World Cup omens not good for Greece

Greece have just been beaten 2-0 by Paraguay in the last of their World Cup warm-up matches (see goals above). Greece were poor throughout and conceded two sloppy goals early on. As in the 2-2 draw with North Korea last week, Greece were shocking at the back and Paraguay could have scored at will. Offensively, Greece did create chances, but couldn't convert. Sotiris Ninis, who played right-wing, did well, but was substituted at half-time. I hope Rehhagel has the courage to play him in South Africa. In the three warm-up games Greece has played, they've lost 2-0 to Senegal and Paraguay and drawn 2-2 with North Korea. Senegal, Paraguay and North Korea are very ordinary teams. The matches were played to try and replicate the style Greece will face in its World Cup group, where they've been drawn against Nigeria, Argentina and South Korea, and unless the boys suddenly click I fear we're looking at three defeats for Greece.
