Off course. As I am not going to Greece this year and the team is in the neighbourhood I must go "na chortaso". Hope to talk to some players again and take some photo's with two of my kids (The eldest one only likes to be in Toumba for the atmosphere, as he doesn't like football), like last year:

We can't blame anything to the economic crisis. Ukraine had a war and they still made it to the Euros (despite failing there). They made it with a far worse roster.

Bad attitude and self interest over team spirit is what cost us. We didnt really lose our best players but probably our worse (apart from Karagounis). Katsouranis nothing special , Gekas good but nothing special. some Spyropouloi Tziolides nothing special. And thats the reason that we have high chances to make a comeback. Because we didn't lose the talent. Just the morality and consistency. BVB had a similar season, noone went crying and judging "we cant beat even Hoffenheim in our current form". Chelsea had a similar season, noone went "here come the dark days like before 2005 , we gonna lose to Nottingham forrest next season just because we can". We didnt really need a coach just someone to unite them. Besides you can't expect to teach ball to these players. Most of them already play under some of the best coaches and train against some of the best players , their teammates. All you gotta do is find a strategy or two that will suit your

Very cool. I bet this year the twins would be just as tall as Salpi!

Yes they are. Have more pics of them with Pereyra, Rat, Maduro, Kitsiou, Martens, Glykos and so on. Even with Tudor and Arnesen, who spoke Dutch with the boys. Just like Maduro and Martens. I like it when clubs are on tour. All the players are very approacheable. They all signed the PAOK-ball the boys got from relatives the year before last year.

No excuse the economic crisis. Poverty makes an athlete hungrier for success. Being pampered and told how good you are and selfies for facebook are what made Hellas fail in the Euro qualifiers. The little things were not being done during matches, must get them done in WCQ's.
