Pre-Match Thoughts
Going to be short, this. I know zilch about both teams. It's Colombia's first time in the finals since 1998, when even England managed to beat them 2-0, a match immortalised in song by Kirsty MacColl.
Greece are tournament veterans these days, their taking of the Euro Championships ten years ago being the biggest shock in my lifetime watching international football. Their style then and ever since (that I've seen) seems to be around defending in numbers and trying to hit on the break.
That's all I can think of to say. Predictions? Umm... 1-0 to Colombia.
Drink?
Not just now, thanks.
First Half
Of course, the problem when you set out to not concede is that when you do, and in the first few minutes, your whole game plan is shot to fuck. It's taken Greece till 44 minutes to test the opposition keeper and Colombia will feel they should have more than just the one.
Full marks to the Colombian fans, who are certainly giving their team some top support.
Second Half
Greece never really offered too much, though they screwed up a good chance, smacking it against the bar from a few yards out. Colombia took their time and made it two when a duff corner somehow found it's way to the back post, for the striker to slam home.
With Greek low on gas, a third went past them when a Colombian slyly took a quick free kick, the move leading to a smart finish.
Result
Colombia win 3-0. My predictions are turning out to be fucking shite.
Needless Confession
I have a thing for women with red hair.
