if only the senior squad wasn't such a bourdello that can't continue their development

I don't necessarily think at international level it is about what you can show. The coach should already know about you before picking you. They might have had an injury, cramp or were wasting time. If I was Sabo I'd consider myself fortunate, their coach only made two substitutions the whole game. I'd rather get some game time than none for my national team [club level is a different kettle of fish]

The PAOK youth teams generally play in the Lokoball tournament, the Lukoil cup and/or the Rimini Cup different age groups have won both those tournaments at one stage and sometimes on multiple occasions

I recall one of the K15 teams being good, but obviously those kids would have aged out. What is clear though that at some levels we have decent coaching.

I meant he would be a decent fit for PAOK, not the Greek NT, he is only in the oz team because he fills a need. he is not in the best 11 players Australia has, but he is in the best XI. there is a paucity of strikers in Australia. On a side note, i din't want to post this in one of the threads in the NT section where some bloke compared the Greek and oz teams because have no desire to become part of some flame war over this and have it turn into an NSL v A League m*****a. But i will say this, i think if you look at the 2 squads there are 2 areas where i believe Australia is better and 1 where i believe it's a draw, the rest Greece has Australia covered. i don't like to judge purely based on what club you play for because sometimes that comes down more to politics than anything else the way i see it Australia is ahead in goalkeeping [not by a lot, but i think Ryan has karnezis covered and after that Australia's depth is better] and central midfield [where i think jedinak, rogic, milligan, luongo and mooy are slightly ahead] i think it's probably about even on the wings and that Greece has Australia covered in the centre of defence easily and the same for the full backs and the forwards. man for man I'll take Greece, but system for system it's hard to go past how well drilled the Australian team is at the moment.

he played the kind of active target man role that would currently suit us a lot more perpetual movement than we currently get [still not very quick but by and large with quick midfielders it works well] i realise the strength of the opposition but in a system he's a decent player

he also had 2 assists and won 2 penalties

He didn't come out Pontos, injured before leaving Greece and stayed in thessaloniki

don't joke about that s%$#!, they'll grab a knife and run you through

Yes they are a lazy bunch of F***ers who stay out until 5 in the morning sinking piss No matter how hard you train, if you then trash your body it will either fight back or give up

Welcome Klaous

nice photoshopping when was the last time you saw anything that green and tidy in Greece

This is why when I think the FFA and A-League administration are crap and need to be replaced I bite my tongue and thank my stars I don't follow two leagues with Greece's problems.

BBB BRING BACK BOLONI

you are talking about a level of nuance that escapes anyone born in the balkans in a PR polished world he would have said "Pelkas is younger and not as far along in his development as Fortounis so it would be unfair to compare them" but this is Greece so um yeah

You can pretty much gauge the response to this program by people's geographic location In the end it comes down to what you believe a government's function is. To listen to some of the more radical US Republicans it is that the government shouldn't exist or at the very least should not interfere in their lives at all [which always strikes me as funny when they also believe the government has the right to torture people in order to protect them]. Then you have hardcore communists who want the government to control everything [do these people even exist any more, I assume they do]. Surely there is a happy medium somewhere where the government takes a portion of everyone's money [citizen and corporation] and in exchange provides basic coordinated services like education, health care, clean water, power, roads, public transport and keep me safe with a police force. I'm happy to give the government my money if I can see what I get back in return. Look after the sick, the elderly and the young, if not then really what's the point, because if you can't do that there is not a lot left to be hopeful for the human race, go ahead and dismantle the government and let anarchy reign [PAOK might actually win the league in a world like that]

nice font

What more do you want, he's building the consistency from the bottom up

and we will drop them all

They were all established to some degree, but so does my 45 year old mate who is still playing seniors here for my local club and has done for more than 500 games. If you mean how many weren't superstars yet? I'd say Essien, Mikel, Ivanovic, Sturridge and Matic.

I think Doxa also said this. In Arnesen's defence the highlights of the Chelsea transfers during 2005-2010 Asier Del Horno Shaun Wright Phillips Michael Essien Michael Ballack John Obi Mikel Ashley Cole Florent Malouda Nico Anelka Branislav Ivanovic Jose Bosingwa Deco Daniel Sturridge Nemanja Matic There are just as many flops in the list but you can't say that he is incapable of picking any decent players. However I do think his strike rate this year was off

hahaha that free kick to tzavellas perfect tackle by the thraki player

free kick to them edge of the box bad feeling

leovac out kakko in

70-30 the possession 11-0 the corners
