Greek Style

Guys didn't watch the game but Mitro looked quite lively in the highlights. Turned in the box and had a great chance deflected off target and his link up play with Fortounis was good. He just needs some support up front, at Benfica with Jonas alongside the two work hard for each other. Sometimes Jonas scores and sometimes Mitro scores. With Samaris he's been playing at CB for Benfica for the last two months, perhaps this affected his game a little?

Some nice play on the ball there from Samaris.

Hahaha WTF the m#$%! has been sent from Germany to complete the fking over of Greece by Germany.

German national team[edit] He gave up this post after being offered the position as director of the German national team. In 2000, he became its head coach.Rudi V?ller, however, made most of the decisions, but didn't have a coaching license and thus couldn't be the official head coach. After Germany was eliminated in the first round of UEFA Euro 2004, V?ller and Skibbe resigned from their positions. Skibbe was director of the youth system of the German Football Association from 24 August 2004 to 8 October 2005.

He was hired as the successor of Sergio Markari?n due to the team's unsuccessful qualification for UEFA Euro 2016.[19] What in the world gave them the idea that he could succeed with us?

Can't believe this s%$#! FFS. Finally a coach unlocks the secret to attacking Greek football and he's replaced by a stubborn defensive Germano. W

Epic finish. Coming along very nicely now. The future of the Ethniki.

And yes we can support Cyprus.

OMG, even Albania have qualified automatically! WTF how are we not in this Euro. What a Greek tragedy.

Hate to say it but we were all wrong about Santos, he had us over achieving no doubt now. Would kill to have him back as well as a fit katsou and kara. These guys played with passion. I mean FFS Tziolis? The guy has been proven to not be good enough many a time. We need to bite the bullet and build for the future.

Yeah nah, if he's no good he wouldn't have been playing like earlier in the season. He forced his way into the team and kept his position. You are assuming he was no good for them on the basis of what?

Samaris is a great distributer, even for the Ethniki. Katsou used to cop it for lack of movement off the ball as well but I guess as a DM that's what happens.

Anyone know if Samaris played for Benfica against PSG?

This. Disgusting breed of person.

Someone needs to put a ******* :xxx: in that German ***** Merkel. All the Germans can GAGF, disgrace of a country with disgusting people. Note: I edited your post; please refrain from terroristic threats or inappropriate language in this forum. Athinaios

I actually really like what he had to say. Everyone is hurting. We need to rediscover our identity and we need to start preparing for WC 2018 qualification.

Re I can't believe it is minimum 3 years until we see the Ethniki in a big tournament again. Heartbreaking stuff. I am gutted. This feeling will be multiplied X100 12 months from now when countries are gearing up for the Euro 2016 and we are practice bunnies for them in useless friendlies. Fk me this is really fkd up.

Karneizs beaten at his near post though.....almost criminal.

I agree with most of that but I disagree with the Mitro rating. I thought he was really good and as I posted earlier, scored a cracker of a goal that was wrongfully disallowed.

And WTF is up with those sunglasses FFS.

double post

A little harsh by myself, spoken in the heat of the moment, after the game. You have to admit you do speak some serious m*****es somethimes though. We do have the right foundations to build on. And I thought Mitro was great today, got into good positions, had plenty of chances and scored an absolute blinder which was wrongly disallowed.

BTW I would kill to have back Santos, the KK combo and be actually showing our faces come June next year because believe me boydes, that's when the real pain will start. At least I can barrack against those dumbass Germans fricking dirty bastards, been screwing Greece for years, dog is not a strong enough word to describe them.

Three of our back four play Champions League, our keeper is the most sought after keeper in Italy. Forum changes but you still speak the same m*****es. Kone must be the most overrated, overhyped player we have seen at the Ethniki, other than scoring a useless goal in a friendly vs Bolivia he has done three fifths of fk all in his games for us, he is as useless as they get on the right as well.

Plus if Romania are through they may drop their guard.
