The Greek national team surprised many at the 2004 European Championship when they won the Euro Cup on Portuguese soil. However, the former glory is long gone, as Greece consistently misses out on major football tournaments. In the Euro 2024 qualifiers, the “Hellenes” were placed in a group with France and the Netherlands and finished in third place.
In the playoffs, Greece confidently defeated Kazakhstan but couldn’t find a way past the Georgian defense. The decisive match ended in a draw, and Georgia won in the penalty shootout. Over the summer, Greece played two friendlies, losing 1-2 to Germany and then defeating Malta 2-0.
A similar situation occurred for Finland in their group. The “Suomi” finished third in a group with Denmark, Slovenia, and Kazakhstan, but thanks to their Nations League ranking, they advanced to the playoff round. However, in the first match, they suffered a heavy 1-4 defeat to Wales away and said goodbye to their hopes of playing in a second consecutive European tournament.
Finland played three friendly matches last summer, with expected results. They beat Estonia 2-1 but lost to Portugal 2-4. In their final friendly, the “Suomi” drew 2-2 with Scotland.
