    Cyprus vs. Greece ( 7 October 2017, GSP Stadium, Nicosia )

    in Greek National Teams

    Posted

    Let's just sit back and enjoy the fact the we now control our own destiny again and that we've put our selfs in a position with a win over Gibraltar to be amongs the best 2nd place teams and at the very least we get to see the Ethniki in two crucial matches.. just for now let's forget the what if , the who the why and let's just enjoy the fact that we will have some really meaningful football coming up in November..  If Greece play like the did against belgium in both games they will NOT be an easy opponent to play against..

    ^Yes I will agree with you that we should have locked up second place and actually we had plenty of opportunities to do so. But realistically speaking Greece has never really qualified for a tournament with ease they usually always have to go to a playoff as they've never done it the easy way. Greece is and never was one of those teams that will hammer through qualifiers with ease bottom line they've just never been good enough when compared to the elites.. But I disagree that the teams waiting for the playoffs would be licking there chops to go a against Greece. Greece always plays the better teams hard and the weaker teams worse and that's because Greece cant play when they are forced to keep possession and force the game, Greece is good when they sit back take what's being thrown at them and then catch you on a counter. If your hoping Greece will ever become an elite team that's just not going to happen. Lets be happy if Greece can become a second tier team under the elites which is very respectable and still gives them decent chances to progress in tournaments.. After the last campaign which was an absolute s%$#! show at least they have come back and taken second in a much tougher group then we had for the euro qualifiers that we finished last.. Its a step in the right direction from last campaign..

    im reading in case scotland drops points to slovenia we'll also need slovakia to beat malta, dunno why. not saying it won't happening but still.

    No it doesn't matter what Slovakia do as they can't  catch us in points no matter what. Their result against Malta is irrelevant to us in only matters for Slovenia.

    now the waiting game.  But to be honest I don't think we will be lucky. 

    Scotland, wales and Croatia will Win their matches. To much on the line for them to screw up. If we do by a miracle get into playoffs Italy, Portugal/Swiss, Sweden, Denmark will be waiting for us. 

    We should have battled it out with Belgium for first not thus crap of praying for others to help us. 

    The FA has to be disbanded and start from scratch again. It's going to get worse

    I agree we should have battled it out with Belgium for first but bottom line we went toe to toe with Belgium and could have one the first game and should have gotten a draw in the second.. Belgium are a much better team then us. So you expect us to take first from Belgium but are afraid to play Denmark,Sweden ,Swis? Belgium are much better then those teams. There is nothing wrong with furnishing second in a group that has a much stronger opponent then our team.. at least we managed to finish second. The only down fall was the draw to Estonia.. I think Greece will bring there A game when they're the underdogs as we showed with Belgium.. let's just pray for one more result so we can get into the playoffs and who ever we draw we draw..

    For those that live in Toronto the Scotland game is televised tomorrow if anyone is interested.. as far as the line we had out there today I'm not a fan at all.. I'm glad we won but come on man we have better players that should be playing.. what is Skibbe thinking?? He has been criticized by fans and the entire media with his selections.. Anyways no need to be negative I guess today as all the results went our way and we have a chance to get into the playoffs and that's all we could have hoped for after the draw to Estonia..
