We qualify out of easy groups; against Argentina Otto thought it was a brilliant idea to play a 9 - 1 formation.

No, defensive mids can't play like creative attackers; thats why we call them defensive mids! Different style of play. I know success doesn't mean winning tournaments; my point is for the most part we've played like s hit since 2004. Just advancing is not good enough; the team has to PLAY.

Mangas, an example of their "leadership" is what you just saw against a lousy Bosnian team. An example of their "leadership" is what you saw at Euro 2012 (so what if we advanced to the next round we played like s hit). The reason for the "sit back" mentality is because defense midfielders do just that; they won't open up and attack. If he continues to play defensive mids then you won't see anything different! Kats? Tziolis? Maniatis? Kara? Play Fetfa and Ninis and you won't see them sitting back, that is not their instinct or style, plain and simple. What do you mean its remarkable we've been successful with this style of play? We haven't been successful since 2004! Every appearance we've had in a Euro or WC since then has been trash!

Not sure why anyone would think keeping Kats and Kara even on the bench is a good idea since they show game after endless game they can't cut it. They're not creative, they f uck up the whole team and they should have been retired by now! End of story!

Mangas, bingo, thats the line up of players that would have won this game easily. Its really not so complicated but as long as you have these rejects like Santos and Kats in there it just won't happen.

Absolutely atrocious. They couldn't put together more than 2 passes. No communication WHAT-SO-EVER. This does not surprise me one bit. If anyone is interested, the problem is this gang of bums: Santos, Kats, Kara and Fyssas. As long as they're f ucking around behind the scenes, you'll keep seeing the same crappy football. These rejects must be REMOVED. Do you really want to see this team advance to the WC and get their asses whipped? When we clearly have the talent to put something great together? DO NOT support this team; demand that they go!

Santos playing his friends again: Kara and Kats, 2 guys who are past their peak, who can't do anything creative but will still get the call up even when they're 60. And Vyntra. Am I supposed to take this seriously?

Well I agree there; he has good skills, strong and quick. Why he stays at Celtic is just beyond me. It seems like he's had his time there so he should just move on. And anyhow his playing style would be better back in Holland, France or even Italy.

He really should go to a league that suits his style of play; the Brits don't so I see no reason for him to continue in England or Scotland...Spain would be better for him but so would Italy. I'm sure he would do very well in Serie A.

I don't really think a move to West Ham would be better for him; I think he should try another league that suits his style of play better. He developed playing in Holland and explained in an interview that he had to re-adjust his playing style to the Premiership. I think he would work better in Italy.

Good post, js.

Bravo Giorgos

Well his mullet is supposedly almost back so it might just work out for him in the end...if not, there are plenty of other teams who will be more than interested this summer.

:LOL: Looking forward to the games!

Wow, why did he not work out at Bayer? Portsmouth could very well be good for him though, I can see him doing well in the Premiership with his style of play. And Basinas?
