Tried, but failed (0-1) n Greek national team against the Netherlands.

Most, the qualification in the final phase of Euro 2024 through the 2nd qualifying group, not only is it not in her hand, but essentially it has been decided in favor of the “oranie”.

However, in the two remaining matches, that of Ronald Koeman has one side match above (Greece has a day off the following day), on the other hand, it faces the excluded Ireland (within) and Gibraltar (outside), while our representative group welcomes them “tricolor”.

It should be noted that in case of a tie the Netherlands is superior to Greece, after the two victories in the matches between them.

Of course, its outcome Gibraltar-Ireland it did not affect the case of “qualification”, but only the battle to… avoid the last place, which was “captured” by the home team.
