Sad to see that about Sokratis. He is top level Greek talent, but the problem is with most Greek talent they don't have the mentality to succeed. On another note, funny to see Adrianno as the worse. Olympikaos is probably happy they never got him.

K. Papadopoulos did what few have done. He had the guts to go outside of Greece and test his luck. With Olympiakos he would be on their bench still.

Samaras is a lot like Haristeas. They both read the play very well and do numerous things well to create spaces for their teammates and or set them up. True, it would be nice to see Samaras score more often

I hope he goes to Germany. It seems that most of our top players are more suited for that league

Do you know what GLB is? They have a nice section of how their forums are run. http://goallineblitz.com/game/signup.pl?ref=22479974 Or yahoo Fantasy baseball forum. THere are options to find similar threads before you post yours. Similar to the posts since the last visit and a good search option. I just find it silly to have a discussion on Olympiakos-AEK in the Olympiakos forum and the same one in the AEK forum If you go to the main FAQ section you will see what I mean. I like the threads here. Just a thought. Maybe silly

I was thinking of a way that might be nice to see the whole Greek Soccer Forum. Have posts in lists. For example [uSER] [TEAM SUPPORT] [THREAD TITLE] [LAST POST] By clicking on any of these headings you could be able to reorganize what time of thread you want, but more importantly you can simply see all the action instead of navigating. Unfortunately the forum is slowing down and I would like to see more action here. I am no expert and maybe this suggestion is silly or not possible. Just my 2 cents worth

We don't need any players for this year. The team will win the league.

18,000 is not bad. the stadium looks great and it is positive for Greek soccer to see this. i wish the stadium was a tad larger though. i htink teams with aspirations need to have 25,000 seat stadium or more.

Marinakis has a point that Greek soccer needs to be cleaned up, it is his method that sucked.That article is garbage.

He should be fined for his outburst against the referee. These actions need to stop. Now mane referees will be scared of making such calls in fear of what might happen. I have a feeling the even Kolina (sp) would be criticized in Greece. Unacceptable. I did not like the call, but whatever, it was made. File a complaint in private and try to improve the refereeing.

Crazy, I did not know about point #1......I hope it continues if that is the case. As far as not playing the players up to the media..... THANK THE LORD...... I'm tired of owners and players promising things so the fans can like them. I actually like a lot of the things Marinakis has done......I just want to see a bigger Greek influence on the team. I know Vallas and he was made guarantees from Kokallis that were never panned out. From the sounds of it, Marinakis makes no guarantees. He holds people accountable.

We got a long way to have team cohesion like PAO

You got a point.It is just that I've been let down so many times and the whole state of Greek soccer frustrates me with all these mediocre foreigners getting playing time ahead of mediocre Greek players. Seeing lineups of Aris, PAOK, and OSFP filled with foreigners that just don't have it when I feel that there are good, hungry, Greek young players on the bench is hard. When OSFP had foreign players like Rivaldo, Zahovitc, Giovanni, Djoerdjevic I was all good. All these top notch foreign players. I just look at the guys OSFP has and they don't impress me that much. I mean we get rid of Kyrgiakos Papadopoulos of 3.5 million euro (great transfer by the way) but how much could we have gotten if he actually played more that 80 minutes all season. I would hate to see all these young Greeks not make it over washed out has been foreigners. This year it is the perfect year to not bring in half ass players and give our youth a chance to develop. I will keep my mouth shut on this matter from now on in and see how it unfolds.

Of course they are.....With us not competing in Europe this year, why take a chance to develop youth?

Olympiakos needs to build from within. When they (the higher ups) realize this, then we can move forward. We need a core.....We have non. Players Like Torosidis, Mitroglou, Fetfazidis, both Papadopoulos, Zairi, Mirallas, Galitsios, Vasilogiannis, Wanderson, Niklistiotis, Nemeth, Katsikogiannis, should be supported with players like Dudu, Rommedahl, Mellberg, Ibajaza, Riera. Until the Greek core is solid again, not spectacular, the team cannot move forward. They need to buiold from within and then bring in the missing pieces.
