Michalis Sifakis in goals for K.V. Kortrijk for a 2nd consecutive match away to Standard Liege. The match finished 1-1 with both goals scored by Greek internationals Thanasis Papazoglou for K.V. Kortrijk in the 12th minute & Giannis Maniatis from the penalty spot for Standard Liege in the 31st minute.

I haven't seen much of Papazoglou whom must be a late bloomer & the reason for getting his 1st cap at the age of 28 years of age. Maniatis might not be the most skillful & not good on PlayStation but in reality he is very important to a team. At Euro 2012 he was clocked at as covering the most distance of any player in the tournament per match. He is fearless in not taking a backward step in the midfield turning 50/50 challenges towards his team & therefore more possession for his more creative & attacking players whom if you have played appreciate these hardworking defensive midfielders. People whom don't understand the tactical side of football & recognize that at Brazil 2014 Maniatis slotted into right back for cover when Torosidis went forward & left back when Holebas went forward knowing if they lost the ball the therio had their position covered, working well with Samaris whom would slide into the middle. Watching recent matches like the loss to Iceland & many other recently Greece would dominate possession & when ever the opposition got the ball they would go through the midfield like they won't there. The Greek defense got no protection from the midfield at all. It was a rizili! Tachtsidis looked very good & creative in the midfield but seemed to get into Fortounis way trying to compete with him as the number 10 playmaker of the team rather than doing the job he was selected to do of a defensive midfielder. He leaves Samaris on his own & doesn't want to ruin his hair in 50/50 challenges but just walks around lost when defending. Tachtsidis & some others seem to be playing for themselves, trying to impress agents. Maniatis is a team playing doing all the dirty, unpopular duties which are unnoticed by most football fans but are appreciated by team mates.
