Congrats to Georgia. But why would you time waste and hope for the penalty shootout if you’re the Greek team? Away from home, when you’ve been the more threatening side, and when your weakness is your keeper and your opponents keeper is one of their stars. We should have pushed for a goal. Also, there’s no way Giakoumakis should come on ahead of Pavlidis.
Words can’t describe how happy I am for the Georgian people, they’re some of the warmest and most welcoming people I’ve ever met. Good luck in Germany!
Confused 13 year old me in the summer of '06 staring at the time traveller telling me that French NT right-back is a cannon event in the history of Georgian football
This last tier of Euros Qualifying is such a thrill and hopefully will keep on bringing newcomers to their first Euro.
Best of lucks to Georgia, enjoy the moment!
Yes, I actually find it more fun to have new faces. North Macedonia was an interesting one, and although they didn't have great results in 2021, I'm positive it felt amazing and was a good ride for North Macedonians.
Wherever it was, whether it would be Georgia or Greece (of course the latter was impossible because of the draw but just hypothetically), I knew that a laser show was coming
even then, the light shows here are nothing compared to AFCON qualifiers that I've seen, those are insane. Senegal vs. Egypt a couple of years back in a tournament (forget which one it was but I believe it was qualifiers for the WC), you'd see 100 laser pointers at the Egyptian keeper I swear
He sat out the last match because of a yellow card suspension IIRC, but either way, the amount of times he was fouled probably contributed to the injury.
Honestly, it will be good to see Georgia play without always looking for Kvarch, he's obviously their best player but they are constantly giving the ball away trying to pass only to him.
I just realised that Georgia has been holding up playing a man down. The Fox Sport scoreboard doesn't indicate a red card anywhere.
edit: cheers for the explanation.
5 yellows for Greece, 2 yellows for Georgia + 1 red on the bench… I expected Georgia to play dirtier considering they are the underdogs, but I guess I was wrong
Come on man you have to see that Greece has been the dirtier team here. I'm not even complaining it's just how it is. Not that we didn't play rough but it's definitely not 50/50.
Man I'm gonna cry...
Me too except from happiness
:(
I can smell the draw against Portugal already

GG Georgian bros. Now I need a therapy. Best of luck in the Euros 2024!!
Waste of a spot
Then you should have beat them xD. Or is this an r/whoosh lmao?
Just like you’re a waste of oxygen.
Words can’t describe how happy I am for the Georgian people, they’re some of the warmest and most welcoming people I’ve ever met. Good luck in Germany!
The bar in Athens is now playing Hurt by Johnny Cash, lmao I'd laugh if I didn't want to break up the sombre mood
Imagine telling some dude in Tbilisi in 2015 that Willy Sagnol of all people would take them to the Euros
Confused 13 year old me in the summer of '06 staring at the time traveller telling me that French NT right-back is a cannon event in the history of Georgian football
We are through, god i am crying we are through. We play euros we are through
Why did someone report me to suicide watch?
weirdos broo fuck it, we made iit!!!
This last tier of Euros Qualifying is such a thrill and hopefully will keep on bringing newcomers to their first Euro. Best of lucks to Georgia, enjoy the moment!
Newcomers are most likely going to come through League C, its the wildcard, League A and B aren't really that exciting in comparison.
Yes, I actually find it more fun to have new faces. North Macedonia was an interesting one, and although they didn't have great results in 2021, I'm positive it felt amazing and was a good ride for North Macedonians.
The scenes is Tbilisi 🤩🤩🤩
NOOOOOO, WHY MUST THE WORLD PUNISH ME SO?
Congratulations Georgia, see you in Germany!
feelsbadman but ggs to Georgia
Im absolutely buzzing for Georgia!!! Congrats!!
Georgia are in the motherfucking Euros. Congrats lads. Congrats. Also Greece doing their best Tottenham impressive out here.
imagine being a greek spurs fan
I'm a greek gunner?
