With this match pretty much being a friendly, manager Otto Rehhagel has taken the opportunity to call up some new faces such as Evangelos Mantzios of Panthinaikos. Mantzios had not represented Greece since this past February. Among the players not with the squad are Paraskevas Antzas and Angelos Charisteas as they are both recovering from injury. A good performance by Mantzios in this match could earn him another call up in the future an possibly as spot on the side that will play in 2008. You can watch Euro 2008 live online at www.oleolefootball.com .
