The derby of the 2nd group of the second division of the Nations League between our national team and England, in which the Dimitris Kourbelis due to punishment and that’s why the Sotiris Alexandropoulosis more than a game about “blue and white”.
It is the first of the three opportunities he will probably have in the coming months to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. The goal is difficult but not impossible, based on the competitive image shown by our national team with “captain” Ivan Jovanovich.
Standard procedure
With a win or a draw, our internationals lock in first place in their group, regardless of what they do in the final matchday of the competition in Helsinki against Finland. Topping the table will, barring any shocking odds, see them into the play-offs for a World Cup ticket, should they fail to secure direct entry from the qualifying stage. Our national team can finish first in its group even if it is defeated by the “three lions” on Thursday. If Greece lose by one goal, they will have a better goal difference in total games than their opponent (+7 Greece, +6 England). This means that with a win against Finland and maintaining the difference (depending on England’s score) they will be first.
With a draw against the Finns, Greece remains first, as long as the match between the English and the Irish also ends in a draw. With a defeat of our national team in the last game, it has the possibility to stay first, as long as England is also defeated with a score that maintains the difference in our favor.
If Greece loses by two goals against the English, the “three lions” will take the second tie criterion in their favor, which is the goal difference in the matches between them (+1 England, -1 Greece). So, in the last match we will expect exclusively England’s gela and a better result from Greece.
The equality criteria
The Nations League tie ranking criteria are as follows: 1. Most points in head-to-head matches, 2. Head-to-head goal difference, 3. Best head-to-head attack, 4. Overall group goal difference, 5. Best attack in the group, 6. Most away goals in the group, 7. Most wins in the group, 8. Most away wins in the group, 9. Fewest disciplinary control points in the group (one point for each yellow card, three for sending off with second yellow, three for a straight red, four for a yellow followed by a red card) and 10. Highest position in the Nations League ranking.
The Football Association of England has agreed for the men’s national team with the Thomas Tuchelhowever the German coach will take over her fortunes from January 1, 2025. The Lee Carsleyas a temporary coach, will coach her in the last two matches of the tournament.
Next Thursday’s game between Greece and England will be played at a packed Olympic Stadium as tickets sold out within just five days of their release.
Mouzakitis and the 17-year-old club
The federal coach has chosen a main body that justified him with four victories in as many games in the competition, with the most important one against England at Wembley (2-1). For the last two matches of the Nations League, Ivan Jovanovic invited the great talent of Olympiakos, Christos Mouzakitis, who, about a month and a half before he became an adult (born December 25, 2006), was rewarded by the coach of our national team for his impressive performances with the red and white. If the 17-year-old midfielder gets game time with England or Finland, then he will join a very exclusive club of footballers who have played for the men’s national team before turning 18.
