[Seven]

Finally some quality football ahead of us, Greece and N. Korea will put in some display now.

South Korea.

Very soft free kick and bam, goal. The fans who didn't show up for this game were right

I'll most likely have Greece in the background today while studying and I'll watch the other two matches peacefully.

Lucky you, I won't be able to watch Argentina game, I have exam at 17h

And they score against them at their own game

The Koreans very surprised: a Greek took the ball from one of them cleanly inside the box.. how was that not a penalty the Koreans ask themselves?

 

[Alen]

Clear penalty.
But the ref didn't see that Torosidis used his knee.

True. He used his knee to play the ball. In the Korean world this is always a foul.

Greece looking good so far, but the ref is making it very hard for them.

 

[Alen]

Come on. He kicked the Korean with his knee and that's why the dude lost his balance. The first 2 replays didn't show it but the last replay showed it clearly. If the ref saw it it must have been a penalty. But it was hard to see it so no biggy. Can't blame the ref.

Joking aside, I'd never call that a penalty. It would virtually mean you can't take the ball from a forward inside the box. The Koreans didn't even ask for one by the way.

He didn't get the ball. The Korean was getting ready to shoot the ball and he's kicked from behind and falls just before he shoots it. The Greek defender didn't even touch that ball.
It doesn't matter though. If the Koreans don't win then this "penalty" won't be a good excuse for them.

The Greeks are too big and slow for the Asians so far. They will lose if the match goes on like this. And despite being bigger, the Greeks are even losing the air duels. Doesn't look good for them right now.

The Greeks are a piss poor team. They need a miracle.

I still don't think it was a penalty though. Would have been very soft anyway and the free kick for the first goal should never have happened.

Boring as shit game.

 

[Seven]

Nice miss from the Koreans.

He should have chipped it.

 

[Alen]

What a chance

Awful defending, but the Greek keeper saves an 1 on 1.

 

[Alen]

Boring as shit game.

The names of the teams are making the match not attractive, but the match isn't boring, imo. A goal, 2-3 good chances, good ball movement and it's only 25 minutes into the game.

Good ball movement

The Greeks are a piss poor team.

I had odds ~10.00 that Greece will lose all 3 group matches and I took it. 20 eur for 200. So far so good

That's true, but it's completely onesided.

 

[Alen]

Good ball movement

Well, maybe it's more accurate to say non-stop ball movement. Very little time wasting, especially when S. Korea has the ball. They always go forward and move the ball pretty fast.

 

[Seven]

Greece are not motivated at all
