How can you be up a man half the game and not dominate?

It's a big field, I imagine you could just basically run a formation that calls for 2 guys up front but just have one

Greece isn't a team that can or even wants to attack and dictate game. The way they play, being up a man is of no advantage to them.
The commentator said it best imo, Greece looked uncomfortable with the ball

Be a very average team. Qualify out of a very weak group. Get a very lucky group draw. Luck in to a game with the worst 1st seed. And then shite the bed.

Greece has no offense. They had Samaras basically carrying the team on offense. I really don't understand what they were trying to do tactically. It's like they go into games with no plan and just try to wing it. By far the worst team to reach round of 16.

Their plan is "don't give up a goal." They are awful to watch. It's a boring, uninspired style of play which just makes me sad.

Costa Rica is a very good team, and could have won CONCACAF. I think that they will take it to the Dutch, who were taken to task by Mexico

This. Joel Campbell basically played target man for 60 minutes by himself, I imagine he is having trouble walking today.

Greece did dominate the game per se after going a man up, they just lacked any quality in the final 3rd to score twice.

dude looked dead the last 45 minutes or so of the game. I was scared when he stepped up for the PK.

Japan couldn't do shite against Greece when they were up a man.
