Its a disaster! Here in Canada gonna have to listen to all the build up without our beloved Ethniki. A lot of these minnow footballing nations with no history will be here, including Canada and USA lol... I was so looking forward to going to the matches in Toronto if we were playing there or NYC. Just so ANNOYED! This is our longest tournament drought equaling the Euro 1980 to World Cup 1994. I have a feeling it will be longer. I really do not have much confidence in seeing us make Euro 2028 especially after Greece got this draw. We managed to f up the greatest draw possible getting Denmark the weakest pot 1 team and Scotland from pot 2 and we made a total mess of it. Qualification done after match day 4? Even Poyet got us to the playoff in the Euros and we finished a respectable 3rd behind giants France and Holland and competed until the very last match day. This is very similar to the Euro 2016 qualification debacle that was intitally over seen by Ranieri that tool. Now Greece are playing in A league of the NL its going to be tough to say the least to get a back up ticket for the Euro 2028 playoffs. Just PISSED!!

Too bad we (DA BEARS) don't play you this season as I would like the color commentary on that game.

This one stings from a diaspora perspective as well, we are never going to host a wc in Australia and this was probably the last time the Americans/Canadians were going to get an opportunity after the 94 debacle. A lot of us have family over there and many would have made the trip.

Insane how our MVP from last season has so quickly fallen out of favour this season. Ozdoev is 33, and while he is having a great year I would much rather keep Camara on board for next season than renewing a soon to be 34 year old Ozdoev.

It's time to start your favourite topic for the upcoming transferwindow, @pash! Rumor has it that Mady is guided to the exit as he is #5 in the pecking order.

Another PAOKtsaki is born. Chalov was congratulated by the PAE for the new member in the family.

Yes I agree. We have two meaningless games left. He needs to put in all three of new call ups. We dont need to see Kourbelis, Bakasetas and Mantalos, we know what they can do. That being said starting lineup vs Scotland should be the followimg Vlahodimos Vaggianidis Retsos Koulierakis Giannoulis Zafeiris Mouzakitis Tzolis Kostoulas Karetsas Pavlidis Teteh, Triantis should be subbed on in the 2nd half

Mythou scored one of the goals in the 2:0 over Belarus in the U10 EURO qualifying game played in Turkey.

After playing a year for Nea Salamina Vellios now plays for Niki Volou.

Fantastic to see them playing out of Toumba for a change instead of the potato field at Mesimvria

These guys are also now predicting 91% chance of us making the top 24 and 14% chance of top 8. I'd expect the top 8 chance to only marginally increase if we beat Brann (as we are favored), so we'd need to upset Lyon to make very big progress. Also, for fun, here are the others that are ahead of us, sorted by % chance of top 8: Aston Villa 92% Midtjylland 87% Lyon 85% Freiburg 73% Real Betis 55% Porto 51% Celta Vigo 50% Braga 41% Ferencvaros 32% Fenerbahce 29% Roma 32% Lille 29% Stuttgart 21% Genk 22% Viktoria Plzen 22% Nottingham Forest 20% Bologna 19% PAOK 14% Perusing the next two match days, some interesting matches that can affect all that: 27 Nov (our Brann game): Fenerbahce vs Ferencvaros - both above us, any result will see us improve relative to someone Bologna vs Red Bull Salzburg - RB can beat Bologna, which would be great Victoria Plzen vs Freiburg - same idea as Fenerbahce's game Roma vs Midtjylland - we'd have to hope for a Roma loss 11 Dec (our Ludogorets game): Midtjylland vs Genk - again, hope for Midtjylland to keep winning Celta Vigo vs Bologna - hope for a Bologna loss Brann vs Fenerbahce - Brann is currently right below us so if we do win our tie then we can potentially have some help if they somehow beat Fenerbahce Young Boys vs Lille - very long shot but Young Boys taking a few points off Lille would be huge for us

congrats to our team for the win !

So after the great result vs Young Boys, an updated stat from the famous "football meets data." They still haven't released the full "top 8" and "top 24" percentages, but I'd imagine we slightly improved for the top 8 as well. Also, for Greece in general:

+2.000 points added to our tally as the minimum starting bonus of 3.000 was reached with the draw vs Maccabi and win vs Lille. 42.250 points in the ranking and #53.

Closed the gap slightly with Czechia and got a little bit more distance from Poland!

To reap benefits from the win against Lille, we need to win this game as well. This will not be very easy game at all.

2-0 for our U19. Antonis Aretis with a brace after being subbed in in the 71st minute. Next opponent Legia Warszawa. Despite losing 3-2 today the aggregate score was in their favour: 6-4.

