As the date draws near .......one can't help but think what a tremendous let down a loss to Northern Ireland would...be

.........HA......as if that would ever happen in LEOFOROS



(but the possibility exists....this isn't baseball.....its football....and " football is a whore")

1-0 Northern Ireland, Taylor PK

2-0 Greece

2x Charisteas

I think the :drevil: Hellenic Republic :drevil: will win 3-1, and thus NI break the scoring, perhaps even scoring first. (H)

If NI score first Greece will crap themselves and no longer be able to play

Greece will win, or else they'll get sh!t beat out of them by the fans.

well that sure is classy

it sure is. Thanks for your positive feedback. Ohh, Greece 2-0 Vryzas and Charisteas

Greece will most likely win 1-0 or 2-0 but I've got a feeling they might CHOKE and blow this opportunity. ;)

Well, we hold the record for longest a european team have gone without scoring. We are going to lose to Greece and I don't want us to score. We got one record so let's hold on to what little pride we have left...no, that didn't make sense, I know, but do you know what time it is?:D

I do hope we can at least score, though. A win is very unrealistic, a draw...maybe with a little bit of luck...

Go North Ireland :D

Greece 2:0 N.Ireland :crazyboy:

Greece 4-0 N.Ireland :brow:

Taylor is a tough GK tho, in fine form too.

Nah, Greece are gonna make it HELLAS for your lot Phil (H)

I reckon it'll end 3-0, meaning there's a chance of a plum tie with Spain for us in the playoffs :p

I don't know what to think, they tied spain, so it won't be that easy.

The big game is today, just like every other game.:rockman:

Damn, northern Ireland are defending well.

spain is winning their game.. right now spain first in the group

I think Greece will win.

Armenia is not going to win, Spain nearly made it 2-0, but the goal was offside. Northern Ireland aren't going to score, but they're doing very well in defence. Greece is attacking, but are unsuccesful so far.

the second half is over, time is whinning down for Greece.

I'm surprised nobody made a Switzerland-Ireland thread, the Swiss are winning 2-0. They'll be on their way to Euro 2004.

2nd half begins, Nikolaidis and Venetedis go in and Dabizas and Charisteas go out.

Greece is playing too much with the ball in the box and NI keep clearing it.

Dellas just got a yellow.

Switzerland is officiallly in Euro 2004.

Michael Hughes just got a yellow as well.

Armenia are now playing pretty well. Hopefullly they'll get a goal back and keep it like that.

Spain scored another, but it's ruled out.

Gillespie goes out and Smith goes in because of a possible injury.:o McCartney is given a yellow.

PENALTY SHOT! Vryzas was brought down in the box.

GOALLLLLLLLL! 1-0 EURO 2004 baby here we come! Goal form Tsartas. Raul scores for Sapin, but if greece hold on, they go through.

yeap.. I dont think a miracle will happen

Greece will go through and Spain will go to the playoffs unless NI score a goal in the last few seconds.

COME ON NI

Game over, we win. EURO 2004, I'll be taping all their games. About time they got into a big compitetion since the World Cup in '94.

Congratulations Greece.. once again.. Spain underachieves.. seems to be a commond trend

Greece, 7 goals in 7 matches, cant believe so crappy team will play Eurocup in Portugal.

Is Spain fault who sucked in 2 matches :/

I think Greece are a good team, you can hardly blame Spain ! (H)

It's a very big surprise... I remember ppl in greece were almost 100% they lost 1st place after loosing the first 2 games....

Yes, but Spain is crappier.

Id like to say "Greece u played very nice and u deserve it" but would be stupid since Greece will be in Portugal cause spain was a total joke in 2 matches, a ****ing joke.

Greece is not a cappy team... But Spain is one of the best teams in the world... (correction; very good players, not a good team).

And our record continues...bring on World Cup 2006 Qualifying!:D

I saw some of the highlights, Northern Ireland have a goalkeeper. I forgot to mention that McCartney got a red card after taking down Vryzas in the penalty area and the goalkeeper was just inches away from saving Tsartas's penalty kick. Hopefully we'll do well in Portugal.

wow........imagine the bounce when finally N.Ireland score!

:bouncy: :bouncy: :dragan: :bob: :bob: :dragan: :bouncy: :bouncy:

Spain will qualify for the Finals anyway,they are the strongest team among those remaining in the play-offs.
I am Greek and my favourite national team from Europe is Spain(apart from Greece,of course),so I am happy that both teams will actually be in Portugal next summer.
And, btw, Greece is not a crap team, maybe not an exciting team to watch,but we proved we have the nerve to leave Spain behind-and believe me,with Herr Rehhagel as a coach,it won't be easy for anyone to beat us.

Greece is an exciting team to watch. In their last two games against Armenia and Ukraine, before they played NI, the score could have been 4-0 nothing for Greece if they would have put away their obvious chances.

I didn't see the game, but from what I hear, Greece played like crap against NI.

Greece has always had talented players but for some reason they underperform.
