Next season is already over, in fact if no one seriously pulls their finger out just give Olympiakos the next 3 titles.
I've said it before and I will say it again, Olympiakos success is killing the competitiveness of the Superleague and the Superleague's lack of competitiveness is killing Olympiakos ability to improve and therefore challenge seriously in Europe. If you don't have regular cut throat games when they do arrive it's such a shock to the system they can't succeed. You don't win anything without being battle hardened and at the moment a wet paper bag puts up more resistence in the league.

There's precedent for clubs from different countries playing [albeit fictional countries]
The Australian league has a team from New Zealand playing in it. Different country, passport, even confederation

Good for him and Wolfsburg. I've been following the Wolfsburg games on Fox Sports most of the season and he has been playing that position for at least 1 season now.
was voted into the bundesliga team of the year last year as a full back

Amo yes re I know its a long shot and a big call but we got the squad for it this time....
the balance is there, quality not quite just yet. can they reach the knockouts? yes if they don't get a complete clusterfark of a group like last time but if they were to draw holland spain and chile again, not a chance.
but if you think how far the squad has come from the rezili it was under verbeek and osieck in such a short time it's a feather in ange's cap for sure
-
You really that confident? If both were at full strength and playing to their best Greece would win comfortably but I can't see us bringing a full strength team here and whoever we bring could be out here for a holiday like last time.
The biggest problem is that more often than not the ethniki don't play to their potential. Performance is as much about consistency as it is ability.

I'm not particularly invested either way so I won't be too shattered to see a sub par performance from the ethniki, in fact I expect it when they come here on what's basically their holidays and get taken out everywhere and don't have to pay a thing.
Player for player the greek squad is stronger, but at the moment the system, discipline and balance the australian team plays with and has across the squad makes them a dangerous opponent for most teams.
If the ethniki don't turn up to play it won't bother me, I don't think it's an accurate reflection of their ability/potential but it is probably an accurate reflection of their attitude to playing for the national team.

Any fellow Aussies quite worried about these games now? I got to say I am, especially if our better players do not come down under.
Worried in what way?

We lost the final. Watched parts of it.
It was an intense game athletico deserved the win.
Well done to the players and club
Paok youth over the last few years has risen levels and is a big euro establishment for youth football imo

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

Mak played the whole game in the friendly against Latvia. Score 0-0.
Sabo came in as a substitute in the 89' minute.
I can not stand those coaches that do this. What on earth can a player show in those few minutes and what on earth can a player do wrong I those few minutes??? It's time that players stand up for their rights of not being ridiculed by coaches.
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
-
is this the same group that a few years ago beat Barca....then Gala and some Russian team 9-0 or 10-0?
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
-
Giannou played the whole game in the 7-0 win over the always dangerous hometown-team of one our beloved red members: Tzatziki-stan.
he also had 2 assists and won 2 penalties

Australia has a World Cup Qualifier tonight in my hometown. Antonis was called up by Ange Postecoglou but has not made the squad, former PAOK forward Apostolos Giannou is starting
He didn't come out Pontos, injured before leaving Greece and stayed in thessaloniki

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

To be fair, nobody expected much from this season after the disaster last year. Furthermore Tudor is inexperienced and made the same mistakes again and again as we had seen with Panthrax and the gries in both away and home games.
Btw I'm new here so... hey guys!

Amateur stuff - again, in a normal federation this would have been pulled up and people put on notice to get their acts together but in Greece its same old.
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.

I understand where Tudor was coming from when he said that, but that was something he should have kept to himself.
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]
