France beat Ireland and the Netherlands beat Gibraltar. Everything that counts still going to plan.

The result is very disappointing but if we can build on these type of performances the goals will come. We played solid and the Lithuanian Goalie made some great goal line saves as we could have won this game by 3 or 4 goals.. We played better today than we did against Gibraltar. Lots of positives to take out of this game..

First half was great how we moved the ball quickly and created so many chances. Their goalie made some great saves especially in the opening half. Our problem is as always we barely get goals from our strikers. Pavlidis was really disappointing couldn’t take a chance & he even took a through ball away from an open Mantalos running in at the back post. Giakoumakis didn’t do much coming on. Douvikas should have got a call up! Bakasetas was strong today. Fortounis spreads the ball around so beautifully and his vision is stellar. Good thing this was not a qualifier but we need to be winning these matches vs Lithuania and Malta to get our ranking up so we don’t get another horrible draw for the 2026 World Cup.

Greece: Konstantelias IN Bakasetas OUT

Greece: Giakoumakis IN Pavlidis OUT

Pavlidis has been atrocious this game. Just took a chance away from Masouras

Fortounis has so much class!

What a fantastic final 5 minutes we’ve played..

Pavlidis over the net. We have taken 20 shots so far and control possession 70%

We are dominating so far. Could easily score 3-4 goals this game. Defense looks shaky though. I could see us giving up a cheap counter goal

I was thinking the same thing. Still a pretty big occasion. We have an opportunity to have a real home field advantage again for the first time since we left Karaiskaki(though the two games in Volos were pretty intense).

Hopefully people start coming to this new stadium and start supporting this team as we are really going to need the fans support in June and beyond..

First matchup in our new house!

No manager was willing to give Mantalos a chance as a central mid. Finally, Gus did that, not straight away either and with Petros' speed and smarts handles the position with ease. This new dynamic benefits the Ethniki with more speed in the middle of the park, especially as it seems that the likes of Galanopoulos and Alexandropoulos have gone to an outerspace journey.
