The first of the two “finals” in the qualifiers of the World Cup in Qatar is given tonight by the National Team of Greece, which welcomes Spain to OAKA for the 9th game (21:45, Cosmote Sport 1, Open TV, BwinΣΠΟΡ FM 94,6 and sport-fm.gr).
The “blue and white” wants the victory with which it will continue to hope for the conquest of the second of the 2nd group that leads to the draws of the World Cup.
Everyone in the representative team knows this and John Van Ship, despite the injury problems that his team has, appeared optimistic for tonight’s match at the press conference.
