I wish to be sure I understand this master plan you say the Greek NT staff employed today.
You are claiming that the Greek NT staff looked at the current standings in the other group and calculated the most likely outcome of the remaining six games to yield final standings with the Spanish NT in 4th place.
With Spain likely to finish 4th, the Greek NT staff wished to avoid a quarterfinal matchup with Spain, preferring to meet them later in the tournament. To accomplish this, Greece did not want to finish first in their own group and lost to Russia intentionally in order to accomplish this goal.
Is that correct? Greece wished to avoid finishing first in their own group in order to avoid a quarterfinal game against Spain?
Please confirm that I have accurately summarized the plan you say the Greek NT has followed.
