Irlandos

Drakos is right: the Germans have faith in our players and give them opportunities, the English do not.

My emotions are mixed also: scored some nice goals for us but was out more often than one would like. Also can't get along with the coach. OK,now with Blanco seemingly dropping back and Nathan Burns not having much of a scoring touch, where are we expecting the goals to come from, the midfield?

It is said that former coach, Gordon Strachan, convinced Lennon to choose Samaras to spearhead his attack. Hopefully, this showing will get "Sam" some more playing time to show off his skills!

UN-BE-LIE-VA-BLE!!! :tup:

Why don't you tell Zico you made a horrible mistake and get him back? :P

Giorgos Samaras handed Celtic a ticket to the playoff round of the CL. The game was 1-0 to Glasgow Celtic - which equalised the 1-0 win by Dinamo in Scotland - until the 90' when Samaras scored for the final 2-0.

Modern jerseys based on the mid-1960s ones! I like it! :) When will our management do the same? :huh:

I knew it was quite serious. After an injury like that, we don't know if Georgalidis will be the same. If that's the case, he will be moving on. If he's back (and we all hope so!), journeyman Sidibe will be let go. Just my opinion!

Georgalidis is injured, isn't he? :huh:

Who's next? Robbie Fowler??? :tdown:

I guess that's better than losing him on a free transfer? :huh:

That's what happens when you read the Daily Mail...You only get half the story. Athens leapt into the 21st Century thanks to the 2004 Olympics but the English press keeps on about doom and gloom for London in 2012. Btw, the Daily Express is even worse!

2 silver, 2 bronze... :whistle:

AT LAST something to cheer about! His final match is in less than 1 hour! All the best to this Nikolaidis! * *and the other one

Where in Beijing was that played??? :P

You want more! :blink: August 20 was not a good day for Greece! Hopefully, tomorrow will be better

Greece loses to Argentina 78-80...

Kaklamanakis finished 8th (outside the medals) and Kostas Douvalidis was eliminated in the semi-finals (he would have had to break the Greek record again to qualify). Let's see how our basketball team does :rolleyes:

In my days zip was being invested in athletics. Double-zip for women. Anyone know what the story is now? Btw, our water polo team defeated China. I think the score was 13-8. Kaklamanakis has a good chance for a medal in sailing, later in the day. Also, our basketball team plays Argentina in the quarters. :gr:

I read yesterday that one of the athletes caught on performance-enhancing drugs was a shooter (skopeftis). How on earth do drugs enhance the performance of a shooter? :blink:

Results 18/8/2008: *Stella Papadopoulou qualified for the finals in the hammer throw. :) *Kostas Douvalidis qualified for the next round in the 110m hurdles. :) *Greece defeated PR China in basketball 91-77 :tup: *Spain - Greece 10-6 in water polo :tdown:

A big BRAVO to Pigi Devetzi! :tup: She competed cleanly and brought back a medal once more in the Olympics for Greece! :gr:

Say it ain't so, Fani... :(

Louis Tsatoumas has qualified for the finals in the long jump! :gr:
