The Greek national team has been struggling to qualify for a major tournament. Last year, their chances were slim from the start, as they were drawn in a group with the Netherlands and France, eventually finishing third. Finland had an easier group, but it was Slovenia who performed well, tying with Denmark on points (22 each). The Finns lagged behind by four points, narrowly beating Kazakhstan based on tiebreakers.
Gus Poyet and his squad fought until the last moment for a ticket to the Euros. In the spring, they defeated Kazakhstan in a playoff, winning 5-0, but lost the decisive match in Tbilisi, where Mamardashvili won the penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw. Finland's fate was sealed earlier, as they were knocked out by Wales in their first playoff match.
In June, Greece lost to Germany and defeated Malta without Poyet. Now, their coach is Ivan Jovanović, the former Panathinaikos manager. As a result, eight players, including Kourbelis and Limnios, were left out of the squad.
