The Ireland national team is going through tough times. The “Green Army” failed to qualify for the European Championship, finishing only fourth in their group with just 6 points, which came from two wins over modest Gibraltar. However, Ireland is now coached by Heimir Hallgrímsson, who performed a miracle with Iceland in 2016, and there are high hopes for him.
Still, Ireland had almost no chance to start the Nations League well. Their opponent was England, who underperformed in the previous Nations League and are now eager to return to League A. Ireland conceded twice in the first half from Declan Rice and Jack Grealish, suffering a 0-2 defeat.
The Greece national team was just one step away from qualifying for Euro 2024. They finished third in their qualifying group and crushed Kazakhstan 5-0 in the playoff semi-finals. However, in the final, Greece lost in a penalty shootout to the surprising Georgia team. After this defeat, Gus Poyet left his post as Greece’s head coach, and Serbian Ivan Jovanović was appointed in his place.
Jovanović’s debut was highly successful. In the first round of the Nations League, Greece defeated Finland 3-0 at home, thanks to a brace from Fotis Ioannidis and an own goal by Benjamin Källman.
