After the failure, the social media was alight with harsh criticism by Greek fans expressing their views about the poor performance. In the first semi-finals, the Russian entry caught the fan’s attention and passed through with another 9 counties: Azerbaijan, Russia, Holland, Hungary, Croatia, Austria, Armenia, Czech Republic, Cyprus and Malta. The second semi-finals will be held Thursday, while the final will take place Saturday.
