  1. The minute there’s a little hype around this team and they start pulling in crowds they lay a massive egg in big games. They did it with the game against England here, they did it against Georgia and now Denmark.

  2. Let's pump the break on all this negative talk. Konstantelias is uber talented, that is why PAOK is getting offer of $20M plus. We had not faced a team that was patient like Denmark and could counter like that. I am sure Jovanovic will see what we did wrong and fix it. We are a young team, these things take time..

  3. This was a good lesson. We went away from what got us here. We beat England in Wembley and can't beat Denmark at home? Taking Karetsas out was the wrong move. Kourbelis should not start going forward.

  4. Pains to say but it's true. Not sure if it's nerves or expectation but they aren't looking great in front of the home crowd, which you would think is the opposite in football. They play better in all the away match. Denmark head and shoulders better today, the game turning clearly from copping the first goal, which allowed them to sit even deeper and hit us on the counter. We went from dreaming to now hoping in a flash. It did not appear we were on Denmark's level in any aspect deeply humbling and concerning.

  5. Greece have to win out all 4 matches to win the group, unfortunately that will not happen.

  6. I get Bakasetas coming on but taking off Karetsas when we are chasing a goal? He was one of our few bright lights.

  7. You know you completely messed up those changes when the announcers even call you out.

  8. Big fail on the changes. You’re chasing a goal You don’t take off your most skilled players. Now, as I say this watch them score.

  10. It goes without saying, this game will be far tougher than the one against Belarus. The Danes who have been mainstays at major tournaments for the last 7 or so years, have been able to build that solid record of qualification on a strong defence. They have been typically tough to break down and have had plenty of results by keeping a clean sheet. So it will be the first real test for our young guns and all their attacking flair. I expect Denmark will look to keep it tight and allow us to have the bulk of possession. Our attack has been blowing teams away, so an early goal and who knows. But I would anticipate a cat and mouse game. I don't expect Jovanovic to make any changes to the starting 11 that we saw today. Even though plenty (myself included) wanted to see Konstantelias instead of Bakasetas, you can't deny Bakasetas has performed time and time again for the Ethniki. He had another good game against the Belarusians, so I don't think he will be dropped for this one.

  11. Kourbelis should never have started this match and should have been subbed off at HT if not earlier. Karetsas should have been allowed at least another 15mins in the second half to try and rescue a goal for us. Jovanovich was right to sub off Konstantelias he was not on his game and neither was Tzolis as I said during the match. Denmark are a well organized side but we made them look like Argentina. I watched a lot of their first match and they struggled vs an average Scottish side at home. I never thought they would come to Greece and win in this fashion. We failed to keep the ball and made silly passes and guys tried to dribble past 2 or 3 defenders too. Greece have to get themselves together and have to get a win at Scotland. I can see the Scots just sitting back and waiting to counter us as they did in the two nations league matches. Scotland only got a 2 nil win vs Belarus and their first goal came in the 43rd minute.

  12. One question. Were was Mouzakitis? Why wasn't he even on the bench? Him and Zafeiris should start every game. Why is he putting in Kourbelis?

  13. Yeh i'd say the 3rd we got caught out not even mentioning Tsolakis brain fade but the game was already over at that point. When the game was up for grabs we couldnt get out of our own half, thanks to sloppy play. The 2nd goal infuriated me we just completely backed off. Denmarks coaching staff would have been doing cartwheels when Karetsas got subbed out, the one player they can change the game with 1-2 touches gets taken out.

  14. 100% - not sure what he was thinking. I totally get Bakesetas, try to calm them down but bringing in someone who probably should not be called up in the first place..

  15. What was Jovanovich doing tonight? Kourbelis dribbling to nowhere infront of our goal? Why did he keep him in? Tzolis had no touch on the ball tonight, really poor. Zaferis was our best player. I don't know what to say I was not expecting such a dismal performance.

  16. Did Denmark really counter though? They bossed the game and half the time it was our guys passing it straight to them. They're a good outfit but we made them look like a top 5 team. Now we have to tie Scotland at least to keep 2nd in play, a loss there and its pretty much done, the nations league result is irrelevant.

  17. No surprise the Danes are playing better than the last match, they wanted this match badly after losing 2 points to Scotland.

  18. Kourbelis had a bad game. I understand taking out Delias for Bakesetas to calm things down but Karetsas for Masouras???

  19. Yeah, that's something you do up 1-0, and now down 2-0 with our young guns done for the night, that should do it

  20. We started well, Denmark were just trying to take the sting out of the match and then we gave away the ball to many times and paid for it. I think we can get something out of this if we smarten up.

  21. Not a good first half. Not sure they will be able to turn it around in the second. Denmark has the ability to now shut it down and slow the entire game down. It’s going to take everything now just to get a point out of this game.

  22. Greece is the team that wants a high tempo match - when have we ever been described as such?

  23. I've never heard a commentator describe a Greece game as "a mouthwatering prospect awaits"
