    Fanis Gekas ‒ (retired)

    in Greek Players Abroad

    Posted

    BBC website said he came on in the 90th minute but I'll take your word for it Cerigo. Let's hope Gekas gets more playing time next Saturday against Bolton. Whatever happens, at least this move to Portsmouth was just a loan deal. I will still hold out hope that he eventually gets a bit more time as the season draws to a close. Who knows, if he can nab a goal or two, he might just garner some interest.

    germany

    and either:

    italy or france

    england or serbia

    good luck on a good draw. i have faith in the players...i'm not a fan of a. alexiou.

    Just out of curiosity, why are you not a fan of Alexiou? I haven't seen the U'19 team play so I can't really judge his tactics.

    Yes but we have to remember that the defences at the Euros will be much more organized than Motherwell's. I mean just look at the goal the conceded against Samaras & you'll see why I rate the Scottish league (apart from the top 2) as the same level with Cyprus.

    Has Samaras ever scored from a corner against a good team? In fact, has Samaras ever scored any sort of goal against a good team because I can't remember one.

    I see your point DUDE but I'd rather Samaras be scoring just the same, even if it is against weak opposition. At least we know that his accuracy is good and when he does get an opportunity, he'll bury it. It's the sort of clinical finishing that we'll need at the Euro. Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting him to light up the tournament. But you can't deny that with his size, he will be a threat on nearly every set piece Greece take.

    Good for him. If he can get into top form before the Euro, he should be able to push Charisteas for a starting spot (although realistically, I'm thinking that Otto uses him as a sub). Seems to be developing a knack for scoring off corners, which is good considering much of our offense depends on free kicks and corners.

    Well, apparently Samaras started against Rangers and played the whole game. He set up one of his teammates with a nice throughball into the Rangers' box and the player was alone with the keeper but he scuffed his shot. He also set someone up through a header for a nice chance.

    Although he didn't score, it's nice to see that he's getting ample playing time at Celtic.

    Ive given samaras the benifit of the doubt for so long. Theres no way hes gonna get a loan deal in the next week. But i hope Im wrong. Since bianchi will be gone and castillo is injurned i guess hes not in too bad of shape right now.

    Who else do City really have? I know Elano has been getting some playing time. Is Vassell still playing with them? Honestly, if Samaras can't at least make the bench I will be mighty disappointed.

    samaras = hopeless

    get him out of the national team

    Samaras is the most talented player on our national team. And he's still very young. It seems rather premature to be giving up on him and calling him "hopeless". Even if he doesn't play another minute for Man. City, Otto will still call him up for the Euro, and rightfully so.

    FIFA World Ranking

    I'm surprised Sweden is so low. They're still a pretty good team. As for our WC qualifying opponents, we shouldn't be fooled by their low rankings. Israel will give us a challenge as will the Swiss. Moldova won't be easy although we should win both games no question. I think Latvia is a bit of a wild card. I can understand why we couldn't come to an agreement with them about the scheduling of the games. Latvia are very capable of nicking a 0-0 or even a 1-0 from us. Luxembourg are obviously the minnows of the group. I can only hope that the rest of the teams will take points off each other (I think Moldova might just help us out in this regard).

    The top 10 seems about right although I think Germany should be 4th and Spain 5th while Netherlands should be 8th and Portugal 9th but I guess that's just nitpicking.
