The only smart move was Giannatos coming on which I think he should have started to begin with, the kid deserved the shot after the Netherlands game. Horrible decision to have Tziolos come in. We new the game was won when we were up 4-1 so why not add more fire power like Karelis and Holebas? instead a useless Vellios comes in. The thought process of Skibbe really doesn't make sense with those selections. Samaris needs to get his s%$#! together and clean his act up as he looked horrible at times.

^Regardless if the rule applies or not we CANNOT compete in goal scoring with the likes of Bosnia and Belgium. We will NOT out score those teams. The only way Greece goes to a playoff is by be getting more points then either Belgium or Bosnia which will most likely require a win over one of these teams. If it has to come down to goal differential then Greece has NO CHANCE to qualify. When did we become one of the worst teams defensively? We can't shut out teams at all and this is a huge problem. Gibraltor against good teams barely register one shot on goal yet alone score and then create 3 or 4 more dangerous scoring chances. That's a bigger problem then only scoring 4.

^very true no matter what happens we will not have more goals scored then Belgium and Bosnia and I feel we do play better against better teams. Um just very concerned with Skibbe selections and his mindset behind it.. We played sloppy in the back end as well and allowed Gibraltor to have way to many chances and some grade A scoring chances.. Over all at least we got 3.

HT. Guys it's still ver concerning that we allowed the worst team to score a goal on us, the trend continues and if this continues and we allow the worst teams in soccer to continue to find the back of the net then we have no chance in this group. I Garuntee you Bosnia,Belgium,Cypress will not allow this team to score.

Thanks for the video it brought back great memories but also reminded me how good Bosnia are..look at the passion and the pride those boys played with, hopefully these guys bring that same type of passion and pride.

Mitro was great against the Netherlands but let's stop judging guys based on one good game. Mitro needs to be consistent. Yes it was a first step in the right direction but we need to stop getting so high on guys based on one game. Holebas didn't have a great game at all but his speed is so crucial to us that I will give him a pass and hope he plays better going forward. Karnezies needs to be a back up for this team not a starter as I would rather take my chance with Kapino in goal. Maniatis what he lacks In talent makes up with passion and heart and that's a good guy to have on the field. Over all a very satisfying performance co spidering what our results have been and who we've lost to. What worries me about this Greek team besides our defense is we seem to play down to our competition look at this, Poland draw Romania draw Romania lost by a penalty (winnable game) Turkey Draw Hungary Won Hungary Draw FI lost NI Lost Finlad Lost Luxembourg Lost Australia won Netherlands Won This concerns me when we play games against the weaker teams I feel like Greece don't bring there A game and take these teams for granted.

Boys great win great passing and some good finishing but to be honest our defence is very weak and if it continues there is no way we are going to qualify for the World Cup.. It is just a friendly and we beat a team who's confidence is maybe worse then ours. If you listen to the commentary by the Dutch before the game even they said "This Greece team should not pose any problems as there defence is weak and they have given up goals to the weakest of teams and they're not what they once were" on another note does anyone else feel better with Kapino in net rather than Karnezies? I have no confidence in Karnezis. Let's just not look at Belgium and Bosnia because there is a good chance Cypress will give us a run for our money and they won't be an easy opponent at all.
