For the first time in their history, Greece walked onto the World Cup stage. Alketas Panagoulias led the squad into the unknown.
It was a tournament to forget for Greece, who left without a single victory to their name. Goals proved hard to come by, with just 0 in 3 matches, and their lack of firepower ultimately told.
Greece found the group stage unforgiving, unable to pick up a single victory against their opponents. Their campaign featured a heavy 0-4 defeat to Argentina, a heavy 0-4 defeat to Bulgaria, and a 0-2 defeat against Nigeria. The World Cup dream ended earlier than hoped, with Greece bowing out in the first round.
