Frustration, frustration but also belief that the World Cup was not lost

The frustration was evident in its locker room National team after the Defeat by Scotland 3-1 in “Hubden Park”. The players realize on their own that they have wronged themselves and from some inertia lost a decisive game, which on performance were deserved to win.

Beyond the gloom, there was and August for the referee, Norwegian Eskasbut also VAR, as in the 1-1 phase it is not completely clear that there is no offside, and there is still another press in Ioannidis in the area that was not even replay.

However, despite the bent heads, players do not lose their faitheven though they realize that the chances of qualifying are few. According to Football Meets Data, Greece is only 2.4% likely to be first and only 12.1% being second.

The first place now looks like a … delusional dream, as Greece will need to make it 3/3 with Denmark (outside), Scotland (inside) and Belarus (outside) and at the same time to draw Scotland-Dania on November 18th. If there is a winner there, only a second one can finish Greece if it makes it 3/3.

Also can be second and with a tie in Copenhagensince it is 2/2 in November, Scotland (which will logically defeat Belarus on Sunday) loses from Denmark and Greece defeats the Scots and overtaken the overall goal difference. It is noted that in the event of a tie, which in this case will be at 10 degrees, the total goal difference will measure. Right now Scotland is 5-1 (+4) and Greece at 6-7 (-1).

The mission of the Greek team will train today at noon in Glasgow and at 20:00 will fly to Copenhagen, ahead of Sunday’s match against Denmark (21:45).
