Just thinking positive ? I like how the team has played on the attack under Ange. The first game even though we only scored 2 vs Liechtenstein they could have easily put in 5 goals if not for some bad finishing. In Bosnia we scored 2 again, and we had Bosnia on three heels. Fortounis had one on a plate in the first half and blasted it over the net. Also in the second half Kolovos had a half volley saved in the box and a few more grade a chances that didn’t go in. So if we can keep up the same offensive pressure going into the next two matches I like our chances. If we play with the same attacking style as we saw vs Bosnia we can get a win. Throw Manolas and Toro back into the lineup and we look pretty tough.

I agree.. this was a very small sample size for us but it did show positive signs.. We have a hell of lot to improve on and you juts hope they keep getting better every game.. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction becasue as much as we think we turned the corner we can easily take two steps back with two bad results in June.. I’m not ready to say we are taking 2nd place yet.. I do feel like the team is closer to each other and there is a good vibe again with the players and I also think if played the right way we can create offensively and we don’t need to sit back all the time.. Fingers crossed that this is the beginning of good things to come because honestly I can’t go through missing another tournament..

Let’s not jump ahead too much. We should take each game as it comes. Greece done well the first 2 matches. We still have to improve, especially in finishing.

Yeah, good show. Too bad this team isn't in 4th place.... they've won enough points if it weren't for the penalties... ? Insua said today that he wants to stay. The problem with this team is that there's no depth, and there's so much you can do with using talent from the academies. You need established, mature, and proven players to compete higher. The bigger contracts though haven't contributed. Only Kourbelis justifies his 500k (?). Anyway, they'll get rid of many of those contract at the end of the season. But, look, even though money isn't everything, it's still a big factor. Someone else needs to take over from Alafouzos; he'll keep the budget low next season too. It's sad that we're trying to be in the top 5 to earn a euro spot.... Unless there's a change in ownership next year will be more of the same... no way to compete for the title ?

Yes u need to be 2nd which means realistically gather more points than Bosnia who - being an offensive team will not lose points vs Finland and Armenia. We on the other hand can easily drop points to such minnows. So make sure we win all 4 games with them and not lose to Bosnia and we re through.

Just bring the game to GeekSeat Stadium in Bridgeview, Illinois. The home of Chicago Fire.
