Stafy is always a starter in a Skibbe team. Its a lock. Bouchalakis must come into this squad, at any midfielder's expence, besides Fortounis and Mantalos. Skibbe is so rigid that talent is missing out because of this to a degree, even though the team is doing a lot better than a year or two ago. Let's face it, the only way was up for the Pirates after that Disasterous Euro campaign.

Lazo, why did Benf want the services of Fesja if they were happy with what Samaris offers? A move from that club would be a way forward for him.

Lets face it, if I go up to Soula that lives afew doors to my right, which I admire and say to her . hi, I play for Benfica, she won't give a toss. She will still want to know how often I play for the team and if I have any form. If Tziolara for instance goes up to her and says, I play for Sydney fc and I have Great form and I scored with a great header for the Pirates recently, she will want to go out and have a Frappe with him instead. See, that's my point, hope it is clear. The Bosnian coach that wants to do everything he can to help the Croats can be a scary guy, he boos very loud at soccer matches, I hope the Pirates don't take notice of him in the crowd.

Ye but its not about the Socceroos, its about the Pirates are good enough to out defend Croatia. Socceroos would probably beat the Crows. You can't guarantee a result either way re maik!

You make It sound like its..er.. Sexy re Boxi! Can't wait for Karelis to come back and be played out of position to spray his crosses all over the shop like before.

Samaris does't really get to play for Benfica-that's the real problem. Zeca Taxi and Bouchalakis offer more.

C'mon Boythes, the Socceroos highly fancy themselves against Croatia. I think Tziolara and the Pirates won't be intimidated by them critters. They have the game to out-do the Crows.

Thank goodness it's not Faroe Islands.

Ah, now we can all get some sleep! Go Tziol!!

WHAT! No Tziolaris??..!! Are u nuts, our prolific header into goal?? I will again read your squad incase I missed him.

J man, I get the hype on Manolas, at a big club sure. He plays like he has another gear up his sleeve but doesn't use it. It is something he has to get back-passion. He is no Sokratis these days.

A blow for the Pirates, a very good CB. Not a match winner by any stretch, KPaps can come in, do a job, get a yellow card in each of the two matches and Manolas will be back after these two matches anyway, as Kyriako then gets to sit out. It's time Skibbe carries a back up RB in Bakakis for Toro as he has slowed up abit.

Who would wave their arms around the most out of Italy, Greece or the Ref, and have the best hair products and colognes? Italy-just, on penalties.

Fifa want Tziolara and the Pirates as it would be Disastrous to have the World Cup without the Tzatziki boys there. It would lose 40% viewerships and pay tv subscriptions worldwide.

We rise when we play the best teams, I think those teams would be nervous to play the Greeks re.

I'm with my Piccolo Latte, stuffing the capsicums and tomatoes for Gemista as we type, fille.

Ye maik, You?

I agree also on Gianniotas Deanos. People want fat Fetta-Fetfa so why not Gianniota who is a pocket rocket too? We will get the same positive attacking output. Samaris scores one of the best goals I've ever seen at a World Cup and he got banished to no.6 deep-lying. What a Vlakia!

I get LouX from the Geradiko in Brighton le Sands. Mini Ouzo from Mitilini is a rocket re!

R Rockafella Hugh Hefner Skank, your passion is up there with the greats like Karagounis, Sampson, Leonidas, La Mendel etc. I Must disagree this time bruh, Zeca has an attacking game, Tachtsidis is an asset, Samaris I never had him in the highest category. I think he should of played as an 8, not a 6. Tziolaraaa is not too bad, off the bench. We have a good squad. Kourbelis and Siopis are screaming for an opportunity. We don't know how good they are cause they don't get a shot-like Bouchalakis and hoping to see Villafanez.

What I get from that post Paokarag4, you also feel Tziolara can be man of the tournament in Ruskia as most of us believe then

Tziolara had energy as that was an excellent header. It was followed up with two fist-pumps! This guy has found his mojo. I don't know if Samaris would of done an allround better job atm. Taxi is the most short-changed player in recent memory. He deserves more of a go in this team.

N Tziolaris and his Pirates should get in a huddle whilst having a song playing out of Laz's collection, and really psyc themselves for a Big showing in the World Cup in Ruskia - Che na pame Che na poume!!! Lets get the souvla going Ellada!!

That Greek soap opera on the bottom right window looks interesting, must be a new one. I recognise the actress on the right.

Vlachomidos joins Samaris at Benfica. Well, what about that! Former youth international Dioudis to take over at Pan.
