Bakakis probably had the best defensive game that I have seen him play. Papadopoulos was excellent, would love to see him and Mavropanos start in the next game.

And this was a result away.

Same here - no one was crazy about the line up but results matter. We may not have any real opportunities, but they only had two or three. One was the crossbar (which by the way, was a shot taken from outside the box), the goal they scored, and the one where they couldn't connect. Remember, they beat Germany 6-0.

Yea - they played really well. Kyriakos has a place on the team, really impressed.

Tsimikas played great, I think he tired at the end. First full game. Tziolis changed the left side, he is fast and tried to get forward. Bakasetas played terrible, managed to ruin every forward run we had. Limnios hasn't played and it showed. Siopis/Tzavellas/Bakakis - not going to lie, didn't play bad. Kyriakos still has it, made some really nice clearances. Fortounis/Giakoumakis should have started. And our defense played really great, they scored 1 and maybe had 1 or two more real chances. That's it.

wow wow wow

Limnios also thinking he's Messi trying to take on Ramos..

JVS needs to change something. We can't just sit back like this, we need to try to score. I would take Limnios/Bakasetas/Bakakis/Mantalos out, put in Tziolis/Fortounis/Androutsis/Giakoumakis. Only positive is that the score should only be 1-0. They havn't had many opportunities either..

I think our goal is to tire them out by always kicking the ball around....

They are afraid to touch the ball....

He's going against conventional wisdom. Guess he is trying to limit the damage and hope he can poach a goal with the wingers/back.

Wow - did not expect this line up...wish us luck!!

ESPN+ in the states

The problem in all of this is that if you get rid of the filibuster, than you set bad precedents. The republicans in the Senate were elected by the people, you can't discount their votes. The best case scenario is if the two moderate democratic senators align with some moderate republicans and pass legislation that is agreeable for all.

Ramos I thought is likely to miss this game and may be back for their second game. That is why he wasn't replaced.

About Manolas, I saw that he finally played for the first time this weekend, and that was only for 5 minutes. I believe it's because of injury and he is finally getting back. Do not think he would have been ready for a full 90 minutes.

He was able to walk it off, they may have thought he had a concussion....

Ultimately, we all feel an attachment to Greece. That is why we are on these forums to begin with. I would imagine that all these soccer players feel the same attachment especially when they are away from home. I may have been born in the states, but something always pulls me to Greece.

I think you are right, I read about it somewhere else after you posted it..

Regarding - Sok and Manolas Στο διάστημα του σχεδιασμού της ομάδας επικοινώνησα με τον Σωκράτη Παπασταθόπουλο και τον Κώστα Μανωλά. Τους γνωστοποίησα ότι βρισκόμαστε πλέον στην κύρια φάση του "πλάνου Κατάρ" κι έχοντας ολοκληρώσει τον σχεδιασμό, τις δοκιμές του ρόστερ και την προετοιμασία της ομάδας μας στο κομμάτι της αγωνιστικής φιλοσοφίας, προφανώς και τους υπολογίζουμε στα πλάνα μας. They still may play in the qualifiers...

Does the red carry over from the previous nations league?

Giakoumakis started today and scored a goal. Papadopoulos can be an interesting one, we shall see what he goes with.

I thought Sokratis didn't shut down JVS, just said that he wasn't ready to help the national team yet bc he is just getting back to playing. He wanted to get some playing time first.

Got his first call up to the national team...

Something tells me it will be after the Europa matches...
