Haha deff not man. Im just saying even it out in terms of both teams missing guys....spains got backups for their backups who would prob start for us.

Greece will be in 2nd when it’s done. They will get 3 from Spain 4 from Sweden. 4 from Kosovo and 6 from Georgia

Cyprus 0-0 Slovakia FT Not bad

Exciting to be only a few days out from the start of another qualifying campaign! I think Tzolis must start, he proved for PAOK in Europe how damaging he can be on the counter. Give him space at your peril, he's got pace to burn, has a lethal right boot and gets into dangerous scoring positions. He will provide a headache for the Spanish going the other way, whether or not JVS trusts him to start a game like this is another issue. Also interested to see what JVS does at center back, early reports are saying Tzavellas will start and the other spot is between Kyriakos/Mavropanos. Does he go with Kyriakos who is the most talented CB in the squad but it's been well documented what injuries have done to his career. Despite the fact that he plays for the bottom side in Croatia I think he is still capable of a big performance. Or will he go with the younger and uncapped Mavropanos who has finally got his body right and is playing regular first team football in the Bundesliga.

Good news for Paok, https://www.si.com/soccer/chelsea/news/financial-fair-play-set-to-be-scrapped-chelsea-to-be-given-more-freedom-in-150m-transfer-pursuit-of-erling-haaland Financial fair play may be binned.

Let’s go Cyprus get a result!

Could be a Monty Python scetch: Panachaiki has been penalised these days with two matches kekleismenon thiron........

Do not know if you are aware of the fact that there is no VAR in the WC qualifiers. And no goalline-technology. Saw some bad mistakes already today by the refs in Turkey-The Netherlands and France-Ukraine. Hope it won't have a negative effect on us tomorrow.

A bit too late, but good luck in this qualifying cyclus, Andrea!

No way we will finish behind Kosovo or Georgia. It will be a close finish for 2nd place with Sweden..

Ramos I thought is likely to miss this game and may be back for their second game. That is why he wasn't replaced.

I do not think its the toughest group, landing in the group with Italy and Switzerland would have been a disaster and the France and Ukraine group would have been tough. For second place and the chance at a playoffs the group with Germany might have been better for us as we would need to best Romania, Skops, Armenia and Liectenstein for second. For this group Greece need FULL points from Kosovo and Georgia for sure. Against the Swedes is where it will be decided I am thinking 4 points. If Greece can pick up a point vs Spain it will be a huge bonus and I think playing them first might help us as they to have some injuries and maybe they wont be 100% focused for us off the start. I see Spain being more up for playing vs Sweden and will want to get full points and knock them out from having any chance to qualify. Spain's manager said they are really tired of being grouped with Sweden in recent qualification campaigns and they are also grouped together at the Euros.

Looking at our group, this might be the toughest group for us, Kosovo and Georgia are must wins and we can’t afford to drop ONE single point to them under any circumstances or we have no chance at all. Sweden and Spain will each gain maximum points from both those teams.. For us sometimes those teams become challenging for us hopefully this is not the case.. We also need to find a way to get at least one point in the 2 games we play against Spain as I think Sweden are very capable of pulling Out a draw with them.. For Greece to have a chance for 2nd here are the MINIMUM points we need from each team to even have a shot and then some help from Spain to beat Sweden twice. kosovo - 6 points Georgia -6 points Sweden - 2 Points -(2 draws minimum) Spain - 1 Point Thoughts?

Same here I’m in Toronto and I keep looking at the UEFA TV app I’m hoping it will get updated by tomorrow since qualifiers start tomorrow so I’m gonna keep an eye on it to see if they have all of tomorrow’s games, if they do then they should add the Greece game on Thursday. Usually UEFA will add the games even the same day sometimes.

Hellas 2 Spain 1 Kiriakos and Mavro are good enough with Svarnas and Turkey's competition's best CB Tzavellas as back up at CB for the Ethniki.
