UEFA History
2008 Final Round in Austria and Switzerland |
"King Otto" wants to score a coup againGreece made history with their astonishing title triumph at the 2004 UEFA European Championship in Portugal. Now, they will once again attempt this type of football upset at the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in South Africa. Their chances of qualification are by no means an impossible feat, with their toughest opponents in the group Switzerland, Israel and outside shots Latvia. After a disappointing Euro performance in Austria and Switzerland, where Greece only managed 1 goal in 3 matches, manager Otto Rehhagel wants to prove that his team is still capable of competing at the highest standard of international football. So far, Greece has only managed to reach the finals of one FIFA World Cup™, the 1994 tournament in the USA. There they failed to survive the group stage, losing all three games, scoring no goals and conceding ten goals. “King Otto” is determined to alter this desolate World Cup record and considering the quality of the opponents in their group and the experience at his disposal, he should have a good chance of securing a ticket for South Africa. |
