Well at least we didn't draw Italy I guess... Scary players on that Croatian team...

I hope that's the case...

I agree with you about the not conceding but as far as Manolas being okay we still don't know if he will be ready or cleared to play for us as they're saying he needs roughly 4 weeks..

If you look at the teams ahead of Greece they have no business being rated higher then us but I guess two losses to the FI and Luxembourg will do that to us..

Manolas confirmed out 3-4 weeks...

I thought they would have at least moved up a little bit.. WTF

Looks like Skibbe wants to stay and has told the Epo but they want to wait to see if he makes the World Cup before they commit to him.. The Epo has also noted they haven't been big fans of his call ups.. http://www.agonasport.com/agonasport-allnews/skibbe-wants-to-stay-epo-waiting-for-playoffs

To soon to tell about Manolas as they still need to do the scan to see what she wrong..

Agree Kpaps is good but not on Manolas level.. I think his absence will really dent our chances.. let's pray he makes it back as we can't afford to lose any of our top defenders as that's what this team is built around..

^Agreed Skibbe definitely needs carry a back up for Toro. kpaps can do a good job but by not having Manolas I think would lower our chances of advancing... I just think he's that important to this team.. Lets hope whatever the injury is that he somehow recovers in time which looks doubtful right now..

Yup Manolas doubtful for the playoffs... http://www.sport24.gr/football/EllinesExoterikou/apoxwrhse-koytsainontas-apo-to-olimpiko-o-manwlas.4891524.html

oh man what a huge blow to the team.... F***

if we end up beating the seeded team we play who ever it is to get in to the world cup then we should make a pretty big jump.

Looks like Fifa.com will live stream the draw. The draw will take place in Zurich on Tuesday 17 October and will be live streamed (14.00 local time) on FIFA.com, YouTube and Facebook. At the draw, the eight participating teams will discover which nation stands between them and a place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Eight teams will compete in Round 2 of UEFA’s qualifiers for Russia 2018 and these home-and-away play-offs will determine the remaining four sides that will represent their continent on the global stage next year.

Thanks I guess ill have to do the same.. I was hoping sports net or tsn would broadcast it..

The more and more I think about it I would rather go in this order of who we draw. 1)Denmark 2)Crotatia 3)Swiss 4)Italy

Does anyone know if it will be televised?

Really good read about Skibbes call ups and style of play. http://www.agonasport.com/agonasport-allnews/ethniki-glass-half-empty-or-half-full

Perfect explanation. http://www.agonasport.com/agonasport-allnews/20170210-2?rq=nations league

So what do you guys think would you rather start at home or on the road? And remember away goals mean a lot..

I personally don't think they will sabotage the draw at all. But I do think who ever Italy plays the refs will be giving Italy every advantage to win the game as Fifa needs the Italians in the tournament.
