Anyway back for the Greeks? We thought there was no way back against Poland...

@Karolos yes, some Dutch-based strikers flop in England. Thinking of Kezman, Alves

by Soccer Maniac 6/12/2012 4:59:50 PM
@mark_meadows can't really see them coming bakc by playing these high balls to Samaras. they would probably need to risk and add another striker with Fanis Gekas.

by Karolos 6/12/2012 5:00:33 PM
At least one Greek sub, that's good

by Soccer Maniac 6/12/2012 5:01:23 PM
Gekas is on

by Karolos 6/12/2012 5:02:09 PM
Rosicky is off, must be an injury. And Gekas is on for Greece to give them some more bit

Jiracek with a dive there, guy barely touched him

by mark_meadows 6/12/2012 5:04:59 PM
maybe they don't want to risk rosicky with another yellow. if he's hurt, bad news for the czechs.

@footballmc Yep, Sergei still remembers when you beat him in a pole vault competition at school too Colletti!!

horrible mistake by cech. echoes of turkey in euro 2008 when his miscue let the turks back into the game.

by mdk 6/12/2012 5:10:23 PM
Greeks score after terrible Cech blunder

by mark_meadows 6/12/2012 5:10:33 PM
Greece pull one back.

by Reuters Sports 6/12/2012 5:10:37 PM
this will be a very interesting second half. Gekas scores just like Salpingidis when he came on as a sub against Poland. Just what the Greeks needed.

by Karolos 6/12/2012 5:10:41 PM
Woah, another howler by Cech to go alongside the one against Turkey in 2008. Appalling handling, gives Greeks a goal

by soccerLjungg via twitter 6/12/2012 5:11:06 PM
he thought he was colliding with defender, that's memories of his head colilsion that make him lose concentration like that

by mark_meadows 6/12/2012 5:11:12 PM
The Greeks are the second half masters in this tournament. Come back on the cards.

by Reuters Sports 6/12/2012 5:11:34 PM
This has certainly NOT been a good game for the keepers. What a terrible misplay by the Czech keeper - but still unlikely the Greeks can salvage a point from this one.

by Graham Green 6/12/2012 5:11:39 PM
the pressure will certainly be on the Czechs now.

by Karolos 6/12/2012 5:12:09 PM
Still no goalless draws in this tournament, nine games in.

by Graham Green 6/12/2012 5:12:24 PM
@mark_meadows that is a fair point about Cech fearing collision with another player

by Soccer Maniac 6/12/2012 5:12:27 PM
55 mins gone

by mark_meadows 6/12/2012 5:12:32 PM
and knowing how Greece play, they will pour forward for the next 35 minutes

by Karolos 6/12/2012 5:12:54 PM
So, the ninth game in a row from the start without a goalless draw #magic

by soccerLjungg via twitter 6/12/2012 5:13:09 PM
@ianchad_tele. You've been paying too much attention to David Bedford !!

by footballmc via twitter 6/12/2012 5:15:42 PM
Very strange error from Cech. Does not often make errors that big for Chelsea but like four years ago he reserves his biggest mistakes for the Euros.

by Reuters Sports 6/12/2012 5:15:55 PM
@kevinmitchell50 @ianchad_tele. You've obviously been paying too much attention to David Bedford !

by footballmc via twitter 6/12/2012 5:16:27 PM
Greeks look more alive

nice save from cech. didn't look timid on that one.

by mdk 6/12/2012 5:19:12 PM
O Samaras that was awful

by Soccer Maniac 6/12/2012 5:20:24 PM
@mdk Yeah Cech is such a high quality keeper that when he makes mistakes you have to double take and ask if it really happened.

by Reuters Sports 6/12/2012 5:22:01 PM
on the other side of the pitch apart from a first half save greece keeper Sifakis was not really busy

by Karolos 6/12/2012 5:22:42 PM
Baros off to be replaced by Pekhart, who did nothing when he was at Tottenham. I saw him at World Under-21 championships a few years back

pekhart was nuremburg's leading scorer this season. baros held the ball up better tnite but he's lost that quick step that made him so dangerous in Euro 2004.

by mdk 6/12/2012 5:25:33 PM
@mdk I think Pekhart was just too young when he went to Spurs

by Soccer Maniac 6/12/2012 5:26:27 PM
Greece coach Sanots throws in another striker. Mitroglou on for Fortunis.
