Did anyone else crack a massive smile when they showed Otto?

JVS was SPOT ON with his opening statement

Wow i give JVS props for being so direct when speaking about the state of football in Greece with regards to the GSL.

He can complain all he likes his tactics have sucked and look now what happens when you actually try to score. Our players are good enough no doubt and he doesn't choose the play the absolute best Greek players so why complain? Just on today how good is Tsimikas my goodness the kid is a star. It's like Giourkas all over again but this time on the left. Also Tzolis when he came on really gave us a different attacking threat cutting in from the right.

Say what you want about von schip but he was rightfully coming down hard and spitting facts about the state of the Greek SL right now lol

Just watched the game Was very exciting and so proud of the team for getting that win and doing it with good football too. But im left with a bad taste in my mouth. This win just makes me feel even more upset about the games we should have won. Imagine we win at least one of the kosovo matche and/or against georgia. Anyways, let's see if we can make something from this win. I doubt it, and i don't want to get my hopes up to be disappointed again. I will say this, though, If Tziolos is fit, it is 100% criminal to not play him.

So, how do we feel about JVS now? I'm suddenly very encouraged about the long-term prospects, especially with the likes of Tsimikas, Mavropanos, Douvikas, Tzolis, etc... coming into their own. Not gonna happen overnight. But I see the path... thoughts?

Hellas Footy Podcast on the game

Hellas Pod are definitely a great pod.

Bakasetas!!!!!!!! Best player and skipper in Greece, no doubt. JVS!!!!!!!! What a tactical giant. 5 3 2 system with a high press! Surely a three contract awaits for the Gaffa! Lets listen out for the gate 7 podcast enthusiastically give us the match report and opinion on that one then!

Just saw the game. I recorded it. So I kept off this site. Great win! Right back in it!

Good win There is still a chance. Otto was in the stands. He has a presence.

Always enjoy listening never miss a show. Great content. Bravo!

Yeah? And they managed to come to this conclusion after seeing them in one friendly game, with a lot of the regulars missing? I would hold off my judgment after they play in real games.

yeah he was, and he goes a bit deeper/elaborates later on in the interview as well.

How bad are those two draws now against Georgia and Kosovo. We were leading in both games.. We would have been in 2nd with 12 points and at the very least if we hung on against Kosovo we would be tied for 2nd with Sweden. We have to beat Georgia on the road and then beat Sweden at home if we do that then we have a great chance. Still a very tall ask. I don't think JVS will go anywhere until a new EPO leader is assigned and most likely that win bought him some time. The only thing i can say is JVS needs to play the style of play he played today against Sweden as i don't remember Greece standing toe to toe with a solid team like Sweden and creating chances back and fourth it was really nice to watch. This game could have gone the other way but the boys stuck with it and Vlacho stood tall. I would rather lose or draw every game playing like that rather then sit back and play scared against Kosovo and Georgia. Hopefully by October we have some of our injured players back as well. Bakasetas as s%$#! as he is played a good game today i have to admit as much as i hate to say it. Douvikas is looking really good. overall they team went toe to toe with Sweden and came away with a victory lets hope now they don't s%$#! the bed against Georgia in October.

Add those 4 points we dropped against Georgia and Kosovo, we're 2nd in the group.

Were was this vs Kosovo? We went toe to toe with Sweden! Douvikas what a star in the making! Tzolis gotta be starting when 100% fit!

What a performance!!

Greece 2-1 Sweden FT Probably still not enough to get to Qatar, but individually, a highly satisfying win!

GREECE WIN!!

GREECE 2-1 SWEDEN FINAL About time to get their first win in the WCQ 2022!

2 1 Greece

Saw interview basically JVS saying we dont have talent and missed key player's. Those excuses dont work for me vs Kosovo... lol they have a strong team? Do we not have any talent? Maybe he is right I dunno anymore as long as EPO does pressure player selections with agents I thought zago would be different
