Torontoblue Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 We should have kept Santos. He just led portugal to another title. Portugal's 2nd. Portugal are the inaugural winners of the League of Nations cup. Bravo portugal bravo Santos. What could have been if you stayed in Greece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J1078 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I think he choose to leave if I'm not mistaken... I think they tried to sign him.. He probably knew what was coming with this team when the big dogs like Kar were retiring and probably wanted no part of it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Guys, I don't what game you guys were watching but Italy didn't play that well we just played awful... I'd rather lose in a game where our players play in their respective positions than the tinkering we saw out there... EPO conspiracy? lol Edited June 10, 2019 by jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played well and efficiently in the first half. 2nd half with the score 3-0 of course, who would wanna risk an unintended injury when the 3 points are already in their pockets. Also fair play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 THink about what you just said... almost every shot was a goal... not a good reflection on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean97 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Italy like a normal team should. They weren’t anything spectacular. They did the simple things right. We couldn’t even hold the ball. Some of our players first touch is atrocious. Even Fortounis is delayed by 1 second. He had a player open on the right one stage and instead of giving it like a normal person would he held onto the ball and made life harder. Samaras 2.0??

Brklyngrk Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 All the Italian sites were saying that this was the best half they played in years. Truth of the matter was, the first 20 minutes or so, they couldn't penetrate and were trying long balls in. The 1st goal was set up bc Samaris missed his marker, the next two were counters were speed matters. We are too slow and cannot afford to give away these goals. But like you guys said, getting a result, regardless of the score, was going to be tough. So 1-0 or 3-0, same result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaoOle Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I find this strange but, imo, explains a lot. Samaris: "I can not understand why there is so much pressure" http://www.gazzetta.gr/football/euro-2020/article/1364111/samaris-den-mporo-na-katalavo-giati-yparhei-tosi-piesi ... At the same time, he said he can not understand why there is pressure and only three games have passed in the Euro qualifier group. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The corrupt EPO at that time decided to get rid of Santos for some unknown reason. They were making his life miserable while he was leading the national team to our second best showing in international competition in the World Cup. They even refused to let him return back to Greece with the team after the competition pretty much telling him they did not want him on the team. That was the beginning of the NT downfall, which included disasters such as losses to team like Feroe Islands, etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellada2004 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 According to a few Greek media outlets Anastasiadis job is in jeporady if Greece don't get a win vs Armenia and the EPO has approached Ange Postecoglou about the coaching job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bakashitas is so f'n garbage I never wanna see that mf anywhere near the team again. Samaris needs to be sat down for a bit. If you have zeca out there, you don't need Samaris as well. Can these mf coaches just put 2 actual wingers on at once?! Whys it always 1 winger and one cm out of position. Are these bozos on f'n crack?! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsots Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Santos was a fuk'n knob too Never giving any young guy a chance. It took him 3 games to realize samaras could play st. Then when we could have beaten CR he decides to bring on katsouranis and make the game a retirement tour instead of getting on another am or winger which would have been the difference since holebas and lazaros were slicing through they're d which also led to the red CR got. He also started an injured karnezis against IC and had to waste a sub on him early. Then he played him still injured against CR which severely cost as well. Ya he won a euro cup, but he also has the best player in the world on that team, and don't think for a second that Ronaldo doesn't get a say in call ups and tactics ect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Kastouranis, Samaras, Karagounis, Salpingidis, Gekas. Huge hole was left that campaign. The last euro we were okay. We gave Belgium a run for their money and they were top 4 and got knocked by Croatia who was in the final. The other tournys were we qualified we got in by 2nd and knock out rounds to Ukraine and Romania. A lot of things lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbxk508 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) Wow, Bakasetas starting. He was a disaster in Lietchtenstein. No form, no confidence. Maybe this match will change his luck. Is there other option? He should be calling up Lamprou, Limnios and Torosides. Can you do that? Next match is serious. Coach’s ass is on the line. Can you imagine if Armenia score 2 in the first half. Edited June 11, 2019 by kbxk508 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
