May 8, 2010
Can they finally add some hardware other than that cup they won six years ago in Euro 2004?
Team Greece, who topped Euro 2004, finished second in European Group Two behind Switzerland, but beat Ukraine 1-0 in a two-leg playoff to secure their place in the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The only score Greece had came in the away game in Donetsk.
That is the thing about this Greek team, they’re not flashy, but they have the mental fortitude to grind out 1-0 wins, no matter where they play.
The team’s appearance in the 2010 FIFA World Cup would only be t he second time in their country’s history that they have reached the World Cup finals.
Previously, in the USA in 1994, they exited in the first round after losing all three of their group games.
Their ambition will be much higher this time around.
During 2009, Greece played 10 internationals, winning four of them, losing twice, and drawing four.
Striker Theofanis Gekas is a key for the Greek national team. His 10-goal return was the highest tally by a player in European qualifying.
Another key is fellow striker Angelos Charisteas, who scored the winning goal at Euro 2004. He presents a physical challenge to opposing defenders because of his aerial prowess and height.
