Hadzidiakos and Giannoulis will start today's game game against Holland on the bench.

It's been a long time since he played a competitive game. Let's see tomorrow if he is ready to play at the level he did before the major surgery.

And no Saliakis … not to mention this Dutch team has a lot of players back that were hurt when we last played them. This will be a much better Dutch team …

How can you leave him out the squad

That is embarrassing

Apparently - he rates Masouras ahead of him. I would just send him down to the U21.

GREECE 12 Tzolakis(GK) 21 Tsimikas 5 Retsos 4 Mavropanos 15 Rota 10 Tzolis 16 Androutsos 6 Kourbelis 19 Karetsas 8 Ioannidis 14 Pavlidis(Captain) BENCH 1 Vlachodimos(GK) 13 Mandas(GK) 2 Vagiannidis 3 Koulierakis 7 Masouras 9 Douvikas 11 Bakasetas 17 Hatzidiakos 18 Tetteh 20 Koutsoupias 22 Giannoulis 23 Triantis Manager: Ivan Jovanovic(SRB)

NETHERLANDS 1 Verbruggen(GK) 22 Dumfries 6 Van Hecke 15 Van de Ven 12 Timber 8 Veerman 14 Reijnders 21 De Jong(Captain) 10 Summerville 18 Malen 11 Gakpo BENCH 13 Roefs(GK) 23 Flekken(GK) 2 Geertruida 3 Maatsen 4 Zechiel 5 Timber 7 Kluivert 9 Meerdink 16 Til 17 Lang 19 Van Bommel 20 Koopmeiners Manager: Xavi Hernandez(ESP)

Starting line-up is out.... Bakasetas not starting, Kourbelis is. 4-4-2, with Pavlidis and Ioannidis up front, Tzolis and Karetsas on the wings. Androutsos and Kourbelis in the middle.

For those in the states, the game is on FS1 today

Obviously we want a Greece win, but a Dutch win by 1 doesn't hurt us that bad. Would mean that Germany would have to beat them by 2+ to pass us in qualification (assuming we beat the Serbs).

Why was Kostoulas left off the squad today? Is he going to the U21s?

I'm seeing posts online that Despodov has extended his contract to 2029

Looking like the most difficult match of the group. A win would be a dream of course but even to get a draw and remain unbeaten would be a big statement going into Serbia home match. I would just hope we show a tough and defiant side to play against tomorrow whatever happens in the match and show our place in the standings is not an aberration. Ultimately the Serbia match will be the main decider but we could really turn the narrative with a big result here.

GROUP C2 STANDINGS Montenegro-13 Cyprus-8 Armenia-5 Latvia-1

If we have learned anything from watching Jovanovic coach it would be his pragmatism. I think he will play for the draw. A draw gets on on 9 points and means that even if Germany wins out, we will still go through long as we beat Serbia. Can’t say I’m totally against it in this specific game considering we will probably be bossed around the midfield. But hey maybe I’m wrong Androutsos has been superb and Bakasetas has been rejuvenated lol

Very lucky to get a draw in this game. Iceland was the much better team on the pitch. They hit cross bar in first half and also missed a penalty kick. Lucky to tie them in injury time with an own goal. If we want to advance, we will need to play much better in the return leg.

Monastirlis started in goal but had to be substituted due to injury in the U21 game in snowy Iceland. Mythou played for few minutes in second half. Banza played in the second half in the Congo - Sierra Leone (3:1) game. He did not score.
