Greece vs Nigeria - 3.00pm - RTE2/BBC HD

D2D

Technically Match 18 (FIFA have it 19)
Both teams second match in Group B
Mangaung/Bloemfontein - Free State Stadium

Daemos

It is Match 19 btw

It's not exactly a massive centerpiece match, I'd say it'll either be 0-0, or Nigria might scrape one and win 1-0

That_Guy

Can't see Greece scoring in this match. They looked completely useless against South Korea going forward. Fully expecting a Nigeria win. Don't think there'll be many goals but I'd gladly like to be proven wrong.

The Cannibal

Greece are slow, so I can see this being a good game for Obafemi Martins.

EDIT: Shocked that Martins isn't starting. Team changed for the positive when he came on against Argentina and his pace would suit this game.

_Bella_

Come on Greece (don't like how they play I just want the South Koreans through!)

Well it's going to be either way really.

But Jimmy will add life. BELIEVE

The Cannibal

How many Greek gods and mythology references will he make to describe simple passes or goals?

Better than crappy cliches anyway.

"One good thing about vuvuzelas is that they're never out of tune, they only play one note" Good man Jimmy!

Paul Tergat

This is going to be rubbish. Cmon Nigeria!

_Bella_

Ouch... not alot of money in Greece but somehow these people managed to afford to come

The Cannibal

What was the one he had during a Bernard Dunne fight? Something like

"That's it, deliver the milk and go to the next house."

Legend thanks

Bad when you can't even fill up the stadium for an African team.

Irish Times commentary.
Face meet palm....

The Greeks lost their opening game to Korea Republic and Nigeria suffered a defeat against Nigeria. Both teams should now focus on the attack although this is traditionally a problem for the Greeks in particular.

That ball really does move an awful lot in the air.

oh dear

That_Guy

Paul Tergat

Get in. Really dont like the way Greece play football

That_Guy

Love seeing that replay. Looked hilarious.

Mr.Nice Guy

The Greek keeper is all over the shop. Can see Nigeria scoring more.

FreeOSCAR

Goalkeeper lulz.

IvySlayer

Great interception there from the ref.

That_Guy

Did Jimmy just say "the flowers are dying"?

_Bella_

Thats a bit harsh

That_Guy

What the hell?

LOL "WWE". Ah Jimmy you legend.

Can't make any sense of him.

Oooh red card.

Paleface

Moment of madness there.

Jimmy does his research, I would have at least expected a WWF.

Drummerboy2

Could cost Nigeria very dearly. Another African team imploding?

IvySlayer

''I wonder what language he's cursing in''

That_Guy

Jimmy is the only thing saving this game.

redout

This nigerian chap is a knob.

Talk about milking the sending-off.

He must have taken a good 90seconds to walk off the pitch!

The ref even telling him to get on with it and he still strolls.

Amazing.

Is Jimmy McGee really criticising the decision? Kaita kicked out and it doesnt matter if it caused an injury or not, this isnt the 60s anymore Jimmy!

On first instance I saw nothing wrong but the replay shows him kicking out. You can't do that anymore. Jimmy just doesn't seem to realise that.