I really hope that we call up some new faces. But I don’t think Ivan will do it. This team needs youth involved. Also Pantelidis has been performing really well for Kifisia. Kyziridis also doing very well for Hearts. Both not really world class but I can see that they can improve the Greek team. The generation of Mantalos, Bakasetas ect are not helping this team reach the next level. We need players with close control and talent. I don’t see why Tzimas and Kostoulas don’t get called up. Both look ready for this team even in the limited amount of game time they’ve had. When they’ve played for Brighton they’ve looked great. Greece is starting to produce a lot of good strikers. Theres around 8-10 players with 5 playing at the highest level. Theres even some wonderkids coming through in the Greek u19s. That’s what we need I just hope we can get some midfielders coming in with high potential. Mouzakitis is a great start. We have to also reward inform players. If it was up to me I’d go with this list currently. Tzolakis, Vlachodimos, Tsiftsis, Vagiannidis, Kostiras, Retsos, Koulierakis, Mavropanos, Hatzidiakos, Tsimikas, Giannoulis, Mouzakitis, Triantis, Zafeiris, Ntoi, Konstantelias, Karetsas, Kaloskamis, Kyziridis, Pantelidis, Tzolis, Ioannidis, Pavlidis, Douvikas, Tzimas, Kostoulas We have nothing to play for but we should start building for the next competition. Try different things and get new faces in.

Aris lost 2:1 even though they played with extra man for 25 minute. I that span they of time they could hardly make a pass, let alone score a goal. We have to win tomorrow and then go to play Panathinaikos who will be hard pressed to get points. Hopefully we won't resurrect them.

What a way btw to celebrate our 100th victory in Europe. Took us 257 games to achieve this. A night to remember.

3:4 final. Survived a heart attack today. Major win.

Massive!!! I thought it was curtains after the penalty miss.

You are too eager, fearless leader. We still have the return on November 5th.

2:0 win against Akureyri in Iceland. Both goals scored by Toursounidis. The game was scheduled at outdoor stadium with artificial turf, but was moved to an indoor stadium after a heavy snowfall with a two hour delay. We will now play Legia Warsaw who defeated Fiorentina.

Nikos Karageorgiou is fired. Spaniard Dani Ponz is the next hired (to be fired).

No it stands. 0:1

That's because it wasn't a penalty.

Adelino Vieirinha, The Movie PAE PAOK production:

Great points, I have said I liked the hiring of Jovanovich a lot as I had a feeling he would incorporate the younger players into the squad. The major problem with him is that he stuck with Kourbelis and others who have no business being on the team. Kourbelis hardly had any playing time in the Saudi league and he automatically starts him vs Denmark? He was so poor that match and the Danes just exploited us. Why did he mess with the winning lineup when we destroyed Scotland 3-0 in NL? If he has the right lineup in that match Greece beat Scotland comfortably and we are still in the running for 2nd place. Too not be in the playoffs is a major failure and to be eliminated with two match days left is a total disaster! Your right our attacking play is great but defensively we were exposed and gave up 9 goals in the last 3 matches something that you would never see from the NT of old.

Jovanović Should not get a free pass as he had a dream draw and had the team on a huge high coming into these qualifiers, only to be eliminated by game 4 was a massive failure and because of that he should not be automatically renewed you can't reward guys for failure. He didn't adjust after the disaster against Denmark in Greece, they went on to allow 9 goals against in there next 3 games after they beat Belarus. I'm not saying he should or shouldn't be fired, but he needs to be held accountable as the coach and not automatically get a free pass. I do give the Coach credit for having the balls to call up the young players that we all have been screaming about for years and maybe they need some more time to adjust on the big stage. There's no question the team is talented but right now it's an awkward mix with guys like Bakasaetas, Mantolas, kourbelis which should not play for this team again. it's almost like the script has flipped and we've become better offensively and worse defensively and they need to do something to find a good balance of both. The mistakes made on the field that lead to goals were terrible a lot of stupid plays. The nations league might actually help the team prepare better by playing much better teams but right now this one is going to sting for a while until at least until the world cup is over.

We've got a decent squad, but depth is lacking in midfield, particularly at CDM/CM. Up front, we're fine, with players like Ioannidis and Tzimas impressing. I think Ioannidis should be the one starting but that’s me. With Tzimas even taking his place when the time is right. On the wings, we have options like Karetsas, Kostoulas, Konstantelias, Tzolis, and Pnevmonidis. In the younger players, Mouzakitis, Zafeiris, Triantis, and Alexandropoulos stand out. However, it's time to move on from experienced players like Kourbelis, Mantalos, and Siopis. A new captain is needed, someone with top-level experience. Tzolis and Mavropanos are potential candidates, with Koulierakis also in the mix. Bakasetas's time might be up; while he's passionate, his overall play hasn't been impactful enough. Since Ivan took charge, the young players have stepped up, showing promise in attack. However, individual mistakes have cost us, and the older players haven't consistently delivered. A clear-out might be necessary to make way for younger players and bring in fresh talent from decent leagues.

Greece fall eight spots to #48.