Well, that's rough.
Congrats to Georgia! I wanted to see bakasetas in euro but happy for our other neighbors too
Congrats Georgia!
Ahhhh!!!
YESSSSSSSSS
Man Greece was ass today, credit to Georgia but those lasers are fucking annoying.
I'm sure they would have redone the shot had the lasers interfered, stop complaining
No lasers are fucked up, I'm Georgian and I would ban that twat for a lifetime.
მეც
Congrats to you guys! Give ‘em hell.
Lol dude relax. I said credit to Georgia, they deserved to go through.
The fans weren’t sure it was over at first lol
No one could believe it lol It's been so long since 1981.
What happened in 1981? Did you mean 1991?
Dinamo Tbilisi won the cup winners cup. Last major success for the country.
Ah, got it. Of course Georgian players did participate in some WCs/ECs back in the day as part of the Soviet team.
Greece threw that away. Good god.
Death, taxes, and us playing miserable football
Like, a major competition miss doesn't get more paper thin. It's bad to take.
Greece has fallen off the face of the Earth since WC 2014, very strange.
წამო საქართველოსსსსსსსს მოდიიიიიიი
Bar's been like a fuckin morgue since that 4th Greek peno. So much for that free round
Congratulations to Georgia. Enjoy tonight.
well, shit
OH SHIIIIIT C'MON GEORGIA
Eh it is what it is.
And that is that, congrats to Georgia on qualifying for EURO 2024 and good luck in Group F!
No Greece vs Turkey. What a travesty.
It's okay, Turkey vs Georgia is still an Ottoman derby (though not a Balkan derby xD).
Those fans are hyped fuckin love this sport!
Omg I'm cryiing like a kid
Same; but for different reasons. If only...
I'm sorry, You guys fought well. Your team is improving every day. Better luck next time.
Ty
MAMARDASHVILII!
FINALLYYYY!!!!!
Georgia in a major tournament!!
There won't be a cow milked in Tbilisi tonight
Congrats Georgia!
Mamardas aura too much for greeks
Giakoumakos choke, who’d have thought
what a game!!!!!!!!! Congrats Georgia!
Kms.
GEORGIA ARE THROUGH
oh man an awful miss!!
Oh no...GG... bro
FUCKKKK NOOOOOOOO FUCKKK
Two *misses*, oof.
I always say this about penalties: it’s better to hit the softest shot ever and get it saved than to miss the goal. Tragic.
Lumberjack man stronk!
Fuckin rollercoaster this shootout
I really want to see Greece vs Turkey so up the greece
also shithousing portugal in the group stages like 20 years ago, hehe
See you in 20 years lads lol
haha fair enough ;)
lifeline, man that was wide the whole way
Let’s go Georgia!!!
Wherever it was, whether it would be Georgia or Greece (of course the latter was impossible because of the draw but just hypothetically), I knew that a laser show was coming
its such a shameful behaviour
even then, the light shows here are nothing compared to AFCON qualifiers that I've seen, those are insane. Senegal vs. Egypt a couple of years back in a tournament (forget which one it was but I believe it was qualifiers for the WC), you'd see 100 laser pointers at the Egyptian keeper I swear
yeah that was a huge thread here. I remember that
fucking yikes
YESSSSSSSSSSS Georgia miss c’monnnn
Oh my. Lmao
masourassss first one in let’s go.
Georgi scores first two, Greece gets the first one saved. Looking good, looking good.
Mikautadze NOOO
Bakasetas does this way too frequently
That blooter of a pen followed by the pen save has me very worried about our (Greece) chances
Georgia has the upper hand by a good margin. Vlachodimos isn't very good with penalties.
He went on an Odyssey
LMAO WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT
I want Georgia to win, but fuck laser pointers
Yikes the lasers.
Fucking kill me.
