Greece 8-8 Hungary (final) in the water polo. We equalised with 5 seconds to go in the match. Next match in 3 days with Brazil then Australia. Standings Group A: Brazil: 4 pts Greece: 4 pts Australia: 3 pts Hungary: 3 pts Serbia: 2 pts Japan: 0 pts All teams played 3 matches, except for Serbia and Brazil who play tomorrow. Top 4 get though to round of 8.

Iliadis lost today, so no medal for him. I think the only realistic chances we have is Petrounias in gymnastics and maybe 1 or 2 medals in rowing. Stefanidi has a chance in pole vault, but it will be tough. Watched little bit of the water polo game today, and the team looked very good. They might be in the running for a medal, but it will be very tough.

Here's the sideline camera view of the last friendly. Today's lineup should be posted in an hour or so.

Awesome stories Amo, awesome pics too I saw from you... Its always nice hearing these stories and even nicer when the players actually take some time out to sit and talk about their experiences. I met Fyssas in South Africa in 2010, couldn't have met a nicer guy, very genuine.

More honking than usual?

She comes from my city so there's been some fireworks and a lot of people driving around and honking :gr:

im not buying that someone is offering us nearly 1 million for Sabo We have been linked to Vittek, the 34 year old Slovak striker. That seems like a signing of seasons gone by, not at all in keeping with our signings this year. Need to look elsewhere if we actually want to improve on what we currently have in attack

We'd be fools not to accept

That was nice to see. Good luck to Avraam. I know there is not a lot of love for him around here, but I have to respect how much work he has put in to play after his injury finished him for top flight football- Turkey then China and now Japan, there are not a lot of Greeks players who can handle that kind of culture shock.

There are several things here, so let's separate them. Greece has not been able to successfully and efficiently run their own affairs, including the economy since 1821. Entry into the EU was rushed, partly on fake numbers Greece gave the EU, partly to forge a union with a common currency (monetary policy) but with dozens of different national economic policies. The drachma was exchanged at much higher value than warranted too. Many Greeks felt rich almost overnight. Many Euros got tired of Greece's behavior, especially the newly elected Syriza's rhetoric and amateurish stance. It was punishment time. Since the 1980s, Greece thought it was smarter and could fool the EU. Payback was almost natural when the Greek state went bankrupt. The austerity package was badly planned and implemented. It has turned many Euros (for different reasons) against the EU. Extreme parties became stronger (not a good thing either). Greece became a lab animal on life support and with no recovery in sight Greece remains badly managed by her own leaders! Let's say I was rich enough to pay off all of Greece's debt. So no more crazy austerity or capital controls. Is anyone confident here or anywhere to assure me that this mess would not happen again?...
