Lets not look far enough as we might get disappointed. Even after the Bosnia match I don't think we ll have a clear appearance of the Group. Cyprus is the fear of Bosnians when it comes to National Team Football. Estonia seems to have a momentum and , like Cyprus, having nothing to lose might make them harder to beat. Belgium is also questionable as weather they can stomp Bosnia to help us or evne if Bosnia manages a draw that might send us to 1st spot. Literally nothing has come to a conclusion. The only thing this "1st round" (since every team now payed with each other) brought up is the expected result of which 3 teams will be fighting for the top 2 spots, and which teams will be uninterested. Something I would like to mention is the result against Gibraltar. Everyone bashed our NT for only scoring 4 past them but Bosnia only scored 5 and in the middle of campaign while it was our first official match under a new coach in the beginning of a new era. I will remain with my initial belief. No matter if we qualify or not, Sokratis even said it himself. This team has shown huge improvement and progress from the 16 qual campaign and this should be considered frankly enough. It seems that it's the players' will right now that's pushing them more to try and persuade the qualification, which makes it even more enjoyable to watch and can easily be understood from their coexistence in the field. Target for me is not qualifying, but ending 2nd spot and not going in the play offs with the hands down. Some serious ranking boost will come with this aim as well.

how about that! my son is expected to be born to on april 9th!! maybe ill name him pash...

Couldn't agree more ! When ninis came into the scene at 16, he was electrifying. And he excelled with a good team around him in the team that won the double. I have no doubt he'd be good for us, especially in a free role in front of zeca and kourbelis. Question is, do we need him when we have players like villafanez lod, emboku... I'd say probably not.

getting ninis back would be horrible..the guy does not want to play for pao like old.. how many chances has he got and failed :(..siopis?..we have kourbelis...smaller budget does not mean we can't look over sea's for midfielder with good experience...also if do get anyone from panionios it is rivanis!...as for the albanian no thanks let him go..thinks his a big shot..played about twice for granada this season lol...seriously we can do much better than that.. fellow swede who we are linked always mikael ishak would do well playing off berg i feel :)

Sadly the differences in the set up will be far less than u guys hope/think. Stafylidis will be moved to Tzavellas position since the latter is inelidgible. Most of you forgetting Babe Karelis comming back fron an injury and he ll have his out of form self ready to look useless for one more game. As for Tachtsidis inelidgibility we all fear Tziolis but I believe it's just gonna be Zeca starting instead. Karnezis Toro-Sokr-Manolas-Stafy Zeca - Samaris Mantalos-Fortounis-Karelis Mitroglou

I don't actually monitor him a lot but his skill set is not one that deteriorates with age. His strengths are his passing, vision, shooting. All of which he can preserve into his 30s eg) Karagounis though they both were pacey when younger as most players tend to be. That was never the focal point for ninis imo. ninis tends to do well with a classy striker eg) Mitroglou and Cisse. It ups his game when he has motivation that his passes will likely lead to a back of the net opportunity.

The 9th is my birthday. PAOK needs to give me what I want.
