The Greeks against the Russians a shell of the team in Euro 2004, the expectations of all Greeks weighed in a negative way in their spirit as a result only half-hearted attempts in their personal clashes with their opponents. Only a handful of efforts across the field and through the game reminded the determination showed in the games of Euro 2004.
A reluctance to play the game on the ground, high balls in attempts to pass the mid-field, lost in accuracy, did not preserve the flow of the game in their favour. No commitment showed. Haphazard attempts deemed enough by the players executed only to justify their presence at that stage of the tournament. They might as well have stayed at home.