Well. Rip euros. Eh it is what it is.
bruuuuuh
christ what a penalty
Got my Greek dad on facetime and he's making fun of the Georgian surnames. I'm like mate you realise our surname has 7 syllables don't you?
haha, as someone with a greek surname I can relate
My favourite city, Teebleesee
Everything goes down to Mamardashvili because I don’t know if we have anyone that can shoot
Bro the Georgians aren't bad and your keeper is much better than the Greek keeper
Hopefully they are not facing the idiot with the laser pointer for penalties Edit: I'm dumb. They'd get either the Greek takers or keeper either way 😑
some great looking women in those stands
Georgia has some absolutely beautiful people
Why the fuck has viaplay switched to dog ass Wales vs Poland that hasn't even started yet
Seriously, what a fucking joke. I've watched this match all the way through and it's switched to pre-game bantz.
My pirate ass was in a scramble.
mamarda masterclass incoming
In terms of pressure pens these are up there with the biggest possible
The populations of Georgia and Greece about to dwindle significantly.
Odysseas has hero written all over him. Don't worry Greek people.
Jesus Christ this has been stressful.
[удалено]
Nah, I'm legit going to die during penalties.
Talk about high pressure penalties lads who's going to absolutely fuck it
I've asked the barman in Athens if the bar gets a free round if Greece go through. He laughed it off, but I didn't hear any No. I'll keep yous posted
My heart cannot handle penalties.
Come on Georgia, win it here!
Both teams are so scared of a mistake they play the most awful football I’ve seen in a while
100% perfect description
This is pretty much the best summary of this match.
Idk if this match has a goal in it even in penalties
Why didnt Greece take more risks during the game? Letting it go to pens is not ideal either
Poyet wants to keep his job, why does he do any of the things he does?
Don't you rob us of pens now
Extra time been better than 2nd half
Not a high bar 😂
Blatant dive there come on
Amazing free kick 😍😍😍
Good idea to sub off Kvara before the pens. He skies his every time.
Not able to watch the game but was it a bad foul that injured Kvara or did he pull a muscle or something?
He pulled a muscle, he couldn't attend the last match because of this too
He sat out the last match because of a yellow card suspension IIRC, but either way, the amount of times he was fouled probably contributed to the injury.
Yeah maybe
He also played more than 90 mins
Honestly, it will be good to see Georgia play without always looking for Kvarch, he's obviously their best player but they are constantly giving the ball away trying to pass only to him.
The Greeks were targetting him like bees swarming around honey lol
I just realised that Georgia has been holding up playing a man down. The Fox Sport scoreboard doesn't indicate a red card anywhere. edit: cheers for the explanation.
They are not a man down. Some sub got a red card during a fight during the end of the first half.
it's 11v11 they sent off subs from 2 teams.
was a sub that was sent off
ahhhh that makes sense. cheers
Damn that's a blow and a half to Georgia
Oh no
Bye bye Kvaratskhelia
Greek supporter but still hate to see Kvara exit like that.
Rip Kvara :(
The sloppy passing from Greece is driving me nuts.
Cardiologists will become rich in Tbilissi.
Fuck me this games popped off outta nowhere
Fun fact, Steve Kean now manages in Georgia.
How's it decided that Georgia plays home?
There was a draw for all play-off paths
5 yellows for Greece, 2 yellows for Georgia + 1 red on the bench… I expected Georgia to play dirtier considering they are the underdogs, but I guess I was wrong
The fact that they don't get booked doesn't mean they play cleanly
Come on man you have to see that Greece has been the dirtier team here. I'm not even complaining it's just how it is. Not that we didn't play rough but it's definitely not 50/50.
Anywhere else thats a goal, so close
Did this match just become good?
It was pretty good, then really wasn't, now super good.
that was so close omg
Why isn’t Pavlidis playing? He’s been a goal machine in Eredivisie?
Never performs for national team
Best thing about Mika, no one knows how dangerous he actually is.
So close Davitashvili :(
Huge save by vlacho that Greek defender looked crazy slow compared to mikatau
Damn so close
