4‑1‑4‑1 this was the formation otto had us play against argentina when we lost 2-0 in 2010 but we stayed in the game until late in the 2nd half. Anybody think this formation against spain could work , or is it too defensive.

Baba Rahman has a call up for Ghana. They play South Africa and Sao Tome.

Not sure what it was listed as but that match Greece played with 5 center backs on the pitch. A back 3 of Kyrgiakos/Moras/Avraam, Vyntra at right back and Sokratis man marking Messi. Essentially it was a 5-4-1 with no wingers and one striker on the pitch, it was one of the most defensive performances I've ever seen from a team and we literally had one decent chance to counter and snatch a goal. It's not so much the formation but how you counter when you win the ball back, do you break in numbers, or do you hoof a long ball to an isolated striker and hope for a miracle. Greece in 2010 did the latter, I suspect Greece in 2021 will be looking to counter with numbers and actually create something when given the opportunity.

Listen man lets just leave it as we both look at it differently and move on.

I was just going to share the same article. It seems like Zagorakis is going to reach out to Manolas and Sokrais and try to clear up any misunderstanding that took place ad try to get them to come back to NT.

^Good post PaokCT. Wow - represented Greece in 2012. That's not too long ago. Zagorakis knows a thing or two about what it is to represent the Greek NT. https://www.sport24.gr/football/zagorakis-ethniki-manolas-papastathopoylos.9174476.html If Zagorakis does take over EPO presidency I think this going to be a good turning point. I hope. Greece is ranked 20th in Europe which is terrible, and that needs to change.

I represented Greece on the national level for the Greek National Baseball team in European competitions in Euro 2012. I was in tears the first time I wore that jersey and heard the anthem. So from someone who actually put on the official Greece uniform, I CAN confirm, that I felt in my heart I was representing my country and I put on the best effort I could for Greece.

Kotsiras should have been called up to play RB. Much rather him than Mavrias, Androustos is decent there imo
