We played hard today and if it wasn't for one mental breakdown we would have had at least a point today. Skibbe I think should have left Staf in since he was playing a good game. Samaris is over rated and is not that good to be honest but we don't have many options. Kyraikos is made out of glass so he cant be relied on to stay healthy. My problem is definitely with Skibbe as if we would have had this line up minus Sokratis against Estonia I believe we would have scored and I strongly believe giving Tioliz and Vellios 90minutes of playing time really screwed us in that crucial must win game. Skibbe without a doubt was looking ahead to the Belgium game with the players he choose against Estonia and that was a horrible coaching move. I also blame Skibbe for not calling up guys that are performing better like Laz, Fetfa, and so on. Guys like Bak, and Dimantakos dont cut it. Tziolis should never play 90 minutes there is no logic in this move as he is slow and sloppy. If Kone starts playing I also would love to see Kone, Laz and fetfa come up. No one is saying they need to start but they would be 100 times better options then we have now coming off the bench. But knowing Skibbe I'm not holding my breath.

I just don't see Bosnia screwing up this gift we gave them by not beating Estonia.. I think they will beat Belgium B side and they will beat Estonia.

I guess all we can do now is go out and win both games and see what happens as it's out of our own hands now. Bosnia is thinking the same thing. Bosnia also beat Estonia 5-0 last time they played them.

That's the other problem even if we somehow take 2nd it's looking now like we may be the worst 2nd place team and not go through anyways.

The Estonia game will completely keep us out of the World Cup playoffs.. no question... 1 point out of a possible 6 is not the result that Keeps you in the World Cup running.. I fully expect a hungry Bosnia team to beat a Belgium team that has absolutely nothing to play for... I personaly don't think we will beat Cyprus on the road but regardless Bosnia are now favourites for the 2nd spot and I truly think they will take advantage and secure that second spot.. I see Bosnia taking there final 2 games.

If Belgium win they will have nothing to play for against Bosnia witch will F*** us.

Wtf man why are we just handing it to them F***

1-2 Belgium

Zeca Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaal

Belgium goal

Lykogiannis in for Staf.. Why Staf has been playing a great game.

Half time 0-0 Greece were very impressive and had te better chances great job.. hopefully they can keep it up in the second as I expect Belgium to play better.

Wow Greece with the pressure

F*** Staf hit the post.. F*** me so close

Wow what a run for Donis this boy is for real...

Wow... So it's a two man race between us and Bosnia again since Cyprus lost.

Ya Mitro is out for sure.... I agree Donis is a play maker not a finisher... Looks like Skibbe is not even thinking of trying to win this game as he has chosen to park the bus and play for the tie. The problem with this method is Belgium will have 90% possession and I fear they will be able to sneak a couple in.

Greece is going with the 4-4-1-1 http://www.sport24.gr/football/ellada/ethniki_elladas/me-4-4-1-1-kai-dwnh-sthn-koryfh.4828970.html

I know we got a great result in Belgium last time but I fear this time we will lose handily..

Skibbe is finally getting criticism from the Greek press for his selections..

Any word on Mitro?

Right now Bosnia is in a much better positions even though they're 1 point behind. Belgium hasn't officially clinched first yet so they will come out and play there ass off to get the win and stamp there ticket to the World Cup.. once they do that then they will rest there starters and tinker with there line up and try some bench players against Bosnia which will give Bosnia who will be hungry a good opportunity to pull off a win.. Also now that Cyprus is back in they will play us as hard as possible.. Skibbe and our players royally screwed us with that draw.

I also strongly believe we blew our chance at second yesterday as well. All we needed was to beat Estonia at home and Instead we played afraid to give up a goal. I don't think we had a shot on goal the entire second half... That's embarrassing. After Sunday we will be in third place and depending how many goals we eat we might be in fourth if Cyprus beat Estonia handily and we get blown out. Did Skibbe not know this was a MUST WIN GAME?? Why take the chance with regular bench guys on the biggest game of your campaign?? Very disappointed with that result and Skibbe selections..

What Skibbe only sees this now?? are you serious??? of course guys that don't play regularly are going to tire easily and not be sharp... The fact that he is mentioning this now after so many games when he consistently calls up guys that don't play makes him an idiot. We have Laz who should be called up who is playing well, we should have Fetfa called up and other guys that are getting regular playing time.. Win or Lose Skibbe is making the wrong decisions and eventually its going to catch up with us. I know he has been able to get results by playing more of a defensive system which is fine but he could play that system and still have more talented and inform player's playing.
