This will be a very close game. It will be to our benefit to score in the game. I'll take 1:1 tie.

We can be thankful that Panathinaikos only had 3 attempts on goal or the scoreline would have been much worse. Garcia outcoached the same way as in the recent game against them. They let us have useless possession in the first 30 minutes and then counter with their only chance in that half. In the 2nd half we go on all attack and miss a big chance with Crespo. Had we scored there it probably would have been a different game. Then Panthinaikos has a second shot on goal and they score. Poor wall set by Paschalakis who than is in the wrong position and jumps in the wrong direction. Three mistakes by our goalie in one play. And the rest is history.

Forget about it

Big chance.

Typical PAOK. Instead of winning a game we are losing.

1:0

I suppose he could, but it appears that he now prefers Augusto - ---------- Schwab ------- El Kaddouri ---------- That's what he did in the AEK game. I have a feeling he will do the same Sunday. Warda can come in second half depending on the score of the game at that point (if we need to score badly).

Vieirinha and Kagawa are back practicing with the team. Don't see Kagawa starting, but Vieirinha might. Will be interesting to see what Garcia does with Warda. Apparently he is leaning towards 4-3-3 formation, which would mean there is no spot for him. Wonder how long it will take before he goes ballistic.

What a gift.

Limnios for Tzolis is quite a poor choice of a sub.

He plays on the left. Don't understand coaches playing players out of their positions.

Our history against Georgia: 7 games - 6 wins, 1 tie

Tzolis and Giannoulis will start today against Georgia. Also Swiderski is in the starting lineup against England and Ingason in the game against Liechtenstein.

We might even pay them to take him off our hands.

Krmencik subbed in the 53rd minute in the Wales - Czech Republic game. Wales won 1:0.

Zivkovic subbed in the 64th minute in the Azerbaijan - Serbia game, while the score is 1:1.

Thanks. Fixed it.

This is a game where the NT has to actually play and create something, instead of just parking a bus at our end. This will be tough game. Let's hope for an early goal to make things easier.

Agree. We need a better coach.

Yes, I watched the Czech game on Czech TV Sport chann (something like ERT Sport) in Greece using VPN while I am visiting my son in Pittsburgh. Krmencik played ok. He hit the post in 1st half. He seemed tired in the second half. Vydra is a common last name in Czech Republic. Our Vydra eventually changed the spelling of his name to Vyntra once he came to Greece.

Zeca our best player tonight. Really lucky to get the point though in a game where we did not create anything. Take this as a gift for the country's anniversary.

Baba Rahman started in South Africa - Ghana (1:1) game. Michailidis, Lyratzis, Tsiggaras and Koutsias played in the Greece - Cyprus U21 (0:0) game. The first three started the game. Koutsias came off the bench in the second half. swiderski is not even on the bench for the Hungary - Poland game. Ingason is a starter in the Germany - Iceland game. Finally Tzolis will start on the bench in the Spain - Greece game.

I expect an easy win for the Spaniards. The Greek lineup does not give me any confidence at all.
