I dont have much of an interest in the Greek team or give them much hope but I guess they have a shot at getting out of the group. But my girlfriend is Greek so I think I might have to give them a little support. Being a big fan of Celtic I will be looking forward to watching Samaras and hope he does well even though he doesnt look like he will have much of a future at Celtic Park.
