Yeah .... nah. When Varoufakis was asked by Tsipras to be the Fin Min he stated :- - he has no desire or wish to become a career politician. - he doesn't agree 100% with Syriza's political views but felt he must help the nation to the best of his abilities. - his ideal scenario with Greece's debt would be that Greece defaults within the EZ. - his ideal scenario with the EU is that it gets a massive wakeup call, because the way they are running things (austerity, austerity, austerity) will lead to the eventual disintegration of the EU. As far as I can tell, Varoufakis achieved all of his goals. At the very least he's irritated the hell of out the Germans and EU and for that alone he deserves a bronze statue! :D I wouldn't be surprised if he had the idea to resign at the same time as the announcement of the referendum. I wouldn't put it past him.

As you wish

LOL kalo Ola kala atherfe, thanks for asking, hope all is good on your end too.

Hahahah big decision!

There wont be that many friendlies anyways, the topic will eventually just die, i think it would be better if everything was just in one topic. Your call ;)

It will be interesting to see how the Spanish elections later this year turn out. If they get a party that is anti-austerity as well, the EU will have a real problem on their hands. Greece on it's own will never bring down the EU, not even close, but it could be a catalyst. Throw in an angry and defiant Spain into the mix, and the EU will be seriously worried.

Here is a look at the training gear for this year by Puma, as per what I have heard, the jersey we wore yesterday is not out official jersey, we will wear 2 different kits during preseason. On July 15, Puma will introduce our 3 jerseys for 2015-16.

I did not want SYRIZA, still do not care for Tsipras but the people have spoken. There is anger and rightfully so. The majority of the no came from out of work youth you have not been able to find a job for a long time. I met some young kid the other day who came here from Greece, he must have been 27. He told me that he and his friends had just obtained their masters degrees and not one of them could find jobs. They were just sitting there and after 6 months, he came to the US to get a job as a waiter. How can that be acceptable? Our best and brightest leaving because of lack of job prospects. To say that he was lazy would be unfounded. And then you have the EU who is just being punitive. My son, who is 5 asked me why are people waiting on lines at the banks in Greece. I told him in simple terms that the ECB cut off funding (the other EU countries). His response, that is messed up, why would they do that to Greece. That is not a nice thing to do. A 5 year old realizing what many of us adults do not. I know we live in a world were economics and finance are king, but we also have a social responsibility to our fellow man. Last week, I would have voted Yes. Today, I am not sure but I do not blame the Greek people for voting No.

:tup: Wanted to use that code too, but we are probably the only ones in this forum who know it. For you outside The Netherlands: 010 is the telephone code of Rotterdam; 020 of the rivals from Amsterdam. In fact there is a brand of clothing here with: 010 isn't just a code. In other words: It is a way of life. As PAOKtzides we should start our own brand: 031 isn't just a code with the Leuko Pirgo in the background :nw:

hahaha , i hope for you he dont come , nothing good can come out of 020 :D

Varoufakis has resigned. I wonder if that was the plan all along. You never know with this man. http://yanisvaroufakis.eu/2015/07/06/minister-no-more/ I particularly like this quote "And I shall wear the creditors? loathing with pride."

Friendly on July 22: Panathinaikos - Udinese at Leoforos http://www.sdna.gr/gr/podosfairo/superleague/panathinaikos/arthro/50166/prova-tzenerale-me-oudineze/

:la: :artist: If I understand the banking system a little, you need money to operate. No?! All Greeks will rush to the banks to take all their money out, especially after this referendum. So, where are they going to find this cash reserves? I'm talking euros..... unless they start printing drachmas!

I hope and pray for the good of my country that Tsipras and Varoufakis prove me wrong and get a better deal but I'm really not convinced they can... Time will tell, the next 48 hours are crucial, please prove me wrong Tsipras.

Greece got the NO vote and sent a clear message. Let them have a party tonight but their true resolve will be tested in the next few weeks and months. None of us truly know what will happen. I've heard the term "uncharted waters" several times by media outlets. I hope that none of the political leaders take this in a personal way and just address the issues at hand. Will there be debt relief? Can Greece reform and eliminate the oligarchs? What will other EU countries do and demand?

Don't agree. I think this is more like the entree, and there is still main and dessert to be served. More like Def Con 4 to 3. If the EU plays that game, Greece will be forced to issue IOU's just like California did. The pressure on the EU will mount and they will look like they are kicking a man who's already down. The EU has miscalculated before (they seem to have a good track record) and although they may think this could break the Syriza government, it could back fire as well. Samaras quitting (that caught me by surprise) doesn't help their cause.

This vote is a sign of defiance against the Northern European politicians, the wealthy businessmen, bankers and the one-sided media corporations in Greece and abroad. The Euro currency is a disaster and more are beginning to realise this. Not just in Greece, it was great to see solidarity marches in other countries like Ireland, France, Britain and Spain in support of the Greek people. I know people have said parties similar to Syriza could do well in elections in Spain and Ireland, while right-wing Euro scepticism is rising in France. Europe is changing and the EU-oligarchy don't like it one bit.

Do you find it amusing a man who's blood is 100% Nigerian represents Greece in basketball?
