Torosidis eyes quarter-final spot

Greece defender Vasilis Torosidis has claimed that the team is not satisfied by reaching the last 16 of the World Cup for the first time in their history.

The Greeks, who play Costa Rica tonight (Sunday), advanced with a last-gasp win over Ivory Coast last week.

Despite the team's best ever showing at a World Cup, Torosidis is eager for them to go even further in the coming weeks.

"It's the first time ever we've qualified for the last 16," he told FIFA.com. "Our achievement has given lot of joy to people back home, but we're not ready to stop here."

Torosidis has scored six goals in 66 appearances for Greece since he made his debut back in 2007.
