FT Greece [2 - 2] Italy 19' [1 - 0] A. Petropoulos 62' [1 - 1] Rossi 81' [1 - 2] D. Dessena 89' [2 - 2] K. Mitroglou THE U-21 Team tied Italy which is a good result i think!!!! The group looks like this...... -----Group 1 Pld W D L GF GA Pts ----------Italy 5 4 1 0 11 3 13 -------Greece 5 3 1 1 12 6 10 -------Croatia 5 3 0 2 8 7 9 -------Albania 4 2 0 2 2 5 6 Faroe Islands 5 1 0 4 2 7 3 ---Azerbaijan 4 0 0 4 3 10 0

I agree completely. But the motivation they get is that their players are being paid millions more so they are expected to perfom :LOL: :LOL:

very awful loss this shows how NBA differs from eurobasket. Not that NBA is better, but their speed is quicker and more points are scored instead of slowing down the game like euo teams tend to do.

sorry but your wrong, Kovacevic is turning 57 next week :LOL: :LOL:

actually sir.. the lemon was green and now its yellow. it tastes pretty sweet though but golden it is not, at least not yet. :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

I think he has built the attack more and not looking at the defence as much. The defence is good but its no Ferdinand yet. I think one injury of the starting 11 will ruin are hopes for any more points in the CL. Domi is a very reliable defender midfielder and i think the defence has improved. the 4-5-1 expects lua lua to perform tri'ples which i dont think he has mastered yet. Galletti and djole are key to success from the corners. I think Lemonis is an ok coach but he has very good players to work with so he pretty much got lucky

good job re omg bravo paidi mou ( even though im a few yrs younger :LOL: :LOL:

:tup: :tup: :tup: :tup: GEKAASSS!!!!!!!!! Helps me get my mind of the fires in greece :(

Where did this guy come from i have never heard of him??

He might not be a starter at Villareal just yet I dont think, but i think hes very close to be good enough to start for Villareal BUT thats if he gets traded :tup:

FANI!!!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!

We might see samaras in the FA Cup rounds !!

Marcos Baghdatis was joined by his father, brother, extended family and friends at the Australian Open. They can all go home early. His celebrated run to the final last year included upsets of three top 10 players. But Baghdatis crashed out in the second round Wednesday, losing 7-6 (5), 6-2, 2-6, 6-0 to Gael Monfils of France. Baghdatis lamented that he had too many hangers-on this time. Only his coach Guillaume Payre and girlfriend were in the stands last year when he won his six matches at Melbourne Park before losing to Roger Federer in the final. "There's a lot of pressure -- not by media or stuff, it's more like my group," Baghdatis said after his four-set, first-round win over Rainer Schuettler. "I feel a bit of pressure from them. I'm not myself." Things didn't get any better Wednesday for the 21-year-old Cypriot. "I wasn't here, I wasn't in the match," Baghdatis said. "Everything went so fast, I couldn't control anything. I tried to fight, to find a way, but nothing was working." The stadium was packed, and the closed roof made the vocal fans even louder. Pockets of Baghdatis supporters in the blue-and-white Greek colors waved Cypriot flags, chanted, danced and clapped between every point. Monfils got caught up in the moment, too. A comment from one fan had him laughing so hard as he served at 5-6 that he had to back off briefly to regain his composure. He won the point, then fired an ace to force the tiebreaker. The unshaven Baghdatis, with his usual ponytail held back by a bandanna, pumped his fist when he won the third set. He turned to his fans, and it looked like the magic might be back, especially when Monfils hobbled gingerly with a left-foot injury and didn't make a move for Baghdatis' set-point ace. The 20-year-old Monfils took a medical timeout and received treatment from a trainer. Once he came back, he ran off the next six games without any apparent hindrance. "He deserves it," Baghdatis said. "Gael played a great match. He was very aggressive, playing deep all the time. I couldn't find a solution." When asked about Monfils' quick recovery from the injury, Baghdatis said: "I don't want to judge anybody, he can do what he wants." Monfils, who plays good friend and Frenchman Richard Gasquet in the next round, said his victory over Baghdatis was "magic." "Step by step, only one match," Monfils said when asked if he could replicate Baghdatis' performance of last year. "Maybe it's a big win, but I have to do more now." Baghdatis, who came into last year's Australian Open ranked 56th and is now 11th, admitted he had trouble coping with the pressure of his improved ranking. "I'm the guy to beat, it's not easy," Baghdatis said. "It's not the same pressure as before. I have to get used to it." As he packed up to leave Melbourne Park -- 10 days earlier than he did last year -- he was philosophical. "It's a positive," he said. "There are more important things in life (than) losing a tennis match." :( :( :( :(
