Greece put in a lackluster effort after losing 0-2 to Korea. The Koreans' speed, sharp tactics and hunger had Greece in all sorts of trouble. If they don’t show some grit and walk away victors, they will be sent packing, but not before facing a tough match against Argentina. "We have to see the overall picture and what went wrong," he said. "The goals we conceded were the results of mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and we made mistakes as a team not as individuals. "Nigeria are a very strong team. We will now analyse all aspects of our game and that of Nigeria to see what we have to do to win. We carry on. We all know that in football a lot of times you have bad results. We're not disappointed, we have to be realistic about our potential and what we can do." Greece is in their second FIFA World Cup finals and have played four matches in total, but they have yet to score.
Nigeria gave a creditable effort against Argentina, but ultimately lost 0-1. It could’ve been a lot worse if it wasn’t for the outstanding goaltending from Vincent Enyeama. The 27-year-old proved a particular thorn in the side of superstar Lionel Messi, thwarting the Barcelona striker time and again. If the shot-stopper comes anywhere near that level of performance, it will take the combined efforts of the entire Greece side to overcome him.
"I’m happy enough with our approach against one of the best teams in the world. We had our fair share of luck and it ended up a good evening for us. I think we showed we have potential and proved we could go a long way. We’ve lost a match at the World Cup, but I’m hearing that the folk back home are happy. We didn’t play as well in attack as we’d hoped, but it’s good that we only conceded the one goal. It's going to be easier against the other teams," Peter Odemwingie, Nigeria forward.
