  1. Yeah. I can’t seem to find any decent highlights on the internet.
  2. Totally agree. The young ones have proven they are ready. They turned the 1st leg around against Scotland and dominated in the 2nd leg! The 3-0 win could’ve been more. We are still waiting on the inclusion of both Kostoulas and Tzimas too.
  3. I really hope this player joins us. We need a tall CDM that can tackle well. Also someone to provide back up to Zafeiris and Mouzakitis. I believe he can replace Kourbelis soon, since he’s getting older and playing in Saudi. https://greekherald.com.au/sports/nectarios-triantis-withdraws-from-socceroos-training-camp/ He has also withdrew from the Australian squad. We have friendlies coming up so let’s see if he has decided to represent Greece.
  4. I believe if your good enough your old enough. As shown in our last game the young guys can go. They’ve even lifted the team at a higher level. Χριστός Ανέστη
  5. Looks promising. He’s the captain for the u19s for Inter aswell.
  6. EPO and Jovanovic are looking at possibly bringing in Nectarios Triantis in. He’s a CDM/CB that plays for Hibernian in Scotland. On loan from Sunderland. Born in Australia to Greek parents. We need someone tall and physical in the 6 role. Would be good for depth too. He has been called up for Australia but didn’t play. So let’s see. https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/sunderland-player-international-tussle-snub-5053715
  7. We are all hoping Tzimas makes it in the epl with Brighton. But I agree that the young Greeks should go to a Portugal or Holland etc to build themselves up more before going to a higher level league. Germany seems like the best destination for Greeks for some reason. Italy not bad either. England has been the most challenging.
  8. I actually thought Giakoumakis was always good but he’s hitting 30 so better off going to Pavlidis, Ioannidis, Douvikas and Kostoulas. Kostoulas can play ST. Thats where he’s played his whole youth career but Olympiakos he used more as a 10 or wide player. I think we should use him out wide for Greece we need more depth there. Agreed about Tzolis. He’s our best and will be a lock on the wing years to come. I think Zafeiris has replaced Siopis in the line up. Also Mouzakitis showed he’s a bigger upgrade to Mantalos. I don’t see Mantalos in the squad for much long.
  9. Players like Bakasetas, Mantalos, Kourbelis and Siopis should be done. Some should leave completely and some should be benched. You can’t bench Delias or Karetsas. How can you? Both help each other and overall make the team better. What I know from the young guys is that Tzolis and Koulierakis are permanent starters and rightly so. Tzolakis also has made case for himself. Zafeiris were most people’s 2nd man of the match after Delias. Mouzakitis is our best midfielder in my opinion. He’s only 18. I don’t think any could get past him. The only time was when he got a yellow. Also look at Karetsas goal. Was started by Mouzakitis with his nice pass down to Giannoulis. Great team goal. Gives us hope that these young guys made this team win 3-0 away against a very physical Scottish team and they held their own. Could’ve also been 4 or 5-0 too. For Greece your better to trust the younger players than the experienced, it’s the way it is for us.
  10. Just curious, will the coach put out the same starting 11 that beat Scotland 3-0(with everyone healthy ofcourse) in the next game. I would. I know the next game is a friendly but when it comes to the qualifiers I would put the same team. Players like Karetsas, Zafeiris, Delias, Mouzakitis have cemented there spots in my opinion. What does everyone else think?
  11. Such a great win! It could’ve been more. I’ve been saying this for years… trust our youth! We looked so much better this game. The best players should always be in the starting 11 and it just so happens that our best players are our youngsters. This team that started should start again next game. Some of our experienced players are not good enough and don’t have the quality to make this team go to tournaments. Some should be on the bench and some not even included in the team.
  12. I was impressed with the team's performance in the second half. Karetsas was outstanding and deserves a starting spot in the next game. However, I felt that some of our more experienced players underperformed. Siopis, despite his energetic efforts, struggled with passing accuracy and decision-making. Mantalos seemed sluggish and failed to provide sufficient support with his forward passes. While Mantalos showed promise, his execution was lacking. In my opinion, Tsimikas is no longer an effective player, and it's time to consider replacing him. Similarly, Masouras had a slow start and was correctly substituted at halftime. Konstantelias, on the other hand, brought a refreshing energy compared to Bakasetas. Delias's ball control is a valuable asset to the team, and Karetsas's talent enhanced the team's overall performance. Tzolis was unfortunate to miss his chances, but he, along with Delias and Karetsas, should be considered for starting roles more often. Although I liked the substitutions, something was missing. It's clear that we need to upgrade our midfield. With Siopis suspended for the next game, I'd like to see Alexandropoulos given a chance. Alternatively, Zafeiris would be a decent replacement. I've heard criticism of Ioannidis, but I believe he's a valuable player. His pressing, timing, and positioning are excellent, despite an off-day with ball control. I'm confident he'll bounce back in the next game. For the upcoming match, my preferred lineup would be: Tzolakis Vagiannidis Mavropanos Koulierakis Tsimikas Mouzakitis Alexandropoulos Karetsas Delias Tzolis Ioannidis
  13. Tzolakis for sure should start. Most inform player. Mandas 2nd choice and Vlachodimos 3rd choice now. Still would have Vlachodimos on the squad. He has experience and would be able offer something still. But yeah Tzolakis should be the 1st choice now.
  14. This is huge! I hope to see him play in March.
