2014 World Cup: Day 3

3rd & 7 37yd

First yellow of the game here as Carlos Sánchez chops down a galloping Giorgos Samaras. Deserved, that.

Pablo Armero is the first West Ham player to score a #WorldCup goal for a country other than England.

Interesting list of West Ham goalscorers at #WorldCup : Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters, Matthew Upson, Pablo Armero.

Samaras was fouled 27 times in UEFA Qualifying, more than any other Greek player.

by ESPNStatsInfo via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:28:24 PM
Close for Greece!

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:28:36 PM
José Cholevas whips in a free kick which Vasileios Torosidis meets in the air, but he can't direct it goalwards. That was a real chance.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:29:12 PM
i like mourinhoism.....

Great effort Greece!

When I said "parking the bus", I wasn't jibing them. Nothing wrong with it. Pre Euro 2004 were they a more attacking side?

by The Brush via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:29:24 PM
Why wasn't the Greek header on target? They've got to convert those.

putting all your junk in the trunk

by Jon M via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:29:28 PM
Seems like a set piece is Greece's only chance of scoring.

by Andy via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:29:32 PM
Parking the bus should be renamed The Jose. So Greece is doing The Jose.

by MLK via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:29:32 PM
Greece scored twice on 35 set pieces in UEFA Qualifying.

"Brick-walling"

Surprise? Attacking Third Touches: COL 35, GRE 38

by ESPNStatsInfo via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:31:13 PM
"The Jose Horse" perhaps for all you ancient lit fans out there.

by Cory via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:31:21 PM
Greece needs more of an offense.

by gg113008 via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:31:21 PM
If we're going the Mourinho route, how about Doing the Special One.

Parking the bus = "Greecing"?

by BostonArsenalFan via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:31:33 PM
@MLK you got it backwards, jose is doing the greece..

by Ricky via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:31:53 PM
Just turned the game on. I assume the goal came after the assistant missed an offside, which resulted in a penalty that was wrongfully awarded, which was scored in some controversial fashion?

by Optimistic Gunner via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:31:57 PM
Stuck at work... Any chance Greece can hang in there today?

by Chubby Greek via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:32:01 PM
keep shooting greece .. eventually u r bound to hit the target....

by Bristolian via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:32:05 PM
Set pieces are the only hope for Greece

by Son of Okocha via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:32:37 PM
Colombia has been drawn back after they scored, by their manager.... i've seen 3 runs he's stopped from players out of the back lines.

by Johansson via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:32:45 PM
Kick and stay

by pale via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:32:49 PM
Shouldn't it be "anchoring the sailboat" though?

by Optimistic Gunner via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:33:37 PM
Fernando Santos says Mitroglou can still have an impact at the World Cup, but it's understandable he's not playing considering he barely played last season.

by Tom Doyle via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:34:09 PM
Nahh not only set pieces, a good dive will do..

by Ricky via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:34:13 PM
Stoke-ing the fire?

by TeistyMazeLittlePassage via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:34:13 PM
Colombia looked clueless on the counter

by Son of Okocha via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:34:17 PM
Another opportunity Greece! What's going on??

by gg113008 via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:34:21 PM
actually praying Greece would score and see how Colombia will react...

by will via ESPN 6/14/2014 4:34:21 PM
cory won that debate with his/her horse reference....
