"Why always Greece?": Τα tweets των ξένων δημοσιογράφων
Η πρόκριση της Εθνικής Ελλάδας στη φάση των 16 του Παγκοσμίου Κυπέλλου 2014 εξελίχθηκε σε αντικείμενο συζήτησης μεταξύ των ξένων δημοσιογράφων.
Άλλοι εξέφρασαν τον θαυμασμό τους ("ελάχιστες ομάδες παίζουν με λιγότερο πάθος όταν έχει σημασία", "παράδειγμα για την Ιταλία"), άλλοι την καλώς εννοούμενη ζήλια ("η Αγγλία απώλεσε την ευκαιρία να... χάσει 1-0 από την Ελλάδα στον 2ο γύρο", "γιατί πάντα η Ελλάδα;"), άλλοι τον αρνητισμό τους ("Μισό, θα έχουμε Κόστα Ρίκα - Ελλάδα στα νοκ άουτ;").

Storica qualificazione agli ottavi per la #Grecia. Quando l'umiltà viene premiata. Un esempio per l'#Italia

Costa Rica/Greece in QF. Absolutely fair play to both BUT... hope it doesn't end up like 2002. Too many surprise teams does take away a bit.

Not sure Ivory Coast deserved to go through, given Greece hit the woodwork three times, but that's a desperate way to go out.

One among Costa Rica and Greece will be in quarters. What the f***

Kinda fancy Greece to do Costa Rica in last 16 too. Probably after extra-time.

Also Samaras was great today, so much better in centre. Massive pressure on that penalty, especially considering his recent scoring record

Greece is the word. Good tournament team. Find a way. Ivory Coast the exact opposite.

There is something very admirable about Greece's propensity to constantly piss off the football world.

Wait, we're going to have Costa Rica vs Greece in the knock-out stage?

Greece advances to its first #WorldCup knockout round on a stoppage-time penalty. Opa.

Same Greece stopped nigeria in 2010.Now they have stopped Ivory Coast.Why always Greece?

In all honesty Ivory Coast didn't deserve to go through, too much chaos. Well done Greece.

So frustrated that England haven't taken the chance to lose 1-0 to Greece in the second round.

Say all you want about Greece's style but few play with more passion when it matters. They'll make it fun in the next round. #GRE

Spain…out.
Italy…out.
England…out.
Greece…in?
Their secret combination, it's mystery for you.
