You’re crying so hard you’ll be causing a flood for us, please stop
It’s okay if you cry a little more. You’re emotions are understandable.

Greece’s was much better tho
Beating the hosts to win it is a shared experience and Greece did it twice lol
Though I actually thought your victory was nice, it wasn’t better. You played horrificly defensive football and if xG would’ve been a thing back then, everyone would’ve understood just how lucky you guys got. Literally every single win was outperforming the xG by a spectacular margin.
Impressive, sure. Better? nah…

We beat an insane portugal superteam at home twice, beat the spanish superteam, beat an insane czech republic team, destroyed peak france superteam and humiliated the portuguese in the final. Will never be repeated
Although I disagree with the guy you are replying to, I’ll let you know that the xG were not how you imagine them. There was a greek sport “journalist” who went through the matches and came to the conclusion that the xG goals would be consistent with the scoring.
I’m linking the video and, although it is in greek, you can go to the photos inside the video which show where the shots were taken from in some of the matches.

PLAYER RATINGS [the most objective you’ll find]
GREECE [5-3-2]: G. Poyet 6 Vlachodimos 8 - Rota 5, Mavropanos 6, Retsos 6.5, Koulierakis 5 [60’ Siopis 6], Tsimikas 6.5 - Masouras 6, Kourbelis 5 [60’ Bouchalakis 5], Mantalos 5.5 [80’ Pavlidis 4] - Bakasetas 5 [60’ Fountas 5], Ioannidis 7

What a referee😂.
But at the and a deserved win.
Btw fuck of with your laser lights.
WHOOP WHOOP🙌
Still props to the Greek. They kept it quite tight at the back. Just wondering why their two strikers were left out? If they could just materialise some chances, it would have been a way more tight game. They were mostly toothless…
It seemed like the plan was to lock up the back to keep it 0-0, and the bring in the attacking players in the last 10-15 minutes to take advantage of the tired defense.

Can someone tell me if Malàka would be the good term for the ref?
Can be used as a term for anything between ‘‘Brother/Friend to Asshole/Wanker’’ so, yes.
Considering the pen he gave and the one he didn’t, yeah, totally accurate
I see you played Odyssey, lol
Yes I did lol
Yeah, we all learned a handful of words of Greek.
It was nice that Kassandra returned in Valhalla.
Should have had 4 penalties but whatever.
I dont want to see Weghorst in the NT ever again.
Only 4? It was close to 16 penalties and 9 reds against greece for NL. Disgraceful refereeing
- Handball whilst falling down
- Foul on van Dijk (given)
- Foul on Dumfries (given)
- Foul on Brobbey
- Support hand (not given)
- Foul By Van Dijk (given)
- Dive (given)
- Actual penalty (not given)
- It is not a “support hand” if he goes out of his way to move his hand towards the ball. 2&3. 😂😂😂
- Glad we at least agree on something.
Probably still usefull as a sub tbh. But shouldnt start.
He’s one of those momentum footballer’s you bring in in the last 15 minutes to annoy the fuck out of everyone and force mistakes with tireless running lol.
It’s just so annoying that his ego makes him throw a massive hissy fit when he isn’t starting. Can’t wait until we have Memphis and Gakpo back
Idk. Not really missing Memphis tbf
Please mr cowman, no more weghorst. I like his passion but he’s very limited.
How did Van de Ven play off the bench
This Dutch team has some serious issues but Greece came up short against both them and France in some close games
We are winning the whole thing!!
We were shit, Greece was shit, and the ref & VAR were shit. Just a giant shit show but we got the job done.
don’t forget the cunts with the laser pens, they top the shit charts
No idea how the UEFA doesn’t crack down on that harshly.
If I were a player I’d bring back the Edgar Davids look for a day and rock a pair of laser safely glasses.
Honestly, makes me ashamed to be Greek and root for the greek team.
Let’s see how we do on the playoffs.
I know there’s virtually no chance of it happening, but Ireland and Gibraltar have a chance to do something objectively hilarious in a month’s time
Why didn’t you do it yourself? Had two games to do something, scoring a total of 0 goals. Maybe next time start with some strikers.
Hey so can u against france tbf

Ireland would literally benefit from losing to us lol
Yeah it’s over Ireland will definitely throw the game. It makes no sense for them to try

It’s a shame we have become so hospitable nowadays. Really makes you miss those 2018 encounters with the Dutch

VAR is a flat circle.
We weren’t great, crazy that we legit should’ve had 4 pens instead of 2. The foul on Brobbey and the guy who dived one ball with his arm first in the first half.
Never let Weghorst take a pen again.
Again, sloppy game but with 4 of our starting 11 out injured we should just be happy we won.
IIRC, if a hand is supporting your weight while falling, it can’t be given as a handball. That is presumably the judgement

He clearly moved his entire body and arm towards the ball to block it though. If the rules say that wasn’t a pen then the rules suck.
yea by the current interpretation they can literally act as goalkeepers on low shots

Still hilarious that the replay just looks like his shoulder and the ball had some magnetic pull
Yeah but we both know that wasn’t the case. He literally lunged at the ball.
