  1. Thanks Dutch Eagle. I'm interested in how it plays out given the meddling of SYRIZA post the PAOK riot.

    Greece avoids expulsion from FIFA which is definitely a good thing regardless of what certain club owners wanted (Savvidis & Melisanidis especially).

  2. Aek66, I agree with you which is why I singled out Bakasetas' physique. The difference a lot of the time is strength, speed and fitness. In Greece they place less emphasis on it which is to the detriment of the sport.

    Forget this theory that technical players are superior to physically stronger players.

  3. Bakasetas with another 2 goals yesterday against PAOK should probably be on the plane to Australia. He's got a cracking left foot and I think I recall reading something about him having the highest number of assists this season.

    He looks like he has been physically working out too. He's built like a beast.

  4. The bad news is we still suck and defend set pieces like amateurs. The good news is we are scoring from free play and appear to play a semblance of decent football.

    Skibbe needs to concentrate on fixing these cheap goals from corners and free kicks though. Otto would be turning in his grave knowing we copped all 4 goals from either a corner or a free kick conceded outside the box in these last 2 friendlies.

    This stuff is rudimentary. We still give up these goals with Sokratis and Manolas too so they need to work on these basics.

  5. Amo I think you're being a bit harsh on the first half. I didn't watch the match either but from all the reports I read the 1st half was very good aside from that dumb goal we gave up.

    Oikonomou is highly regarded in Italy but his display has been rightly criticised. We were a total mess in the 2nf half and thankfully it was only 3 goals and not more.

  6. Has sat on the bench? If that's your definition of an international player then Australia is clutching at straws by rewarding players who haven't made a mark at their club.

    He's played more matches for Australia than for Lazio.

    I'm not saying he's not a talent as I want Greeks to prosper but if Greece was capping kids without first team football we'd rightly be critical.
