Euro 2008: Greece friendly with Armenia
Posted by evdomada on June 3, 2008
Thanks to my recently added Setanta Sports subscription, I was able to watch Ellas last night take on Armenia in a pre Euro 2008 warm-up match.
I know it was a friendly and I know it’s an opportunity to try a few new things. However the lowly ranked Armenians caused more trouble than expected for the European champions. As the commentator concluded at the end of the coverage, Sweden, Russia and Spain will have nothing to fear from the Greeks based on this performance.
For those of us that have followed Greece’s matches from the World Cup qualifiers, through to the Euro qualifiers, will know what I mean about the team having this inability to threaten the opposing goal.
Reports claim that King Otto wasn’t concerned with the result or the performance of his players. Maybe it’s his ploy to bring Greece back into its traditional underdog status.
Although I refuse to be negative we can only hope that the team can improve on this performance.
