Yo MC!!! Anyway enough rap, Skibbe wanted the midfield to have an element of experience and chose Pirlo-I mean Tziolara. I am sure Zeca could play that elder statesman role now, even though he has only played a handful of matches for the Pirates. The front third will be: Bakasetas Mykonos Lazaros.

The right taste and colour, although they are always soaked in red wine and I J walk from the dining table to the lounge chair...

I might not be the sharpest tool n the shed but,.......thats it, i'm going to eat keftethes with lemon and fetta..till next time lads.

Skibbe has been trying to mould Tzioli into Pirlo. Don't forget the milkman, Galanopoulos. Trying someone new like Androutsos or Bouchalakis is a great idea with forward thinking..

Same names for 10 or more years now. I say no more Tziol, Samaris and Taxi; more of Galanopoulos, Kourbelis, Bouchalakis and Siopis.

Donis and Fetfa on the wings are very creative. We are actually due to win the Euro again in two years time so may the Pirates get on with it.

Lazo, is Samaris authoritive and intimidating enough for DM at that level after so long playing there though? Someone new might do better than him and Tziolis perhaps. Zeca has the passing range, or Kourbelis, Gala or Siopis. A friendly or two really helps.

Klona is probably better on the edge than Bakasetas and might be more prolific in goal scoring than Gianniotas. Wonder if Fetfa is going to be considered cause he is not responsible for kicking Skibbe's dog.

The Pirates need a CB that can scratch, bite, kick and pinch at this level so Tzavellas will be there. Mitropanos will get his chance in good time. Its now time, as an elder statesman that Samaris grows a Jedinak-style long beard for respect. Whom ever grows one out of Tziolis, Samaris and Tachtsidis, will start in upcoming matches.

Anastasios Douvikas will take over from Mykonos Mitroglou in afew seasons time. The new Charisteas scoring to win another Euro!

Yes, look at the posts again and I had mentioned Zeca, Kourbelis, Taxi, Sokratis, Torosidis, Petsos, Jedinak and Galanopoulos and more, that would do a better job as a DM, any day. I say they are better, you say they are not. Well, Tziolis can't play and Fetfatzidis can, has speed, skill even if he played in the Indian Super League. Tziol has Nothing. I prefer Maniatis. Whilst manscaping I thought, I can only do so much but if this keeps going, Reaper, Akritis, La Mendel, Dean 97 and Lazo are going to vote you out of the A list crowd, with our virtual reality Frappes via television link!

Lazo you rocked the mike with that first team re.

Pirates could of had a front third of Chris Oikonomidis Apo Giannou and Dimitri Petratos for the Nations Cup.. ah, lost opportunities re maik!

We will win our group and we will play Tziolis and he will break our record of most caps for the Pirates in the near future too. Then we will go to McDonalds.

Be a battle for Oly to sign Usain Bolt now as he may well of signed with Central Coast Mariners..

Galanopoulos, Zeca, Sokratis, Torosodis, Siopis, Jedinak, Petsos all better than Tziolis for Hellas. When Tziol breaks the record for most caps for a Pirate ever, I will have to explain that to the friends in the shower next time.

Rocko, what have you done with my old sparring partner Akritis re?

Rocka baby where have you been, you have come out swinging. Re Maik, I would have Sokratis or Torosidis ahead of Tzioli.

I have been overcome with Tziolis-sysmosys. In a hypnotic state of mind. I know now why Skibbe picks him first in every squad. Skibbe and I now believe Tziol is the no.1 midfielder in the world. Yes my peeps we have been wrong all this time. Pirates best players are currently Tziolis, Tziolis, Tzavellas, Maniatis Samaris and Tachtsidis.

Wow Phons, what do we have now re?

Mantalos could well be that assertive mid, if you have Fortounis stay as AM. Pelkas was playing really well as a CAM in Super League level too.

With Croatia in the FINAL of the World Cup, and a posibility to win it, teams like Greece should aspire to do the same by going all out to qualify and get to round of 16. then see how the script continues. No need for worship of teams like Spain, Brazil, Germany and Argentina any longer. First thing, add fast and skillful midfielders. Skibbe is in some matrix that he has to snap out of.

Heel bruh, I would be curious what sort of team you would assemble for game 1 of the Euro Nations Tourni (as Lazo would say) comig up?

Like the 2 tone blue in the home jersey, I will say this, I'm as excited about these jerseys as I was in my first honeymoon night, finish up the reception so I can go and get to the business. Lazo, your at the cutting edge as usual, you have Greek City music and we have Metropolis music at Earlwood in Sydney.

Mean Dean, i would have to swap Gianniotas out for Fetfa, which I'm comfortable with either way, as the two wing subs I chose are Gianniotas RW and Lazo LW. Gianniotas might be a whisker ahead right now. I have Pelkas out on the wing cause I have Mantalos JUST ahead for the AM position, yet Pelkas would still be in the team instead of Mantalos or of recent times, Bakasetas starting at RW.
