On the road to Estonia

Is it possible that Barbados NT will play in XXIV World Cup in Estonia?

Probably not, but one thing is for sure... Bajan Stars will try to show their character during every second of every match this WCq.

Barbados willl play in group 14 against Sweden (10 medals in World Cup), Norway (4 medals), Greece (2 medals), Cuba, Suriname, Croatia and South Africa. As you can see this group is not easy...

...nevertheless, I believe that Barbados should fight for finals and good results, but they can't forget about the future.

Please remember that 10-14 seasons ago Barbados had only 20-25 teams, so:
- a lot of our "old" players (+27) are not good enough for NT (lower primary skill and/or secondary skills);
- young talents (21-27) need time to develop skills and experience;
- generally, we don't have a lot of players = problem with specialities.

Tomorrow we have to forget about it, because Barbados NT will play with higher-ranked Greece NT in the opening match of World Cup qualification for the Hattrick World Cup XXIV in Estonia.

We don't know how a trip to Chemist.gr Arena will end for Barbados, but we have time to read preview of match Piratiko vs Bajan Tridents.

About Greece

The Greek national football team (Greek: Εθνική Ελλάδος, Ethniki Ellados) represents Greece in association football and is controlled by the Hellenic Football Federation, the governing body for football in Greece. Greece's home ground is Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus. Greece is a competitive national team in European football, being one of only nine national teams to have won the UEFA European Championship.

The UEFA Euro 2004 marked a high point in Greece's football history when they were crowned European champions, in only their second participation in the tournament, against all the odds. The Greeks, dismissed as rank outsiders before the tournament, defeated some of the favourites in the competition including defending European champions France and hosts Portugal, with Greece beating the latter in both the opening game of the tournament and again in the final. Their triumph also gave them a qualification for the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup.

Since that victory Greece have qualified for the final tournament of all but one major competition entered, reaching the quarter-finals at the UEFA Euro 2012 and the round of 16 at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
