Greece 1 - Moldova 0 Euro 2008 Qualifying

[Euro_2004_Champs]

In Euro 2008 Qualifying Greece started out with a win against Moldova. Watching the game, the first half demonstrated that the Greek midfield was quite slow with Zagorakis in the centre. Very few chances for Greece came out of the first half. A penalty was given to Greece for a foul on Dellas. Basinas however missed the penalty from the spot.

In the second half, Greece played a much better game with the removal of Zagorakis. A few chances came up and finally with Lymperopoulos as an attacking mid, a goal came from one of the many corner kicks Greece had.

Lymperopoulos headed the ball in from the corner to put a winning start in for Greece. Lymperopoulos has scored twice already in his two appearances as an attacking midfield.

[creative football]

I managed to see the game. Greece outclassed them, but were not creative in the first half. When the decided to carry the ball and penetrate in the second, it was a much better game thatn the long ball nonsense of the first half. That first half reminded me of the old (not present) English game. It sucked. IN the second half they were much better.
