or Pelkas

You can also play Mandalos there or Ninis.

If he stays injury free, his value would go up immensely!!

At this stage, there are no easy games. Good luck to them both!

He asked to be left off for personal reasons for this round of friendlies.

Before the game, I saw a preview write-up of the match. For Greece, the player to watch was Bakasetas! How he was the attacking engine of the team!! I almost spit out my drink...

I believe Santos has that record with Greece. Regarding the game, Tziolis should be given a go as LW. Pavlidis was ok outside of that stupid pass. Bakasetas was really the guy that was killing our attacks. A remember a play were he got the ball in a good attacking position and the next thing you know, our cbs have the ball. Papadopoulos was AMAZING! The commentators kept praising him. Love his attitude and passion, would make him captain tomorrow. Androutsos played well and should be our rb. Galo was also good and should start going forward. Also, if Masouras could finish, he would be at Barcelona. The difference from this game and the Spain game was in this game, we tried. We had chances and it was more than an even game. Against Spain, we were just hanging on, not able to string two passes together. Here, we were a threat and could have won. We didn't play scared.

1-1 !!

No subs for us - wonder why??

Overall - Greece has played well, much better than we played Spain. We are actually going forward. Should have had the lead with Masouras being one on one with the gk and had a few other good chances.

I missed K Papa on the team. Can anyone else hear the Greek coaches yelling??

Played well up to that point...

Great save by Vlacho!

Another nice shot by Masouras...if he could only finish..

What a chance by Greece!! so close!!

I believe some of the young guys were left off so they can play in the U21 qualifiers this week, which makes sense.

He did hint at some shady stuff. Overall though, I like how he was respectful of other players/teams. He was very mindful of his words, humble. My favorite part was when he mentioned Sok/Manolas - they want players who can teach the youth. Those guys are better than me and deserve to be on the team more than me.

Great interview, seems like a good guy.

I think JVS is still trying to get Badlock to play for us. If it happens, hopefully that shores up RB. I would also put Tsiolis as the LW and consider calling up Ninis if his form continues. With Sok/Manolas back, maybe you don't need Tzavellas and call up Hatzi/Papadopoulos.

It was a bad game, felt like a loss. After a string of promising football, we played bad. By promising, I mean creating shots on goal, keeping possession. This was the first time I saw a JVS coached team not press, not hustle. That's what I think was disappointing. Also the insistence of starting Bakasetas is starting to annoy all of us as we can see he is the answer. The people gloating that we lost, sorry, you are in the wrong forums. The cursing on top of it, honestly, what kind of reaction did you expect? Someone earlier asked about Vrousai, he's injured or he would have been called up.

This was obviously not a great performance for us. Truth be told, Georgia has a good team. Spain barely beat them and they needed an extra time goal. It's one game, everyone needs to relax. Trolling after a loss, for a team we all love, in a forum that supports the team, is never cool. We are fans of the ethniki and wish it the best. The lineup needs some tweaks, we all know that. Bakasetas/Bakakis have no place in the 11. Calling Giannoulis a championship RB is ridiculous. He could have gone to better teams but chose a team that will be promoted to the Premier league and get game time. Limnios should have done the same! Poor performance - yes. Let's see what happens in Sept/October.

We had a bad game, it happens. Georgia is not a bad team, it took an extra time goal from Spain to beat them. If you are here just to troll, than you are not a fan.

Love the fast break we had, moving forward and one of our players decides to pass back..

Yea - he hasn't look great. I can see him putting in Giakoumakis and trying the same formation from Sunday.
