The funny thing is that the Scotts are complaining...

That penalty was soft if it was a penalty at all...I wonder if the pitch is wet, alot of slipping...

Looked like he ran into Rota, either way 1-0

penalty on us

It's a physical game...

I think possession is 50-50, without many chances on either side...

Viix in the US

Tzolakis starts in goal, Mantalos next to Siopis. Delias takes Bakasetas place. Looks like a good 11.

Also think Karetsas will play some real minutes - he went after him pretty aggressively.

That takes into out account being in the C division those years.

Kourbellis being out is a big loss for the system we play, curious who starts next to him. Who he replaces Bakasetas will show how we want to play - will be Konstadellias/Zafeiris or Mantalos?

We may actually have three callups who are teenagers!! Karetsas (17), Mouzakitis (18), and one of Kostoulas (17) or Tzimas (19). Then we have quite a few players who are 21-23 who will be called up (Koulerakes, Tzolakis, Delias, Tzolis, Zafeiris).

Don't ever remember having so many players this young getting the opportunity to play! When was the last time we had so many talented prospects??

I think that's a domestic allocation issue. If they get a cup, our league gives them a spot taking away from the top 5.

This year we have a 5th place. Aris historically goes out quickly.

I think our we have individual teams can compete with the Portuguese (OLY just beat Porto), Belgium and Dutch teams,. It's just their top 1-5 teams overall are better. Our fifth team is usually Aris who consistently loses in the first round while each of their 5th teams move on.

All three teams are in the next round (OLY having a bye) and some of the Countries below having teams eliminated. Haven't had a year with back to back 10+ pts in a very long time.

So it seems like Greece and Norway will be in for the 11th spot. We have an advantage on the rest of the teams below so hopefully we don't mess it up. The 10th spot is not happening.

Have a very good chance of at least staying at 15 we ended up at the end of last year.

There are 4 teams on the group, we should finish 2/4.

All being equal, this was the best draw for us. Now let's see what we can do.

Back to 13 and our gap between 11 to where we are tightened. Can go up as high as 11 or as low as 18. More realistically, we end up around 13 to 15.

At a minimum, it will force Greece to play good teams. To be the best, you need to beat the best...

The score was a little harsher than it should have been, 3-1 or 2-0 would have been more fair but still a loss. They played better and do have more skilled players. That doesn't mean we can't play with them, it just means we need to be more disciplined. First disappointing game we had in the new era. Let's see how today goes...
