  1. Any streams for the game?
  2. Guys I've been looking at old footage from qualifying campaigns and tournaments. Both Euro 2012 and World Cup 2014 (both with Santos at the helm). One consistent I see from all the goals we scored and it's not all of them but the majority of the goals is Samaras had a direct hand in all of them. He either bombed the ball to Torosidis who one touched it to Salpi for that beautiful goal vs Romania in the World Cup playoff gm or with minutes left vs Costa Rica lobbed another one into the box that Katsouranis flicked on to Gekas who turned and shot the ball and Sokratis banged in the rebound to tie the gm which we eventually lost in penalties. The guy is a beast. i can clearly say that he was our biggest loss for the Euro 2016 qualifying campaign since he had no team and was never called up. I know we lost Kara and Katsouranis and Salpi but the key was Samaras. He was our most creative offensive player and we simply couldn't create anything offensively. I don't understand how no team has signed this guy through two transfer periods or why he just doesn't come and play in Greece for his last couple of years? The proof is in the pudding take a look at our goals and you'll see for yourself. The beautiful pass to Salpi when we eliminated the Ukraine in Ukraine, the one two with Samaris vs Ivory coast when Samaris scored then Samaras cool calm and collective scored that penalty shot that sent us to the final 16 for the first time ever. That goal vs Germany, also the wrong footed one vs Croatia in Greece, or the one two with Holebas on that fast counter-attack play that resulted in Holebas drilling the crossbar or how bout the hustle vs Croatia to outrun the defender and deliver a sitter for Gekas which as we all remember he missed. Let's give this guy some credit. We miss you Samaras. Find a team and get your ass back on the NT. We need you!!!! Makynia OUT!!!!
  3. Where can I watch the game? Any links?
  4. No problemos file and even at 30 he will be in his peak as a defender and probably playing at an even bigger club so we have nothing to worry about with Sokaratis.
  5. Rockafeller take it easy bro Sokratis is 27. Mas ton ekanes 30 already. Three more years plus he's a defender so his soccer life span is longer than a forwards.
  6. I agree andreas and I believe Skibbe is doing the right thing by going back to three central defenders thus freeing up Toro and Holebas to do their thing on the wings. This was the system Rehagel used and worked for us for many years. A lot of posters and fans of the Ethniki wanted to see a more offensive brand of soccer instead of what the experts called ugly soccer. In any case we tried and we saw the results. "Don't fix something that ain't broke" Now back to our tried and tested formula against the much hated Turks. We desperately need a win to build confidence going forward. I believe the boys can do this. Pame Elladara!!! On another note I am so happy Bosnia didn't get in. I remember how they thought they were the next coming of Germany when they beat us out in World Cup qualifications. Kala na pathoun. Won't be able to stand watching Albania and Turkey at the Euro and not us. Ti na kanis. We'll spend the summer shining our trophy lol. Makynia out!
  7. What was he impressed with exactly? His sidewards and backwards passing? He offered absolutely nothing and as a matter of fact the articles say when he came on in the 60th min our attack was cut in half and we didn't muster any more opportunities. What was there to like? Our midfield has to be Samaris, Tachtsidis and Fortounis worked very well vs Hungary. I would put Ninis on the wing as he always has good chemistry with Mitroglou.
  8. Guys do you just go to www.epo.gr and the live stream will be available or do you have to go through youtube? Can someone please explain. Thanks.
  9. I hope we smash them and restore some pride. For me a win vs Turkey would help me forgive and forget this horrible qualifying campaign.
  10. Dean I like your roster save for Tziolis and Moras. Time to move on. I'd replace with Pelkas and Siovas.
  11. Gekas already said he's played his last game for the NT. My son could have buried all of those sitters he missed. OUST!!!!
  12. Georgelaz I think you are bang on bro. Only change for me is start Kapino at GK. I found Karnezis very weak at World Cup and especially during qualifying campaign.
  13. OFI you're the best bro. Love your lineup and you're from Montreal. Yes sir! Go Hellas! Let's pull off a miracle and sneak in through the back door a la Greek style lol.
  14. He has until Friday to name his players from Greece
  15. Actually there were 6 players from Panathinaikos, 5 from AEK (6 if you consider Dellas who was playing for Roma at the time), and 4 from Olympiacos just for clarification and this is what our NT today needs to be successfull. A good mix from all Greek teams.
  16. There you go Karagounis released "yia sovaro logo" for a very serious reason. He is guilty to some degree of something and we'll probably never know the truth. You will see better results now that he's gone. Should have let him go off into the sunset after his final game at last years World Cup. Team will be much better off without him.
  17. Really Tantra. Who? Ibrahimovic? Wouldn't be surprised. Guy is a few fries short of a happy meal.
  18. Pash if you look in parentheses you will see that I too expect Pelkas to show us some more than a couple of EL qualifiers. As for Stafylidis over Tzavellas I have no problem with that only that Stafylidis is out of favour with his coach at Fullham and looking for a team.
