHILE the other teams send there army and there tanks in for help before otto we were 85th or so on the FIFA world ranking.. from the day otto came to the NT we have been even --6th at some time. 2nd lots of fans even kids and women are with the NT were ever they go.. 3rd we play top class when we want to..that we never ever had before.. 4th the other teams know were not that easy anymore.. P.S<israel bringing in there ARMY generals!!!!heheeheheheheehheeh i can go on and on... from 2003 and on we went up the ladder and it was a great drive.. sooon i beleive otto will start bringing in the young stars for the WC2010.. gia auto na skeftese ti malakies grafis ....
What tanks, what are you talking about. You really have psycological problems if you think that. You talk about us bringing in tanks and generals......you muppet.... Your fans waive palestinian flags and hang them on balloons. Stick to futball and leave politics out of it. Your side got lucky because of a dumb penalty that a dumb player on our team committed. ' I've always liked the greek team and at time shown some support fo them, but when I see idiots, and dumb kuntz like that greek guy with a arab flag and people saying were soldiers on the pitch, I really wish you'd fukn wake up. One day you will understand,,,,if your lucky.
ok so im from ny... i dont know anything about greece? being greek i must know something. and watching greece play is a disgrace. its a retirement home. the one good young player who should develop into a great player(ninis) doesnt play, whats the average age? 35? its a bunch of washed up players... whos in the group with greece israel switzerland moldova luxemburg and latvia. the only remotely challenging team is the swiss. israel has only ben haim who played with chelsea for a year,better yet 5 games. i hate people like you who think because we won the euro 2004, were a strong team. look at the results against decent teams since 2005 not very good if you ask me. were going to make the world cup obviously because look at the dam group, but wen they go to south africa, i better see the half u21 roster there cuz there looking better than the 40 year old senior team. and where did my posts go?
Your fans should stick to futball not waiving palestinian flags. Fuk them and may they suffer for it. Israel didn't loose 19 wc qualifiers and had much harder groups then greece in the past and did better. I don't want to hear about how we suck,,,,, your freak'n fans are arrogant. Your team played like sht and so did ours but we played just as good if not better.....only thing is a idiot on our team gave up a penalty. Realize that.
Go waive arab flags during your games. That shows your fans and tactics. You feakn muppets. I hope that fan with the palistinian flag dies a horrible death. DON'T BRING THAT SHYYTT INTO A FUTBALL MATCH KEEP IT OUT. you probably don't get it, If you one day understand then you'll realize how dumb that fan of yours was.
i dont wanna be a referee here, but ust stop with the racist comments. its just not right. i did not see the game, nor did i plan on seeing it, but from what i know, both teams are not good, but merely mediocre. im greek, ive seen the fans and what they can do, and they go way over the top. look at who i support, paok. the worst of them all, im not saying im like the ultras and go crazy, but i support the team. as for israel, theres enough problems now and in the past. making fun of israel on the internet it just dumb, doesnt make you sound like your any better than anyone else here. your not tough or cool. just state the opinion on the topic which is greece's national team. not palestine. not the israeli military, talk football.
I take comfort that their is fans like you for greece. Ones that see this and denounce it. congrats on qualifying to the wc. good luck. I wish u well. beat the swiss for us, we want another shot in the final game.
as much as i love greece and everything, i cant stand the people. 75% of them have the biggest egos and it just pisses me off to see it. anyways, greece is probably gonna finish first in the group from what it looks like, but second is coming close. whoever else moves on i widh them the best of luck, and efexor, when greece are in the world cup, well see how amazing you think they are. ive faced the fact were not great, but i deal with it. i cant wait to see whose gonna be in their group.
