I believe we did play Greece and Spain in friendlies in Greece a few years back and no one showed up. We played the Netherlands last year. So we have played them but we haven't build on them and in Greece, attendance is terrible...

He always wanted to go back to Spain.

The second interception was similar to the one he had against Belgium except he scored this time - he is fast!!!

Or it can be a simple update of the site....

So Grexit is a positive thing? That will set back Greek football for years as investors will leave and there will be no money for the local sports programs. If you think the quality of Greek footballers is low now, it will be non-existent if Grexit happens.

The thing is that Fourtounis did play abroad, in Germany, but didn't impress. He regressed and rediscovered his form back at OLY.

That was one of the two choices I didn't want, but everyone else...

We want him to experiment, here is his chance...

12 Andreas Gianniotis 7 Lazaros Christodoulopoulos 5 Kyriakos Papadopoulos 3 Giorgos Tzavellas 9 Nikolaos Karelis 6 Alexandros Tziolis 17 Panagiotis Tachtsidis 25 Dimitrios Pelkas 20 Anastasios Donis 21 Konstantinos Stafylidis 24 Michalis Bakakis Not bad to experiment except for two players...I would have put in Retsos and Kourbelis in their place...

Its on espn 3 for those in the states...

That's not a bad starting line up, that will probably be our line up come September. The key now is to make the subs to see who would fit in with them.

I think the best example is what happened in Germany. Dortmund was having financial troubles and needed funds, Bayern lent them the money because they knew the German league was stronger with them in it!!

I agree but if he serves as a leader and as an example, I guess I can deal with it. If he actually is in the 11, then...Remember Ranieri changed the whole team and we got crushed, we need a steady ship. If that means including a player like Tsiolis to ease the transition, I can deal with that...

Overall, he may value Tsiolis influence on the team. He may see him as a good guys for team culture, similar to Torosidis.

While Tziolis and Tzavellas are not ideal, he did pick a large squad to look at. A lot of guys we have been wanting him to look were selected, with the most notable exception being fetfa. Now if they both play, that's a different story...

Ultimately, I believe he was trying to "handle" the situation himself as the goal should not have been disallowed. Changing the call based on perceived harassment was wrong but that is on the ref. Then Ivan coming down with a gun just destroys his argument. Three things should happen: 1) VAR should be instituted in Greece (take the call away from the refs on the pitch) - this can be even outsourced for the first year or two 2) Any players harassing the refs should be carded 3) Any ownership/management stepping onto the pitch should receive a fine/suspension.

Either way, this incident has escalated internationally. FIFA and UEFA have both said they will be watching the outcomes of EPO's decision. I believe UEFA will be helping with implementing the verdict/new sporting legislation. The truth is the constant invading and hooliganism involved in the derbies is ruining the game. Something has to be done to ruin what otherwise has been a good season for the Superleague.

All these countries have worked so hard to participate in a tourney that happens once every four years, no one will willingly drop out...

How is that any different than municipalities paying for stadiums? It is in everyone's best interest that PAO continues to get stronger. Without a PAO or an OLY, that league will be weaker.

I believe he has said before that he wants to go somewhere where he can win trophies....

I believe he has been caped already by Austria...

He has played ok with the ethniki outside of the last game against Croatia (which he shouldn't have started being that he hadn't played in months).

Savidis probably knows that a PAO in the league is better than them not in it. Bayern did the same thing with Dortmund years ago.

So the format is that we need to win our group for promotion. All group winners from the same level (in our case C), will play our knockout style tournament to decide a place in the Euros. Is this correct?

The further removed from Euro 2016, the better are coefficient will become (considering we keep doing well)...
