***Official Greece v Nigeria Thread***

v 
Group B
Free state stadium
Bloemfontein
Kick off:15:00[/center]
Team news
Taye Taiwo is poised to start at left back for Lars Lagerback's side, despite stubbing his toe in Nigeria's opener.
Lagerback may also recall winger Peter Odemwingie to the starting line-up after bringing him on to good effect against Argentina, but he has no further injury worries ahead of a game that will see one side almost certain to make their exit should they be defeated.
Greece boss Rehhagel looks set to recall Liverpool centre back Sotirios Kyrgiakos to the side after he was surprisingly omitted from their defeat to South Korea.
The Greeks' poor defending from set pieces appears to have been a catalyst for the Reds stopper's return, while fellow defender Vangelis Moras is available after recovering from a knock.
Whether the German coach will make any further changes to shake up his lacklustre side following their drab performance is unknown, but Dimitrios Salpingidis could gain a starting berth after impressing in the second half of their opening game.
