Except for Tentoglou and maybe Karalis, I don't expect anybody else qualifying from the qualifiers today and tomorrow.
What about Iakovidis in the weightlifting, does he have an outside chance?
-

I thought both Tsitsipas and Sakkari would reach at least the semifinals.
Same here ziaka
They did only lose in the tiebreaker but i thought that they would be a chance for a medal to be honest.
Ashleigh Barty is a very good tennis player though, i think she's no1 in the world at the moment, and sometimes in the mixed doubles the stronger woman player can turn a game. Maria Sakkari played pretty well though, i think she will improve over the next year or two and maybe start to make it deep into grand slam tournaments. She's a rising star for greece.

Greece were outplayed bc of scheme. The US used 2, even 3 guys to guard Giannis and we couldn't adjust. We started out great, but it just fizzled - can't keep that up for the entire game. Also, it seems that Giannis is given a breather every two minutes.
Any team will keep putting 3 or more defenders on Yiannis as long we we are shooting 20% or less
The key for Greece (and the Bucks) is dropping in shots from outside the paint which will force the defense to open up and then Yiannis will be unleashed. In the 1st Qtr against USA Greece were shooting well, and we kept the score close, and Yiannis played well and when he did most of his damage in that game. Then in the 2nd quarter nothing seemed to sink and before you know it, Yiannis (our only threat at that point) is just taken out of the game.
The Bucks had this exact problem in the playoffs
-
yeah we can beat the czechs by 8, we cant shoot that low % again surely
-
Also we need USA to beat Brasil
-
ok cool. THey are saying we are now eliminated
-
why do the Aussie commentators keep saying that Greece are out if they lose this?
Is that the case?

We don’t play Brazil again, we play USA and Turkey, if we beat both we need one of them to beat Brazil, if we lose to the US and beat Turkey (more likely scenario) we will need Turkey to beat Brazil. As it stands the US and Brazil will be 3-0 whilst us and Turkey will likely be 2-1. The loss to Brazil carries into the next group phase, so we need other results to favour us, that’s how crushing this loss was.
In the meantime we need to crush NZ to get our points differential up just in case that becomes the tie breaker, not holding my breath our offence has been atrocious.
In all likelyhood we are gonna have to beat the US and Turkey to advance, one win from those 2 is still likely to leave us short.
Yeah looking at the 2nd round format (i hadn't looked at it in depth til now) you're totally right, results carry over and you only play the 2 teams you havent yet. So yeah we are relying on results to favour us,. strange format

Even if we advance to the next phase we are screwed. We need to beat Turkey then hope they and the US both beat Brazil. Chances of getting to the knockout round is slim when you need to depend on other results. Waste of a tournament.
Or Greece can just take matters in their own hands and Beat USA, Brasil and Turkey and then we go through

hminkema, we are not whining about the Ajax players, we whine about the referee's decisions.
Why are you in here defending against the ref? Your team won the match. I think it was a nice game. I didn't see anything overtly "rough" definitely nothing that would warrant 2 red cards, you're cooked mate.
Stop complaining about strong, clean challenges in a match of football, they are footballers not fairies. You coming in here complaining about our keeper making a strong but clean challenge to clear a ball or whatever it is you say is just silly. Stop it.
Congrats on the win.

The first 10 minutes of this game is getting more confusing the longer this half goes on. Why were we playing so scared???
-
nice ball from Biseswar
-
gianoulis redeemed himself
-
-
we asked for that
but how did that get past everyone so easily?
edit: oh its an o.g. makes sence now
-
we are playing very deep in our half and not pressing much, i thought we'd be less defensive than this

How often does Greece play Italy? Surely, it will be sold out or close to it. I think the fans will come. It's an important game for us.
Was it the Zagorakis send off match or Karagounis? Cant remember but we played a friendly with them not all that long ago.
But this is competitive so yeah more at stake

Again, if a group of people have the right to protest, they either do it in a legal or illegal manner. There's nothing that says one choice is more 'Australian' than the other. The choice is strictly between 'legal' or 'illegal'
Yeah, i get your angle on this however I don't think it is reasonable to condemn the Prime Minister of a country for discouraging criminal acts. He called it un Australian to discourage that form of protest. We might have to agree to disagree on this one but I completely agree with this comment. I mean, imagine the right wing protesters start reverting to violence or illegal activities in retaliation. Oh wait, they do. (Charlotte etc).
QuoteThis is exactly what you said. The term you used is 'Wake up' and urges people to move from the stage of sleep (subconscious) to that of consciousness (reality). Read for yourself.
My comment "Wake up" was referring to waking up to the reality that there are other political views that are just as legitimate as social democracy.
Regarding "the people" yes that is a term traditionally describing the working class.
However see the last USA election, how the working classes are switching to the message that Trump was trying to get across.
The Democratic party seems to be drifting away from its roots - helping the middle class blue collar workers get a fair shake and has moved further left and the message resonates more with millennials than it does the middle aged factory worker. The election results echoed this.
But i agree with everything you said, regardless. Just that some of "the people" feel like they haven't been heard under the Obama admin and decided that their voices might be better heard if they jumped ship. Which they did.

I would call that illegal trespassing and have them arrested. Still, I don't see how a label like 'un-Australian' could be used for anything else other than divisive purposes.
Funny how you think that people that don't think like you, are not part of the same reality. The sooner one comes to terms that there could be multiple opinions on some issues, the better it is for all. Through discussion, new ideas emerge, and the world moves past labels and divisive stigma.
"Democracy... is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder; and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike." - PlatoOn the Scomo "un-australian" comment I still don't think you understand. He wasn't calling the protest unaustralian, just the way they went about it. In other words he was calling the criminal act of breaking, entering and disturbing the peace "un-australian"
Regarding people not thinking like me are not part of the same reality, first when did i say that?
I agree wholeheartedly and absolutely love debate, discussion and questioning. This is how Democracy thrives. Socratic Method.
Question. Offend. Critique. I welcome healthy debate.
Your Plato quote i could etch into my skin.
Your comment earlier "It seems that everywhere one turns, it's a right wing full frontal attack to the voice of the people."
If there is a mass of people swinging Right, then aren't they also "the people" ? or can only the liberal left be labeled "the people" ?
Don't both sides of the spectrum deserve a say?
Isn't that the very essence of democracy?
Balance.
