    Interestingly they look lighter than the Portuguese squad, quite a bit of robust alpine influence and some Brunn

    Several of them look very Greek to me, especially these three:


    The third one even looks like Georgios Tzavellas' long-lost brother.

    Yeah though the one on the left looks a bit brachy for Greek, oddly more of them seem to pass unoticed in the UK than the Romanian ones.

    I wouldn't go that far. Moreover, Georgia IMHO is one of the few countries that subverts the European/Middle Eastern divide, since they look like a roughly equal mix of both.
