  1. Does anybody have any idea when they’re going to announce to call ups for the September 7 game? I figured it would’ve been done by now. Also interested to see if Fortounis gets called up this time since he’s playing well.
  2. At the end of the day like some guys said already France had to rely on a penalty to beat us. We held our own and we showed we won’t be an easy out for any team. This to me even though we lost was a huge confidence booster and we are really starting to show that this team is starting to put it together and hopefully have leave the dreadful years behind us. I haven’t read one negative article or listened to one negative podcast about how Greece played. Everything was very positive even from the French media. In September we play in Holland first and then against Gibraltar at home. Netherlands plays us and then go into Ireland. At the very least if we can get a draw against the Netherlands we should easily get 3 points against Gibraltar which will still keep us ahead of them. Hopefully they also drop points in Ireland. This is the first time in years where I actually feel optimistic about this team.
  3. The way France was able to score after retaking the penalty was so unlucky. But even though we lost this was another step in the right direction for this team. I truly believe we are starting to turn the corner. 2nd place is very doable and worst case Turkey looks good to qualify so that makes our chances even better in the nations league if we need it.
  4. It sucks because without Mavros boneheaded play we could have taken a point out of this match.
  5. Let’s not forget France beat the Netherlands 4-0 in the first game.. This team is in a class of its own..
  6. Big game today.. getting one point today would be huge for us... Going to be very difficult.
  7. I feel the same Pelkas can’t be our best option as starter. Mantalos is hit and miss for me as he shows flashes of playing well but then disappoints.. You are right we can’t just rely on Bakasetas to score we need our strikers to start scoring regularly by somehow getting them more involved in the game, it seems to me like our strikers are only involved when there is a scramble in the opposing teams box. Maybe they are playing too deep and they need to back out a bit and create more space for themselves in order for the other players to use them as a passing option. I’d like to see a few changes to the lineup against France but then again, do you mess with a winning lineup right now? Let’s see..
  8. Absolutely Huge win for us… Poyet has found something with this team and it does seem like we are finally learning how to win and we are starting to build an identity. I know the game was close, but for me, Ireland was not in the same class as us today. The team is starting to put a lot of pressure on opposing defenses. They are sharing the ball and and starting to find openings.. This was a huge confidence booster for the boys. Bakasetas went from one of the most hated players on this team to possibly one of if not our best player right now and he’s looking like a true leader out there. I’m not expecting miracles, but if we can take something out of that France game that would be absolutely huge not only for the standings, but for the players overall confidence. Overall fantastic performance we slowed down at the end when we had a one goal lead and we gave Ireland some opportunities but overall huge three points.
  9. We deserve to be ahead. You can’t give the game away like that we had full momentum we were all over them and then the first chance Ireland get they score and swing the momentum.
