Read an article from a Bosnian reporter - He basically said that Greece came to Bosnia with quite a few of their regular starters and you can see that they were rattled early on. The free kick was scored due to a mistake by Greece not putting on a wall. Once they gathered themselves, you can see their experience (he even used pedigree - knowing how to play in these types of games). The truth is, at this level, anyone can shock another team on their best team. The teams that play together a lot and genuinely have a great team atmosphere have more of a shot than a bunch of hot shots pieced together. Look around, you see upsets all the time. Regarding Liechtenstein, Italy scored 2 penalties against them and they were playing with 10 men for more than 45 minutes. Not saying that Italy didn't deserve the win, but they probably don't score 6 goals on them the next time out. If Greece plays to their strengths, they can make some noise. Either way, their play is so much better than it was in the fall.

At half time, I believe possession was at 45-55 us. To be honest, makes sense since we needed to come back and they had a big lead ( no need to take chances).

Speed kill and we are starting to see that. Imagine if half of those shots we took were closer to the goal. As they develop chemistry and improve, I can see better results. Also we do have more guys to call up. I am liking the new coach and loved his press conference. A Bosnian reporter asked him that he felt that Greece wasn't even on the pitch until the penalty, what were his thoughts. He answered, well, that's his opinion, he's entitled, but if he wants, he can go back and look at the video to see what happened.

I am hoping the coach is learning as well. He seems to be able to make adjustments.

Overall, I really liked the team these two games. Masouras/Siovas/Donis really impressed, something to build on going forward. Wouldn't be surprised to see a three man back line. We can finally have speed to counter with Masouras/Donis and hopefully Lambrou. Vlaho is our keeper for the next 10 years, he will only get better. We took more shots on goal these past two games than we did the entire campaign the last time out. We looked more energetic and hustled, while our finishing is lacking, it will improve.

The one thing I will say about the way they play is that this version of the ethniki def hustles more than the one from the past campaign..

lol - apparently Vlacho wanted three players on the wall, only Zeca went...

Game over - could have won it. After how the game started, ended well.

Stopped watching after 20 minutes, started listening on the radio.....afraid to go back on line to watch the end....

GOal!!!

red card???

I guess that's what it would take...

Masouras - Fortounis - Donis

Bouchalakis out, Masouras in...

They are saying Masouras will come on...

Vlaho is a good gk...as anyone in Portugal, they think he is one of the best in their league.

Greece looked shaky, but to be honest, both goals were of the fluke variety. The 1st one was a block off Zeca where it went right to a Bosnian player. The next one was off a free kick. They completely outplayed us in the opening 20 minutes but we have calmed down and slowly getting our footing. I wonder if he makes any changes.

1-0 Bosnia

He's playing defensive and hoping to counter with Donis all alone....If chasing a goal, he can add Masouras/Koulouris. I would have liked to see Masouras - Koulouris - Donis.

Bakakis Siovas Sok Koutris Kourbellis Bouchoulakis Zeca Samaris Fortounis Donis

I guess it's a 4 3 3 Bakakis Siovas Sok Koutris Kourbellis Samaris Zeca Fortounis Donis Bouchoulakis

yes - it's an odd line up, not sure what to think of it... Vlachodimos (GK) 2Bakakis 5Siovas 6Bouchalakis 8Zeca 10Fortounis 15Donis 19Papastathopoulos (C) 21Kourbelis 22Samaris 23Koutris

Currently tied 1-1. England is losing 1-0 in the other game. Our gk got hurt, had to sub him out, both games are at HT.

So many formations being floated....I've seen Masouras - Koulouris - Donis. I've seen Masouras - Fortounis (false 9) - Donis. Donis up top with fortounis right behind him. So basically, we do not know.

The competition he plays against week in and week out is miles ahead. Getting marked by Hummels is different than getting marked by anyone in the superleague...
