PBP: Greece vs Czech Republic: June 12 - Municipal Stadium Wroclaw [R]

The czechs look a lot stronger than I've predicted after the Russian clash. Maybe Russia really is a serious contender for the title?

 

Czech defense is really poor and that was exploited by Russia. The Greek attack is too anemic to capitalize on that poor defense.

 

its simply unbelievable that they disallowed that goal by Fotakis.Absolutely NO offside there...Unfortunately,Greek team went in the game nervous,anxious and that costs the game so far.Pretty dificult to get back in,although a quick goal in the second half could get them to it...

Lets see...

 

horrible error from cech , the ball slipped right through his 2 hands , if Greece somehow equalize or even win it itll be on him

 

Greece look a lot better after that goal

 

I actually think that was a good call, but the offside was so minimal you actually want those decisions to slide.

 

Greece have now made two great halftime adjustments so far, ups to the coach and players for that.

 

The combination of Cech's mistake and the adjustments have really brought Greece back into this game. I still think they'll give up another goal in the last 10 minutes here and it'll end 1-3. But it's been a much better half of football to watch.

 

It was a real game of two halves. The Czech performance in the second half was very poor.

 

Agreed. If they get out of the group they won't have a chance against the winner of Group B.

 

Satisfied with any win, we control our destiny against Poland. That's all we could hope for out of this.

Greece has a manager that knows how to make adjustments, we don't.

 

Poor Greece

Not really having a horse in the tourney I'm pulling for you guys.

Samaras needs to sit. Useless player for club and country.

 

Bad referee decisions for one more greece game, but the main problem is fernanto santos coaching.

Terrible decision even to include chalkias in the 23-man squad. i totally believe that not even one person who knows about the greek team would agree with that choice.
At least chalkias had the decency to quit the game himself(as he has done that again some times with his club the last two years)

Mitroglou is a good player but it was also terrible for santos to use him when samaras,salpi and gekas were in the game. And even more santos replaced fortounis,so we lost all the creativity of the midfield.
Should have subbed in mitroglou for samaras OR fetfa/ninis(of course not again erroneously in the wing) for samaras/salpingidis


Czechs are a bad team, maybe the worst in the tournament but they did the fundamentals and won greece that once again had a "silly" performance

 

couldnt agree more with you on Chalkias...He is a joke,definately the worst player of the tournament...Disagree though over Mitroglou,it was a good sub over Fortounis who didnt help as much with Poland...Anyways,now its all over,I think...If Poland loses tonight from Russia(0-1 to russians HT) then at last games Poland will go and eventually win the chechs,but I cant see how we are going to lose against Russia...
