Geographically big as a land mass. Not big in football though.

Shut it Harper you muppet?

Brother, what's changed in 5000 years? Greeks have been feuding for all of civilization. Athenians have hated the Macedonians. Spartans despised the Athenians etc etc. You'd think we would have civilized ourselves after all these millennia.

My cousin from Toronto is also a Nick. Richmond Hill!!!

Nick, I was going going to but I was with my koubaro who has had a knee reconstruction so he wanted to sit up high.

OS it's a pretty argument and I wouldn't stoop down to that level. Credit to the Sydney crowd. I was filled with pride towards the end of the game when the active area went nuts with the singing and flags. Showed up the rest of the crowd. Credit to everyone who met them at the airport too.

Yeah Greece as a viable draw card and brand is zero in Australia. I can't see them coming again tbh.

I almost felt sorry for him last night. He was very bad. Didnt look worthy of being on that stage. He's going to be a millionaire I guess so life's good.

He was smashed in that challenge. I don't think it was malicious but the other deserved a yellow.

You nailed it. Illogical choice to start a player who's barely played all season. There's no conspiracy here I would guess, just incompetence.

Ok so as I suspected it was the EPO of 2008 who didn't bother finding out if Giannou was eligible. Thank you, you incompetent failures!

Ela re ausgreek patrioti mou. Me ton Barba Giorgi to Girtziki ta ebales?! Lol Actually I did over hear a conversation with Girtzikis and someone else and he called Frank Lowy a (*nt.

Damn this rain!

He definitely said something about the rain. It was kicked by English and Greek press.

Who are these Afghans?

Do you remember that crap that Otto once said after a heavy 4-0 friendly defeat to England? Something like how because it was raining the defeat was due to how it never rains in Greece. Genius kraut! How we won a Euro under that guy I'll never fully understand. Skibbe can use the Otto excuse in the wet weather if we lose.

Les Murray just lost his erection.

The interest and ticket sales is being focused on Greece as a draw card by a lot of bigoted anti-Greeks. If the matches are not a sellout or close to, then the failure is on Australia as a team and not Greece. So idiots will go watch Bangladesh or Jordan but not a former Euro champion nation? Btw I never bothered making the effort back in 2006 to watch the match in Melbourne as I could see that Greek players were here as tourists. I don't get that feeling this time around even if our best 7/8 players aren't playing.

We haven't lost to this minnow yet and they haven't won a match so it's the first time for both scenarios.

What's the point of a feather for a sword? They planning on tickling to death their opponents?

Exactly. Things are changing but there are powerful forces against the sport.

Nick, I got the same email too. Still waiting for the follow-up email they promise to send.

England have world class facilities where they don't play a minor sport like rugby league hours before the England National Team play in the same venue. Only in Australia do "we" relegate our soccer team to second class status. The field will be a mess by Saturday.
