Greece captain Georgios Karagounis eyes place in second round

Greece captain Georgios Karagounis reveals that he is eager to guide the team to the second round of the World Cup.

Greece captain Georgios Karagounis has revealed that he is eager to get past the group stage at the World Cup.

The former European champions play their opening game of the tournament on Saturday when they meet Colombia in Belo Horizonte.

Greece have never reached the second round of the World Cup, but Karagounis is keen to change that this time around in Brazil.

"Our main goal is to make it to the knockout rounds, which is something we have never done before," he told FIFA.com. "In order to do this, we have to take each game as it comes.

"The most important game for us is against Colombia. This is our first game and they are a dangerous team."

Karagounis is Greece's most-capped player having made 135 appearances for the national team.
