oh, it wasn't for this match... that's what my source tells me..... I got on their case about those lotto numbers too and they said those are the winning numbers, but not for this week's draw!

You called it re ill give you that!! Said it before were better first half you guys better 2nd half. Barkas saved our asses, kid has talent. Very poor crowd also heard the commentator say 6-7k, how could they not get more?

Πάμε για ένα 3-0 καθαρό ...αλλά το ματσάκι όπως πάντα. ..ζωρικό!

A fast wingman who is all up for hunting the through balls and not just keeping it on his feet waiting for others to come up will upgrade the team's total playstyle. Even if he is as bad as Platellas and Aravidis, who can't even make it in the first X1 of this Aek. We are a strong defensive team. Such teams hit on the counter. We can't hit on the counter with only Fortounis and Mitroglou. Mantalos can't play wide. He is a good offensive player but that's about it. He deserves to be in the starters but he clearly can't play winger. If I was to choose anything to represent us as a winger Id go for Gianniotas on the Right and Pelkas on the Left. Fortounis on the Center and Mitroglou up front. Mantalos could actually work on an offensive scheme that we should try vs Gibraltar, like 3-2-2-3. That would be fun.

Pelkas is a bit more consistent can also play central... However..yes in regards to NT...Pelkas,Platellas + Giannotas, just like Kolovos, Vlaxodimos ,Aravidis , Koutsianikoulis, (and Klonaridis) in the past...are not the solution... We are screaming out for quick skillful players to play in these advanced wide positions...and anyone that shows glimpses of something..we are quick to grasp on to... In reality you need players of the quality of Stelios, Mirallas, Galletti, Mak, Djole, Leto in these positions to make an impact.. To compare any of the current Greek players above is beyond laughable... That's why many here are still hanging on to Kone,Lazaros, Ninis and Fetfa...as options....at least these guys have played in major tournaments and club football at a decent level..

Cant wait to see Nepal vs Matla lol On the bright side atleast it gives Greece a slightly better chance.

What a waste of arguably the most promising teenager ever for Greece. He is not finished but injuries have devastated him.

I don't ever see a day where you have a system like in the U.S. (and Australia for that matter) of drafts, spending caps etc. It's too far gone and the big clubs in Europe would object vociferously. I think if it came to it, they would break away and make their own league. Having said that, UEFA has implemented the Financial Fair Play system but it's still a bit of a joke. It's too little too late. There were always big clubs (e.g. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayer, Man Utd, Liverpool, Milan, Inter, Juve etc.) but the disparity now is ... just so large it's become ridiculous. This is because of the CL and the huge prize money. It started the snowball effect and has just rolled on. But I don't know what you can really do about it. Maybe UEFA could halve the prizemoney and instead give it clubs directly, even those not competing in Europe. Hmm, now I'm sounding like a commie. You want to know what I think is the best way to stop the massive disparity ? Go back to the old days, maybe tweaked a little. 1) Only allow 5 foreigners in the squad. Back in the day it was 3 but I think that's maybe a bit low. 2) Don't allow a club to have more than "x" number of players in total. This is to stop clubs buying 60 players and loaning them out. If you have a player, he should be in your squad. Otherwise, you need to sell him. The beauty of point 1) above is that it curtails the spending power of all "big" clubs. Yes, they'll still get the best, but they won't get "the rest" who are just a little behind in quality, and these players would be at different clubs. You wouldn't get the concentration and stock piling like you have today. And you'd actually get to see teams in Europe that are composed of players that are local. Now, if you beat Arsenal what did you beat ? An English team ? I don't even know what the heck it means anymore.
