Euro2004 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 This is a huge game for us. If we win this we're favourites to top the group, anything less and Croatia are favourites. Personally i see a draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akritis_1944 Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Israel coach has come and said that they will come out to attack. This is no hollow threat. If we can withstand their attacks and play intelligent and creatively then we can get a great result against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahalkeas Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Does anyone know which Greek station the Greece Israel game will be shown in Greece? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 The game will not be broadcast in Greece - according this this newsbit. For those that don't read Greek, it is -according to MEGA - because of the prohibitively high cost (650K euro) and the time of day (early afternoon not being a good time).

tihio10 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 The man they need to watch out for is Benayoun....keep him pressured and everything should be fine. Israel is missing Sahar and Barda for the game against Greece, Barda already scored a goal against Latvia. We're in trouble if Greece were to lose this game.

Personally i think we need to win. Croatia are a good team and I think they will win 3 of their last 4 (beating israel and latvia at home and Malta away). That leaves the one big game in Greece. If we beat Israel and Latvia away that will leave them in a position where they have to win in Greece. That makes us favourites. But if we have to beat them in Greece, then go to Georgia needing a win too I think it will be too big a mountain to climb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pao123 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 i agree, especially about the georgia part...they have proven a tall order this qualifier so far and will be difficult at home, especially with the extra pressure on our backs.. fact is if we win tomorrow we will ease alot of the pressure off for the last 3 matchdays..either way, anything can happen and we need to stay composed, going through another playoff could be hell so we need to wrap it up, ideally we win the rest of them :D :gr: i believe the croats are generally a better team than us, but that doesnt mean we cant squeeze through on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcp Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Best of luck to our NT today, I hope they bring forth heart, and stay focused for a victory. I saw in the lineup Karagouni's name once again, is there no viable replacement that Santos can utilize? Why then drop Xaristeas? :LOL: :LOL: :LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro2004 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Israel looked really pumped during their national anthem! I just can't see how our slow central midfield will compete but let's hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro2004 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Their defence is there for the taking. They seem particularly susceptible to diagonal crosses into the box. Samaras and Salpi have made poor decisions but with a bit more urgency and better decision making in the final 3rd we can win this comfortably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
