So after finishing second behind Switzerland in Group 2 of UEFA’s qualifying for South Africa 2010, all that stands in Greece’s way now is Ukraine.

Only Greece Could Make A Group This Easy, That Difficult…

By: Chris Paraskevas | September 12th, 2009 | 2 Comments »

It is, on paper at least, the easiest World Cup Qualifying Group in Europe and perhaps world football, not counting the rather farcical system New Zealand need to go through in Oceania.
Greece though have retained an incredibly frustrating ability though to turn the most promising of situations into a nightmare, somehow contriving to allow Moldova to sneak a late equalizer ... [read]

I am deeply saddened to return to the Greece Blog on the heels of a bitter (to say the least) 2-0 loss to Switzerland on Saturday night in Basel. My big return was supposed to be capped with a huge celebration of a big win in Basel, but somebody (I’ll deal with ... [read]
