Greece (3rd in their pool) drew 2-2 with France in their final Euros qualifying group game. Pretty strong looking French team, though Mbappé (2-1 Greece) came off the pine.

So in hindsight Greece were definitely a step up from Ireland 2nd string (10 changes from their game against Holland). The Greeks had 5 starters against the French, who also also started against the AWs.
Euros qualifying playoffs. Greeks will host Kazakhstan next April, and then play the winner of Georgia verus Luxembourg, to see who makes the Euros. They will fancy their chances.
