WIth many strongly opinionated people's ideas, and also my own, I would go with this outfit to represent the Pirates at the Euro Nation's Cup: Karnezis Bakakis Manolas Sokratis (c) Stafy Zeca Fortounis/Androutsos Pelkas (speed) Mantalos Donis Mitro Karelis Manos Gianniotas Lazaros Androutsos/Fortounis Galanopoulos Kourbelis KPaps Retsos Lykogiannis Kapino Anestis coach: Alefantos..- maybe not.

Bravo re captain Dean, Androutsos Kourbelis & Zeca as opposed to Taxi, Tziol & Samaris/Maniatis. Go with youth and they won't let anyone down. Zeca and Sokrati will point them in the right erection

J1 baby, Skibbe must Not be comfortable with a slow midfield. Tziol, Taxi and Samaris are not international class, neither has a big engine. Zeca needs two other guys to complement him urgently. Mitro could get faster service as well.

I'm good re maik, it has taken me this long to get over the fact Hellas missed the World Cup. Croatia are very good and still alive in the quarters. I agree with you that Bouchalakis could be our answer at CM, I think Androutsos might have the motor too. Hope the Pirates start well in the up coming Nations Cup in September.

Its time the Greeks rise out of the football doldrums, Skibbe must play Mantalos as our AM, he has a high tempo style with a resemblance of Modric. Fortounis does well at LW or further back in midfield. I wonder if a match will be organised for August as a lead in to this new Nations Cup in September? Time to play Zeca and Terry Androutsos behind Matalos, more energy so in with the new. Tzioli can be head of booking motels and cabs.

Hala yulla bulla ulla dulla- it all sounds the same re maik!

Group I in the World Cup will be the group of death for sure: Netherlands, Chile Italy & Ghana, glad the Pirates missed that one.

All the best to Tzioli and his team against the Swiss.

Alefantos as assistant manager, good call.

I think Tziolis is going to break Kara's record for internationals. Just the guy to have the record for mighty Hellas! Skibbe rates him very highly as we have already experienced. And what an experience it has been..

I heard that the Oly players had food poisoning, they contaminated Calamaria.

If a player officially qualifies for Greece, then, he is Greek. remember, Socceroos 36 in the World, Greece 44 or something. Lets address this issue positively, and like them, make the World Cup. Greece should of qualifed for the Euroes. Explore all the talent pool. I heard Messi wanted to play for Greece b4 he took option 2.

The commentator rule will prevent this because if we play Lazaros on one side and Lazaro on the other, the comentators will get confused all the match. At least they are not twins.

Ella re Lazo, you gave La and myself melancholy re! Akriti would not stand for this.

La you champion, Avraam is at Brisbane Roar and scoring goals re maik. He just got back from suspension, he spat at another player then fell over like he'd been hit. He is in form and an excellent CB still.

Will Apo Giannou come back??

Donis .com.gr

Kone could take over from Fortounis as an AM unless he is on the bench.

I don't think Karelis is a starter unless he replaces Mitro. There is more chance of Karagounis coming back. As a winger, Karelis would spear them left, right but not centre. like Korth Korean test missiles. Donis is the future on that LW side, unless he takes over as CF or as our AM. Wonder why Mantalos is never in as a CM? That is hard to work out, rather than on the RW?

He doesn't hardly start, so his 90 mins is non-existent Box!

How is Fetta's form though? If he is consistently playing well and starts regularly, that serves the Pirates better than say, Samaris playing once every three months for Benfica. Skibbe did say (even though I don't really believe him), players must play regularly to be picked in the NT.

The Skibbe gets a chance this time to win the Euro with the Pirates, in 2020. Tziol, Arab, Tzavellas and the boys!

Hey Boxo, you picked six CB's and Lyko is more a LB as is Koutris, it would be out of them for that side perhaps. Mpakakis would stand alone for RB back up then. Good squad though man.

I actually didn't Arg, I kept it at 23 players, CB, RB and LB as back ups. Out of ten people, seven would probably pick still KPaps over Retsos for now, that could change in the future. If I added Retsos, I would leave out KPaps, squad balance. I struggled but still picked Toro.

Gianniotis it is then Maka!! There is plenty of talent and experience in this Pirates squad. Deano says Siopis is more an 8, so even better for squad balance.
