This is just the beginning. I’m hoping for the best. I just wanted and expected changes in the line up in the beginning. I just hope the coach realises now we need younger personnel in place of the likes of Mantalos, Bouchalakis etc. I just hope it’s not a reoccurring theme where we play the old guard continuously when we know these players haven’t helped Greece make a tournament. Good result can’t complain too much. Now let’s see what happens in the Ireland match. Thanks re maik.

As of this moment, we are currently in Pot 2 for WCQ. Go follow “football meets data” on Twitter and they’re always updating it. Looks like we need 3 more wins in NL to clinch pot 2

Zivkovic: Serbia - Spain 0-0 Denmark - Serbia 2-0 Despodov: Belarus - Bulgaria 0-0 Bulgaria – Northern Ireland 1-0 and Despodov with the winner!

Coming off a great home win against Finland, now Greece hit the road for the first time against Ireland. The ethniki were able to beat Ireland both times during the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers.

I am gracing this forum with my presence to give my pronouncements, straight from Zeus's mouth to your ears: Koulierakis is the best CB Greece has ever produced Fortounis can eat a bag of dicks Have some respect for Pelkas you insolent whelps Game was played at 70% speed and we were (obv) very lucky with that first goal Finland is, however, hot steaming garbage Team should, therefore, look better once they get their mojo Rota did well today, but I don't think we have a single right-back of Greek extraction that deserves to start for a national team The Bri'ish commentator I was listening to was far too dismissive of Konstantelias' dribbling. Find me his name so that I may insult him online. He gets extra demerits for adding a "sh" sound to everyone's name. Pelkash? Bakashetash? Are you kidding me, or do you just live in the Fener? Don't be surprised or upset when a coach doesn't switch up an entire lineup. Teams that have played together always do better than teams that are new. It takes time - perhaps we'll see another one or two changes vs Ireland, who are have a pretty terrible team that we will struggle to beat

Ella Dean, the press was excellent. This coach has the team playing at the right tempo.

Jovanovic wasn't going to risk playing all the young players at the same, so having Mantalos (in a different position than usual) and Bouchalakis in the line up was understandable, although I don't think either should be starting. We have 2 thouroughbreds in Ioannidis and Koulierakis who will inevitably become the future leaders of team. Even though the team had a bad start in the 1st half, they weren't threatened, which shows that the team is prepared by Jovanovic to handle things when the game doesn't go their way. He is a conservative coach and understands that high risk football is not the way to go with this team atm. He used a number of youngsters and seems prepared to work them into the rotation, so for a 1st game against decent opposition, it was a nice result and I think he will make adjustments as he evaluates the onfield perfomances of the players moving forward.

The Jovanovic era has officialy begun. Ioannidis (24), Koulierakis (20), Konstantelias (21), Zafeiris (21), Tzolis (22), Vagiannidis (22). There was time when If you weren't 25 you weren't allowed on the field. Nice start for Jovanovic.

Hey look, your savior is playing the same players as the previous 3 head coaches!
