NT Friendly Games

Skibbe got it all wrong vs Croatia after FIFA screwed us by suspending Manolas, he went with Maniatis at the back were he was completely out of position and was exposed by Perisic on one goal. He also started Tziolis again who is way to slow to match up with the Croatian midfield. Skibbe continues with Tziolis and makes him captain in the last friendly vs Saudis, why? Skibbe must go if he starts off Nations league with poor results and with the same player selections.

Does anybody know why Greece - Iran match was cancelled? 

word in the papers was EPO pulled out because they were worried about ongoing friction between the Greek and Turkish governments

Why, when everyone is playing friendlies right now did we only schedule the one game in Turkey on top of that?? 

This is why Grammenos as president of EPO is just useless dunno how he’s still in that role. We have to be one of the few countries (ironically with Cyprus) who don’t have any other friendlies for the rest of the year...

If the Iranians are to offended to play in Athens because of our billboards that show alcohol and anything else that might offend their idiotic believes then i say F..k them go arrange a match with another Muslim country... The Epo is absoloutley sleeping when it comes to scheduling matches.. We desperately need more practise time to figure some s%$#! out. We should have had a couple more friendlies this month as our last two were wasted by the German bench boss.

I believe we did play Greece  and Spain in friendlies in Greece a few years back and no one showed up.  We played the Netherlands last year.  So we have played them but we haven't build on them and in Greece, attendance is terrible...

If the player's mind is on vacation in Santorini or Mykonos it makes no difference who we play. Even the last three scheduled friendlies were against teams that are better than us. They were all teams that made the World Cup and we didn't. 

Nations Cup's purpose is to replace the friendly games anyway. We'll probably play one more low level friendly game before that stupid tournament starts.

Greece right now need all the help they can get so if the nations league gives us another shot I'm all for it, chances are we will be the 3rd best team in our group for the euro qualifiers so we need this nations league plus it makes the games more meaningful then friendlies...

Those teams actually have good attendances at home. And it’s probably a lot safer to go watch a game there with your family. There’s a lot of morons in Greece that ruin it for people who actually love the game.

Big countries want to get paid to play games. EPO can't afford to pay big money to play countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Germany, etc. And with the invention of the Nations Cup UEFA wants to eliminate friendly games anyway.

Our focus should be to get a decent coach and start re-building the NT with young players and eliminate all the agents controlling the national team for their benefit.
