Technically Tziolis and Maniatis are with clubs. However, they're not playing so definitely should not be anywhere near the NT. The only coaches who selected players without clubs was Otto Rehhagel and Santos. Where at various stages Charisteas and Basinas played under Otto whilst Katsouranis went to India then finished up there and still walked in to the team.

You might be right, but Vellios is a much better (and younger) player than both Giannou and Papazoglou. He's a handy backup but I can't see him ever being the top striker for the Ethniki.

Exactly ThrylosG7. That was my point as well. The officiating seems to not favour anyone. There are dubious decisions going against the so-called cheats in Olympiacos as well.

Le Tallec's goal should have stood but given that there were 2 Atromitos players offside and probably obstructing the linesman it's just bad luck for Atromitos. If you read SDNA then there's this criminal conspiracy. Whenever a referee or linesman makes a mistake against Olympiacos' opponents it's all rigged. When the mistake is against Olympiacos it's human error.

Yes, thanks ThrylosG7 that's the clip. To my eyes that's technically a foul in the penalty area so a penalty.

I hate you guys!

The match was farely officiated. It wasn't without errors by the referee and his officials but both teams were impacted and to be fair, Olympiacos should have got a fair penalty. If you want to believe in conspiracy theories then read sdna.gr and their biased agenda.

Karelis came on as a substitute in the 78th minute and scored the winner in the 88th against Sint Truiden over night. He's up to 3rd top scorer with 6 goals from 10 matches.

Interesting that most of the people complaining about refereeing and bias about tonight's match ARE NOT PAOK supporters. I didn't watch the match so I can't comment but I detect that the match was fairly officiated.

How did Fortounis play? I saw the setup for the first goal and he was good.

Ok, only because you addressed us as "guys".

No hate. I don't rate him as player. Good luck to him.

Kala les. It's definitely the <<imo-papagalo>>

Is he doing the "kokora" or is he in some LA gang?

^ Thank you Mr Pauline Hanson. *News Flash* We live in a free county. Freedom to associate, to support, to think, to dream. YOU, not anyone else you address your ignorant post to, but you might want to move to the Islamic Republic of Iran or the Democratic People's Republic of Korea AKA North Korea as your view is more akin to the official state positions of these countries. Ante Geia.

Seriously, it's not worth this thread to degenerate in to an argument, so I won't be addressing Chris from Kiato. Red Sheriff, your post is essentially exactly how I feel so from me, a big Bravo for posting it.

Made the team of the week in Belgium as did Goutas.

He's clearly a gentleman. Staff also apparently had sex with Embolo's wife and being the gentleman he is, he did her from the front. Kyrios!!

Interesting. http://outsideoftheboot.com/2016/10/13/scout-report-konstantinos-stafylidis/

We had one total clown post here when Greece toured in June and pretty much said that anyone not supporting Australia was like supporting ISIS so I'm sure the various security agencies (AFP, ASIO, DOD) are already on to me.

What I meant was I was aware that Kalantzis (his Theia lived next door to my mum's sister in Earlwood) and Patikas weren't Anglo and neither was Alan Davidson nor the many Slavs who've come through the Australian team over the last 30 years, but that was never enough for me to feel a connection to the Socceroos. Iraklis toured Australia in 1984 and I didn't know much about them or Hatzipanagis but I supported them against Australia B or the full team. I probably supported the individual Greek players from memory. I recall Kalantzis scored a bicycle against Taiwan or Chinese Taipei as they were known then and I was happy for him but as I felt no real connection to the Socceroos it definitely hasn't changed any now with the disgraceful apartheid of the FFA and how they run the sport. As for the other sports, I am neither interested nor would I support the Wallabies or the cricket team and at the Olympics I know Anglo-Australians who think the hype and jingoism is beyond ridiculous.

For me personally I never support Australia (Socceroos). Maybe the only exception is against FYROM but I recall when Turkey came here to play a series a decade or so ago I was so indifferent I didn't care who won. Even as a little kid watching Katholos, Raskopoulos, Kalantzis I just never felt the pull of supporting Australia. From a really early age (like 4 years old) I was just very aware of my Hellenic identity as opposed to my brother who does support Australia (except against Greece) and takes it personally when they lose etc. I don't even care about being called a traitor or disloyal to Australia as I'm intelligent enough to know that if I really do live in a free state then I can follow any football nation I like. It's not like I'm selling state secrets to Kim Jong Il or to the Ayatollah's of Iran. If anyone has a problem with my position then it's their issue and not mine so just deal with it. Amen and Forza Hellas!!!

Again? Laszlo Murray must be turning in his grave.

I agree with everything you said. Especially about Vasilijev's head and not just his hair. He has the look of a younger John C. Reilly (the actor). He looks like my 8eio. What up with that?!?

Actually ausgreek I'd be happy with Taxi in the midfield somewhere... anywhere.
