Yea I could see that. We've seen it before. Should see it again.

Club is a lateral move at best but Premier league is a nice step.

Am I the only one that thinks KPapadopoulos should be a shoe in on DM alongside Tax/Sam/Zeca?

Many reports out of some decent English outlets are saying that both Chelsea and ManU have Sokrati in their transfer shortlist this summer. Love him at Dortmund, but having just turned 29, it may be a great time for him to make the leap.

It would be nice to see the top two seeds make it. Europe will always be hard to make it out of though. Unless we win out, including vs Belgium, gaining a healthy number of FIFA rankings points, it is likely we will draw one of Spain, Italy, France, Portugal or the like in the playoffs. One step at a time though.

Kone, who will be 30 next month, can still compete for a callup next season. Same goes for Ninis who only recently turned 27. Samaras is done prematurely at 32. His career ended very suddenly; seems uninterested and may retire. But, yes, it's all about the next generation of Greek players planting their flag.

KPapadopoulos is too good to be left on the bench. He has to be on the pitch for his skill and leadership, even if that means playing him out of natural position at DM alongside Samaris or Taxi.

Although I am content with the draw, the fact that we basically blew what turned out to be two very winnable games vs Bosnia and Belgium, doesn`t bode well for us if we do end up making the playoffs. If they started today, Greece would draw either France, Italy, Portugal or Slovakia; 75% chance of a disastrous draw. We are ranked 40th and the next lowest 2nd place team is Northern Ireland at 28. We needed wins and I am afraid that if we don't get three points vs Belgium at home, we have no chance at being seeded come playoff time.

It only sometimes seems that Bosnia is better because of their aggressive style of play. Greece has more depth and more top class players. Bosnia would never do to Belgium what Greece did. That wasn't just a compact game, that was tactics and some highly skilled players executing. Yes, Bosnia was the more positive side in Athens, but we were missing Manolas and the only Bosnian goal came from a Pjanic set piece; not even through open play.
