His presence alone will lift his teammates. I really hope he's not done. He wasn't great at Milan.

Australia won't get the WC any time soon. Too many interests within the country working against football (soccer).

Keep us all updated, Pash. Minute by minute would be awesome.

I know full well about the accuracy of Wikipedia. I contribute frequently on various subjects and have seen entries that are meant as pranks or to ridicule the subject. On a page like AEK FC's this would get vetted and checked regularly. There's a section on Meli being the owner so it's not just someone trying to provoke.

Che is my new hero. Bravo re. Pes ta!

Wikipedia lists him as the official owner of AEK. Is that not officially correct, then?

I don't care for Holebas because I get the feeling that behind the scenes he's not interested in representing Hellas. So why keep up the charade that he will get back in to the team. His days as an international are probably over. Let's look to the future.

I'm not sure what the hate for Lazaros is. The guy has the rare ability to take on players and draw 2 and 3 players on him. He wasn't that bad against the Hungarians and if he played a final ball instead of holding on to it he could have opened up space for a teammate. His dead ball delivery is levels above what we had with karagounis the last 2 years. The only concern is his lack of regular playing time with Hellas.

Ninis has to play. He can create against these minnows.

Original Sydney, I can picture having a wank in the new stadiums bogs. Good stuff!

The Faroe Islands aren't easy beats anymore. Germany only beat them 3 nil at home for the 2014 World Cup qualification. So forget about this idea that we "should" beat them by 5 or more. Just fuggin win. 1 nil or 2-1. Whatever.

I agree with some of what SammyPAOK says but I would also have Klaus and Vellios. Vellios is playing in Denmark and the Faroese have players in the league so he would know what to expect.

I haven't seen it. Guy at work said he walked out of it. I get all my film reviews from him, so I'm happy to accept his review as gospel. He's a Serb and because he's like my "brother" I value his opinion.

Produced and directed by a Greek. I've heard the film is a saxlamara.

^ stereotype much?

I can't argue with a lot of what you said, John. The IMF has stated that the austerity measures tied to the bailouts were too harsh. There has to be a better way for both Greece and the creditors. I will add that there's a distinction between the EU and European Zone (EZ). The biggest mistake made not only by Greece but by Germany and the other players was joining the single currency. Greece has been a member of what's now the European Union for close to 35 years. We didn't need the euro then but probably need it more now.

Different style of football. It's more physical in the Championship. Not saying he will gain a place on Leverkusen's roster but I'm sure it's a better environment for his game.

Welcome back GrkCdn!

Poor Samaras. What a wasted talent. Sitting in an air conditioned hotel suite in the Arabian desert sipping ice tea is relaxing but he will forever be spoken if with some regret.

Good strikers goal. If Mandzukic scored that goal some guys would be jerking themselves stupid. I say he should get a call up against the Faroes as they play a similar style to their big brothers the Danes so Tolis should be well prepared and know what to expect.

That's disappointing. I hope that feeling stays with these kids so they try harder.

Original Sydney, be careful what you wish for. Fat boy would be up for that challenge.He'd pin you down and "tackle" you from behind. ????

Paidia, I'm joking about Karnezis. My post was in reference to some (specifically a certain Canadian poster who likes to debate incessantly) who have never forgiven Karnezis for his poor WC. I honestly believe he's the best Greek goalkeeper in 30 years. Easily better than anyone since Sarganis. The guy was a major reason that Granada escaped relegation last year in La Liga. He had so much competition when he returned to Udinese that many experts were predicting him to be loaned out again or to be challenging for the 2nd GK spot but he's owned the number 1! He's deserving of the praise and speculation of a transfer to a bigger club.

Getting so many cards is either a sign he's not fit/quick enough for that standard or that he's got a bad temperament. Now I don't think he's out of his depth so I have to question his attitude. Getting so many cautions is silly. I don't remember him being so combative in the Greek league.

10 million Euro? Nope not worth it. Have Inter seen the footage of him against Japan at the World Cup where he dived in to his own goal? If he didn't dive in to his goal then Japan wouldn't have scored.
