World Cup 2014: How Greek National team will go to next phase (pics)

Our team kept alive their hopes of qualification after the ... golden tie with Japan in Natal, despite the fact that played with a player less, from the 35th minute of the match.

So our National team might not have scored any goals after the first two games, but the point against the team of Alberto Tzakeroni ... kept us alive. The coaching staff and players are focusing now on the game against the Ivory Coast, where we absolutely need to win.

What should happen in order our National team to proceed in the final 16?

Greece (1b) should win the team of Didier Drogba (3b), while the champion Colombia (6b), which has already qualified, to not lose from Japan (1b)

The negative point is the fact that Colombians may wish to maintain forces in view of the difficult follow, -which probably will bring them against Italy or Uruguay-, something that can be exploited by Japanese .

As for the possibility of Japan to dominate in the last game, then our National team should perform miracles ... against Ivory Coast, as they will need to win with three more goals than that of Asians, to proceed.

Colombia 6 (5-1)

It is worth noting that Fernando Santos will have at his disposal Kostas Mitroglou, who was injured, and also Yiannis Maniatis and Costas Manolas, who had some minor problems after the game. The next appointment for National Team is Tuesday (24/6) at 23:00 pm, where the Greek team will claim to proceed (for the first time in their history) in the knockout stage of the World Cup.
