Yiankos Greatest Hits featuring ukworm.

Tzimikas I think is injured. Bouzoukis and Limnios got called up to the U21s. The core group he's picked are from 2013-2015 U21s who are now in their mid 20s. I can understand the logic. I would have liked to seen Lamprou and Chatzigiovanis, but they are just 21 and will get their chance sooner or later. The pick I like is the Aris LB Valerianos. Strongly built lad, takes players on, pacey and can get in a good cross. That's what we need.

Vlachodimos Bakakis Sokratis Siovas Koutris Samaris Siopis Masouras Fortounis Donis Mitroglou This is what I think will happen but if you want to be a bit creative this could work Vlachodimos Sokratis Siovas Samaris Mavrias Siopis Kourbelis Koutris Fortounis Mitroglou Donis

Thanks for clarifying the criteria @Lazarus. That makes a bit more sense. At least a potential candidate isn’t thrown away just because of their lack of donors. End of the day money unfortunately plays a massive role. It is what it is. The amounts are mind boggling. Regardless, I’m sure whoever the candidate ends up being, money I would imagine, won’t be a problem. The important thing I believe, is for the Democrats to select a candidate who (a) doesn’t have baggage (I’m thinking Hillary here) and (b) is sincere. By sincere I mean someone like Obama. Not an exact like for like but in a similar vein. Obama didn’t have that image of being “establishment” and I feel he really did want to do a good job in the face of many obstacles. Hillary/Trump strike me as wanting the position for the sake of it. These are just my perceptions though and I’m not heavily into U.S. politics or policies. But (and this is important) whoever the candidate is, they need to bypass/ignore Trump as much as possible, by concentrating on policy. No one can win against Trump by trying to criticise him. The man is beyond criticism. Policy, policy, policy, policy, policy. It’s what thinking people are interested in. Those that aren’t, well there is no convincing them anyway.

Vlaho was just rated the top gk in Portugal. Lambrou the top young talent in Holland...so there is hope..

Let’s just hope he plays Masouras and If not I don’t want to see Bakasetas he won’t help the NT and his recent form doesn’t merit a call up to the Ethniki.

Greece are in terrible form with bad players. They have struggled to put more than one goal past teams like Estonia for a few years now. Players are barely doing anything for their clubs... Mitroglou is washed, Donis is a bench player on a relegation level Bundesliga side, etc. We may have tied them last game in Bosnia but the time before that in WC 2014 qualifying Greece was pummeled. I won't expect much from the Ethniki, either now or in the future. 2004-2014 was anomaly.

Aris is your life long love, I mean you have loved Aris longer than everyone except your parents and siblings (unless one of your siblings is much younger than you), so sure it makes sense. Just to make sure I'm not misunderstood, not saying you love the team you root for more than your significant other and children but longer.

As unpopular as Trump is, being the incumbent gives him a huge advantage. Not to mention the people who have stuck with him until now will ride the ship until it sinks.
