No surprises from Rehhagel. Seven of the squad were in the starting line-up for the Euro 2004 final v Portugal. He does like to play safe although the qualifying games showed that he is not afraid to use 3 men up front when the occasion demands. Greece always look a better team when they do have 3 up front.

I'm not surprised by the 9 defenders. In all likelihood they are going to play 5-4-1 or 4-5-1. And who could argue with them? They won it all 4 years ago playing that way.

Either way, they only brought five midfielders, and it just seems foolish that they didn't bring a couple more considering they're going to use either four or all of them at the same time. That gives them almost nothing in reserve, and midfielders are typically the ones who need to be substituted in games the most because they exert the most energy.
