Greece lost the match, also lost the possibility of promotion. Conservative tactical, unsuccessful preparation, it can be said that Greece was defeated in their own hands. Greece's tactical in the match is fully to observe to keep level, if they can succeed in attack, it is better, and they can with the hope that at other game Nigeria win South Korea. As a tactical master, Rehhagel knows well of the weakness of Argentina, so he sent the full player to guard Messi, and tried to strangle Argentina's attack firepower.
Greece's strategy is a failure, lost their face. After the clean sheet, Greece also wanted to regain a score from attack. However, on one hand their strength is poor and powerless, on the other hand their physical condition is bad, the offensive team can not go on, even after when he lose the ball at the local place, he did not have effort to seize the ball.
In this world cup, the weak physical of Greece is surprising. First game when they against South Korea, they only ran 20 minutes and began to stand to play, it is very normal that they lost to South Korea. This fully shows that Greece is not preparing for the physical reserves of match.
In contrast, Argentina only reserve team appearances, is still win by two goals, which prove their strength. However, the hard first 77 minutes wake-up the call for them too. Once the other teams use the same tactics as Greece, looking focus on Messi, Argentina lost the offensive pivot of the team and find out how to against the enemy will be a serious problem Maradona must face.
