Greekoz

I ended up watching the game on Skai. For those of you who have the Greek mainstream channels for free via Kodi you should be able to watch the Estonia game as well in a few days.

Another disgusting display against apoel 2nd half in particular. This team has no identity, awful defence, very little creativity in midfield and no firepower to scare even a european minnow. Half of tonights starting 11 are not fit to be at the club, how the f does da costa still a game? Anyway bento wont survive a 3rd loss in a row, i see a 0-1 against aek as well. Yes i know we hit the post and had 2 chances cleared off the line and the apoel keeper made 1-2 excellent saves but the performance was so disjointed it got exactly what it deserved and thats a defeat.

We did it 3-2 over oakleigh, what a game, what an atmosphere, my voice is gone, champions of Victoria for a record 10th time. no way the crowd was just 4,200, I'm pretty sure they chucked the gates open just before kick off and many weren't scanned, easily between 5-6k. The ffv showed again they're useless at organising an event by not opening the opposite grandstand, the front and back of the main stand was so packed you could hardly walk through.

Hellas v oakleigh grand final 5.30pm next Sunday at lakeside, everyone get down there.

We did it beat Alexandros 2-1 to make the grand final, heidelbergs first loss of the season at home, we conceeded straight from the kick off after 15 seconds and we thought here we go again, 2 goals in a minute in the 2nd half turned it around. not only a great win but to send that prick Archie Thompson into retirement is so sweet.

Been a while since I updated so this is how things stand. hellas smashed Hume 3-0 tonight in the elimination final, should have won by a lot more. means next week we have a showdown against Alexandros in the semi final at Olympic village, for those not aware they have Archie Thompson and they're expecting a huge crowd next Saturday night. We will be heavy underdogs but anything can happen in finals so fingers crossed we put in a decent performance, they massacred us 5-0 last time but our lineup is much more settled now.

Amazing effort! And to beat a german in the final makes it all the more sweeter. Deservedly she will become the face of greece now.

Blackhawk was putting up a list of athletes with greek roots competiting for other countries, so surely he counts.

You missed the Greek American kid that got the bronze in fencing.

Were they going off an ioc script or something? Because the 2 broadcasts mentioned almost identical things.

Apparently when the skops came out the channel 7 Australia and nbc America coverage labelled Alexander the Great and Phillip as 2 great Macedonian athletes or something along those lines, anyone watch it? Social media is lighting up. What a slap in the face.

The fall out from this debacle will be interesting to see. These players would not be wanting to return to greece right now. The season is effectively over before its started, generally our year dies around christmas. If anything this will surely pave the way for a genuine title race. This team could realistically slip to 3rd or 4th in the super league. Where are the goals going to come from? May as well forfeit the europa qualifiers cos whoever we draw we wont be winning.

Simply disgusting. Wont qualify for the group stage of europa either.

Santos is a results based orientated coach which IMO is perfect for international football. His philosophy is to make his teams hard to beat irrespective of game style. He would have have found a way to get us to this tournament I have no doubt about that. Yes his 3 draws in the group stage looked terrible on paper but with the new format 3 points and a 0 Gd is all you need to get through, as I said he finds a way. The only thing that annoys me is dumping ranieri so quickly, obviously he looks a million bucks now after what he did at Leicester, but having him go through a failed qualifying campaign would have given him enough time to see how to build this team in a new qualifying campaign, with skibbe we are sort of back at square one late 2014 as the games he has coached have basically been dead rubbers.

as the host country a deep run is not a huge surprise, but klinsmann got lucky most of the way through aside from the Costa Rica game. I don't see how the team has moved forward quality wise under klinsmann, the best soccer I've ever seen the US play was the 2002 World Cup. And 2010 wasn't bad. As far as Landon Donovan goes clearly it was personal, but a player of his experience would have been perfect to bring on late in games, he delivered in major tournaments, wondolowski is just a typical MLS finisher who will score against crap concacaf teams.

Think it's time for the US to part ways with klinsmann, what's he done that American coaches hadn't done before him? Negative coach thats taken them about as far as he can, they have some good young talent coming through like pulisic, nagbe etc but he sticks with duds like wondolowski, still can't believe that idiot didn't take Landon Donovan to the last World Cup. Playing on home soil and can't even get a single shot away.. That's on top of the Ecuador game where klinsmann takes off Dempsey (reliable goal threat) and then looks surprised that no one can hold the ball up front...Ecuador could have scored 5 goals in the last 10 mins, his substitutions and game strategy are laughable.

I'm almost ready to pull the plug on this club, humiliating 4-0 cup defeat at bentleigh tonight and once again not only do we Fail in a big game but we get embarased. No idea how these s%$#! cvnts are top of the league, and the coach can get F***ed as well, sick to death of our dour defensive style of play. Our club was built on attacking football and having a go, everything the club stands for is being ripped to shreds, I don't care if we lose but do it the south way go down swinging, no Fkn 10 men behind the ball treating some hack suburban team like they're barca playing at the camp nou.

I find the Australian media to be very tiring after all these years, every soccer headline in the past use to be "soccer shame"..now they have added terrorist to the list of buzz words they use to try create a storm. They could not find one instance of violence yet that's how they reported it. So many news worthy stories out of Melbourne that they could have run this week and they picked out a festive football crowd to pick on, they thrive on it. Could you imagine if Australia was filled with Latinos who are even more hardcore than us European wogs? They would die lol. This will die down and then next week they will run a Bernard Tomic or nick Kyrgios story to run just to keep the casual racism ticking over. I just try tune out now.

Pretty horrible day to be a Greek in Melbourne, we are getting hit pretty hard today, front page of herald sun, radio, you name it. Never seen So many racist online comments in my life. Our "hooligans" are dominating all media platforms in the city today, hate this place sometimes.

I honestly believe our players backed out a little in the 2nd half fearing injury, vellios wanted to smash one of the Aussie defenders, one of the commentators said at half time that if if was a serious match Australia may have received a few red cards, don't get me wrong we commited lots of fouls as well but they were actually smashing our players. The last 10-15 minutes were a hell of a lot more comfortable then I expected. I'm really glad we won this game because the pedigree of our players is just so much higher then the aussies, we put them in their place, if we just had that one extra creative outlet like fourtounis to pick out the right pass we could have had a huge win.

Yep set pieces are our Achilles heel. 33,000 crowd

Best organised we have looked for a long time, Australia only threatened from corners, never looked like doing anything in general play. I believe we were happy to drop off more in the 2nd half out of fear of the Aussie rugby players sending us to the hospital. Samaris was the stand out player on the field, we have a bit to work with here, add the missing players into the mix as well. Obviously the 1st half was the standout, the high press and winning the ball in our attacking half, something that's not associated with our team.

Holebas should have made it 3-0..what a hit from maniatis

The best 10 minutes we have played for years! Keep it up boys

Lol @ channel 9 news, first question they ask the reporter outside the ground is if Greeks have caused any trouble, then they show footage of cops in riot gear walking outside the stadium. Says they're expecting 35,000.
