Greekoz

2-2..10 seconds earlier dzeko was almost through to make it 3-1...scoring not done here Belgium need another,

Pretty clever though from the Bosnians to purposely choose a cow paddock for this game.

The problem is the pitch is so horrible Belgium have probably said stuff this we aren't risking injury, also all technical advantage they have has been negated by the pitch. The game is so open and Belgium are bad in defence in this game. i can see Belgium scoring, problem is I see Bosnia scoring as well.

Omg what a save from begovic

We might be dead, 2 gifts for Bosnia, horrible pitch, what incentive to Belgium have to come back now? This sucks

The idea of ordinary citizens in Australia owning guns is considered laughable, we don't need them for protection and quite frankly we don't care for them, unfortunately it seems to be a cultural thing in the US where it's bordered on obsession for many to own one.

South Melbourne v Sydney fc ffa cup semi final on Wednesday October 11, everyone get there and help pack out the stadium.

Its out of our hands now and we only have ourselves to blame from the previous result. Belgium have nothing to play for now and bosnia are more then capable at home. Not sure why anyone would be so sure that result will go in our favour.

Don't rule Bosnia out at home to Belgium, keep in mind Belgium will already be mathematically qualified and are likely to leave the bulk of its first team players out. They will also reclaim 2nd spot after this weekend most likely. its in Greeces best interests that Estonia beats Cyprus now (feel bad for saying that) because if we go there locked on 13 points each we are screwed. At best I can only see 3-4 points being picked up from the remaining games.

Belgium will wrap up top spot mathematically on sunday and then head to bosnia with its reserves. We butchered our chance to knock bosnia out of the running. As it stands i see bosnia finishing 1 point ahead of us. Lets hope we only lose by a few.

South Melbourne 5-4 Dandenong city down 4-1 until the 83rd minute and came back to win, we now qualify for the national stage of the ffa cup, crazy crazy scenes.

My parents can barely speak any English and they know how to use it, just play around with it for a few days and she will learn, its not that different to normal tv, once it's set up all the Greek channels will appear and she can just scroll up and down like a normal remote control, all you have to do is press ok to enter the channel. At worst it will cost you $30 for the box, if she finds it too hard you can just stick with what you have, definately worth a go.

an android box that's costs anywhere between $30-$50 will be enough to stream the Greek channels fine on Kodi, I got one of my cousins from Toronto onto it, paying for Greek tv now is pointless.

We could have potentially won the tie with kapino in goal and advanced.. but all that would have done is papered over the cracks. Besiktas destroyed us in both games we could hardly touch the ball. I hear people say tactically we were perfect in karaiskaki but leali ruined it..thats a load of crap..we sat back and bent over for them because we dont have the quality to play mbala..it was men v boys. Even if you take away the leali errors which cost us dearly in both games besiktas still should have scored a bucket load against us. Look at the derby yesterday we got smashed..kapino was the difference between losing 1-0 instead of 4-0...either way we look like losers no matter who we play now.

Spot on as far as today went the panionios loss at paok sucked the life out of the title race, would have been a far more intriguing derby if that result went the other way.

Wow 4..

Hmm 2-1 hopefully can keep it close

This could get ugly, no surprise really we could hardly touch the ball against them at home..this is to be expected.

The problem is we were chasing the ball around even before they scored, we were gonna fade the longer the game went, by the last 10-15 minutes it didn't even look like we were on the field. They grinded us down. It honestly looked like we were the away team for the Most part, could not string 2 passes together.

Pretty embarassing performance overall, shame the goal was a gift, will cop 3-4 there I think.

Adding to mainstream coverage channel 7 was at lakeside today, they will be running a story on 7 news at 6pm about our bid. Bill paperstergiadis will also be speaking on radio sen at 5.30pm.

Tasmania is untapped for a reason, if the afl wont even go there that tells you a lot. Its 500k in total but its split between north and south, this team would supposedly be based in hobart, thats about about 250k people. To give you an idea at how niche these proposals are like tassie and geelong..the greek population in melb alone almost outdoes them. I think the south bid is getting a little annoying as well. But i think theyre just rubbing it in the faces of the other bidders who are well behind. At least the links with chendo/carlos are real, tasmania releases a press release saying arnold would be interested in coaching them. The next day arnold laughs it off and makes a border line derogatory joke about tasmanians lol.

Don't think Canberra is bidding, they seem to have hooked up with the Mariners. wollongong is a huge threat, should have been in from the start instead of central coast. geelong worries me as well, huge 36,000 capacity stadium that's only used half a dozen times a year, has hosted athletio Madrid and acl games, if they can get a good lease that will get them over the line. I don't think they would be viable long term though, the AFL team was struggling financially up until recent years and the president has even said that 2 pro teams in an area that's been doing it tough lately will be difficult. if Geelong gets a cricket 20/20 team which appears to be far more advanced at this point then that would end the idea of an a league team, so it may come down to that. either way south would be extreme outsiders. Which is a joke in itself when you consider where the rest are at.

I'm hearing a Brisbane bid is struggling to get off the ground, no venue. south and Tasmania are the obvious 2, I have a feeling it will be the 3rd and 4th bids that will get licenses.

I agree south were never a chance 8 years ago, but at the time the Pr work was coming from south similar to this time around, nobody knew anything about Melbourne heart, I was actually at the presentation the club did back in 2008 to sell the idea to the members and I remember walking out of it thinking no other bid can match this, then before you know it we have a team called heart based out of an absolute dump at Latrobe uni. I don't think the bid was bad, it had money behind it back then, but this was pre ffa cup days and the dislike towards ethnic clubs appeared far greater. I remember talking to people and they would say it doesn't matter how good it is the ffa have already agreed to give the license to another group before the bidding process even started, they were right. this time the bid is much better coordinated, bill papestergiadis has a lot of influence around town, he even has the Greek newspapers backing the bid! The same papers that usually laugh at us. One of the key investors is actually sponsoring the npl team this year. So it's definately no gimmick, especially as bill helped the club lock down the stadium for the next 40 years on very generous lease terms. i still think the clubs best chance will be to take the wellington Phoenix license, they can't be touched until 2020 though, we will see 5 new teams enter in this 6 year broadcast arrangement, it's just a matter if they see south as one of the five, melb city struggling to draw crowds is not helping, even though I think south could go past them straight away. tasmania I can't see getting in, their bid sounds desperate which means they don't have the backing of the ffa or fox, no football code of any kind will plonk a team in Tasmania. im sticking with the bookies favourites south Sydney/Cronulla and Geelong, when the ffa release the criteria for expansion you will see these 2 come out of the woodwork.
