samaras should definately be on the national team and xaristeas consistently sucks..by all means i love him for euro 2004, but he has one good quality and one quality only, his header,
if he happens to catch on to a header and score great, but 9 games out of 10 he doesnt, and besides his header he is not fast, especially for a striker, and he is not a very technical player,
samaras can create opportunities as he can make things happen with the ball at his feet, he is faster, one of the best at controlling hte long ball..
IMO xaristeas should not be on the NT anymore but love him for euro 2004
