我来说两句

希腊

How they qualified

Beat Romania 4-2 on aggregate in the play-off having been edged off top spot in Group G on goal difference by Bosnia-Herzegovina. Goal difference is not their strong point: their 25 points in 10 qualifying games came despite only scoring 12 goals.

World Cup high

USA ‘94. Reached the World Cup finals for the very first time in their history.

World Cup low

USA ‘94. Were tonked in each of their opening games at USA ’94, firstly when a doped-up Maradona inspired Argentina to a 4-0 win. They then crashed to Bulgaria by the same score before a 2-0 defeat to Nigeria in the final match completed the American nightmare.

Familiar faces

Giorgos Karagounis (Fulham), Charis Mavrias (Sunderland).

The manager

Fernando Santos had the somewhat unenviable task of taking over from Otto Rehhagel who had led Greece to triumph at Euro 2004, but the Portuguese has managed to make even more of an art form out of the 1-0 win. Five of their 10 qualifiers were won by this scoreline.

How in danger he is? 7/10

Most likely to light up Brazil

With vital goals in group games and three over two games in the play-off Olympiakos striker Kostas Mitroglou has emerged as the new star of Greek football and is being tracked by many of Europe’s top clubs. And Liverpool.

Most likely to be sent home in disgrace

Former Portsmouth striker Theofanis Gekas has fallen out with countless managers and retired from international football in 2010 citing “special circumstances within the team”. He returned to the squad a year later.

Title odds: 200/1

The stereotype is ...

Ruthless efficiency. As demonstrated by the 2.08 points they gained for every goal scored during qualification. Strong at set-pieces, and with an often chaotic, yet extremely effective approach to defending.

The reality is ...

Eh, see above. To their lethal set-piece delivery they have managed to add the chipped ball over the top for Mitroglou to run onto. And that’s about that.

What they're known for

Smashing plates 8 per cent

Debt 42 per cent

Protesting 10 per cent

Philosophy 24 per cent

Other really old things 16 per cent

How Brazilian are they?

About as Brazilian as Ouzo.

How Google translates the national anthem

I recognise you from the edge sword terrible, I know in the face violence with which measures the earth.

How long is it?

The full version has 158 verses. Thankfully we can expect a radio friendly two minutes or so.

How to dress like their fans

Togas, centurion helmets, sandals and shields are the order of the day. Greece fans won’t be complaining about the heat.

Commentator's go-to stat

Scored one goal every 75 minutes during their qualifying group. Conceded a goal every 225 minutes during their qualifying group. This is their third time in the World Cup – they have only won one game.

晋级之路

在预选赛中,希腊积分同波黑相同,但由于净胜球劣势而屈居G组第二。在附加赛中,希腊以4:2击败罗马尼亚。净胜球数并非其强项:在10场资格赛中,希腊赢得25分,却只进了12个球。

世界杯高光时刻

1994年美国世界杯上,希腊第一次进入世界杯决赛。

世界杯低谷时刻

1994年美国世界杯上,误服兴奋剂的马拉多纳助阵阿根廷,使得希腊以4-0的成绩在揭幕战中惨败。随即又以相同分数败给保加利亚,其后,又在决赛中以2-0的成绩败给尼日利亚,这连续三次失败成为希腊的美国噩梦。

知名球员

乔治斯·卡拉古尼斯(富勒姆足球俱乐部),查理斯·马夫里亚斯(桑德兰足球俱乐部)

主帅

费尔南多·桑托斯不可避免地要接替曾在2004年领导希腊夺得欧洲国家杯的奥托·雷哈格尔留下来的重担。但是这位葡萄牙教练似乎把比赛变为了一件1-0胜利的艺术形式。在10场资格赛中,5场都是以1-0得胜的。

他的下课几率

7/10

可能大放异彩的球员

小组赛中的关键得分,附加赛中2场攻入3球,使得奥林匹亚科斯足球俱乐部的前锋,康斯坦斯·米特罗格卢脱颖而出,成为希腊足球的新星,引起了包括利物浦足球俱乐部在内的多家欧洲顶级俱乐部的密切关注。

可能被提前遣返回国的球员

曾效力于朴茨茅斯的前锋,蒂奥法尼斯·耶卡斯在与无数主帅的合作者都曾发挥失常,并在2010年声称“由于特殊原因”,退出国家队。一年之后重回国家队,成为替补。

夺冠赔率:200/1

固有印象

超高的效率,在资格赛中每个球平均得分2.08便已体现出这一点。擅长定位球,防守严密。

球队实情

前文提到,对于致命的定位球,希腊尽力将球传给米特罗格卢。

希腊的知名之处

摔盘子的习俗(传说能够带来好运气) 8%

债务 42%

抗议 10%

哲学 24%

其他古老事物 16%

他们有多巴西范

和希腊的茴香烈酒一样。

谷歌如何翻译希腊国歌

我能从您可敬的剑那刀刃上认出您,我能从您照亮大地那光芒中认出您

国歌时长

完整的版本一共有158节。在本次世界杯上,我们可能会听到2分钟左右的国歌。

如何装扮成希腊球迷

宽外袍,百夫长头盔,带子鞋,盾牌是这天的专用服装。希腊球迷是不会抱怨天热的。

解说员将会提到的统计

在希腊的资格赛中,平均每75分钟进一个球,每225分钟失一个球。这是希腊第三次参加世界杯——但是只赢过一场比赛。
