ENGLAND DIDN’T HAVE THEIR BEST DAY AT THE OFFICE IN THEIR MATCH AGAINST A DYNAMIC GREECE LAST NIGHT, WITH THE ENERGETIC GREEK TEAM PROVING THAT THEY WERE EXTREMELY WELL-ORGANISED FROM THE GET-GO! GREECE’S VANGELIS PAVIDIS WAS UNDOUBTEDLY THE STAR OF THE MATCH, SCORING A BRILLIANT BRACE AT 49 MINS., (AFTER DANCING THROUGH THREE SETS OF ENGLAND LEGS) AND ALSO SCORING THE WINNING GOAL IN EXTRA TIME AT 90 +4 MINS., WITH JUDE BELLINGHAM SCORING A CRACKER IN-BETWEEN-TIMES AT 87 MINS. INTERESTINGLY THOUGH, ENGLAND HAD 64% POSSESSION, WITH 12 SHOTS INCLUDING 2 ON TARGET, AND GREECE ALSO HAD 12 SHOTS, WITH 3 ON TARGET, SO IT WAS AN INTRIGUING MATCH NONETHELESS WITH THIS ALL-STAR BRITISH CAST JUST SEEMINGLY UNAWARE OF THE OBVIOUS TALENTS OF THE GREEK SQUAD. THE GAME CULMINATED IN A 2 – 1 WIN TO GREECE, PROVING THAT ENGLAND JUST HADN’T HAD THEIR WEETABIX YESTERDAY MORNING!
