the formula should be, Feed Mitroglou If he gets service he scores.

and everyone even complained about that, all my non Greek mates said that it was never a penalty. No one gives Greece a fair go. Even after we win the Euro everyone said only negative things. On that note, how about this Scottish commentator and his sly remarks about our team? He said that the fans cheering about the (brilliant tbh) overhead kick clearance and said what good is that why are they cheering Fk of you tosser you wish your Scottish national team had a player like Manolas and could do that. THis game is evidence of how HUGE losing Manolas was in the first leg. Would have been a whole different game (and of course Torosidis)

if Socratis scores on that volley this game would be so different

They did not And so they shoudn't Unclassy as FK dont stoop to that level

another stat we have never lost a 2 leg playoff for a major tournament

we needed the stadium packed out. The atmosphere would have been a massive part of a good start if we were to have one.

the addition of Torosidis alone will change our team substantially Maybe not 3-0 enough but we wont concede 4 goals today. Maybe 1

No. It is worth 1 goal But in the case of a tie aggregate, the winner goes to the team with more away goals

Yeah, that header from Mitro would have made it 4-2 and we would be looking at the prospect of a 2-0 win tomorrow or even 3-1 win would be enough 2-0 almost sounds easy compared to 3-0 I dunno, the only hope i think we have is a very very early goal (similar to how Croatia scored against us) You get one early then suddenly you have 70-80 mins for 2 goals

if the game ends GRE 2 - 0 CRO then Croatia goes through with 1 more goal on aggregate

3-0 isn't impossible but it might be the biggest miracle since Euro 2004 κάνουμε προσευχή

if Mitroglou had pounced on that chance when papa crossed the ball across the face of goal after mitro's header, the game ends 4-2 and the Athens game is a little more meaningful But 4-1 is a mountain to climb and that is understatement of the year

stupid challenge from diego bit wasnt malicious not sure why any card was given to him he didnt initiate the scuffle

excellent cross but very average attempt at goal

nice shot too bad was offside

called it

Well people are drafting him into lineups and saying he will be back in time lol

Donis will be back in time? Was the MRI not as bad as originally thought?

To be fair, the cheetah was in slow motion, so maybe they are trying to make the cheetah look faster?

Overweight slow like a cheetah?

Kama7 I think what he means when he brings up his age, is that he is 25 (and in his prime) and playing for a Saudi club, and Tziolis past his prime and is playing for a Saudi club to end his career. But yeah i agree that Fetfa's potential and talent have been wasted probably because clubs have thought that a player his size would not be able to compete at a high level (even though he proved otherwise every time he has played) Maybe another reason is that he is not good on the defensive side of the ball, and historically good Greek teams have always featured a lineup where all 11 men can play defensively

Dunno why, but the ref had already blown the whistle before the goal was scored. He blow it just after the keeper punched out the ball so i think it was a foul on the keeper?

Yeah but he's out for another 4-5 weeks so he doesn't make the first leg definitely and most prob the second leg

We seem to play better when we play defensively and counter attack, though. Every time we are the stronger team and play an attacking/possession style of football we look like we don't know what to do with the possession. Except when Donis played recently, he looked like he had some sort of plan of attack. I don't mind sitting back and soaking pressure/frustrating the Croats

Well they are going to play uber defensive on the away (first) leg, even Skibbe said that in the interview, something about not conceding.
