Omonoia9 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Cyprus closes out its home schedule at home to Bulgaria. Bulgaria, who retain slim hopes at 2nd in Group 8, will be all in. Throughout the campaign, Cyprus has hopped between Larnaca and Lefkosia, and this one will be at Stadio Antonis Papadopoulos in Larnaca. Join me for discussion as this comes immediately before the pivotal Greece game in Athens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why couldn't they be as clinical as this in previous games? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george21 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Megali niki tis Kiprou mas, brilliant performance from Cyprus, sometimes I think they can play better than Greece. Here's highlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irlandos Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I remember a time when this would've been unthinkable! :o Bravo to Cyprus where we see what some organisation and hard work can do... even with ethnic Greek players! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are incapable of defending. The success has been achieved by playing positive attacking football with short passes in midfield, fast wingers and 2 dangerous forwards, which makes the progress even more remarkable. Overall I'm disappointed though. Cyprus deserved 4 points against Ireland and ended up with 0, deserved 3 points against Italy and lost, etc. The team underachieved in this campaign which is disappointing because it was a weak group.

Irlandos Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It's good that we're seeing Cypriot football in this light and are expecting more from our players. Btw, which of the Cypriot players could make it in Italy, Spain or Germany? None of them made it in mainland Greece! That's what I mean by organisation: they play football correctly, they each know where their teammates are, they know what to do in certain situations and they don't fear names. Furthermore, they are a unit. Can you say that about the Elladites??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
