CF NIKOLAIDIS
Substitutions: Lakis for Nikolaidis (60 mn) and Tsiartas for Basinas (84 mn)
Notes: Kapsis and Seitaridis were tasked to man mark France' strikers, so they weren't always on the positions displayed on the formation
As the game progressed, Charisteas seemed to start operating more on the right wing, while Karagounis also seemed to press/move more on the left wing, almost giving a "4-3-3/4-5-1" feeling to Greece's formation
Lakis played as RWF/right SS/CF, this moved Charisteas as central CF
