Also about the renaming the thread point you mentioned. I dont think anyone who is not aware that we are playing Australians is gonna come to this forum , or at least the NT subforum. Im pretty sure we are all hyper NT fans to post here.

Their name sounds childish ? Give me a fckin break. Greek National Team Paratsoukli:

You could have used a google search. It would take less time than to write that post. Socceroos obviously comes from the words soccer and kangaroos. And where do kangaroos live ? (hint: americans think its austria)

he probably saved him for the match at home ? who knows. or they might had a disagreement. could also be a try to trick the opponent manager who wouldnt expect it. as it seems from his goals he can score from nothing, yet he is able to miss sitters (from my experience in Panathinaikos). The boy probably had no motives when playing at PAO. He seems to enjoy playing for another team. We could see an equal improvement in the face of Lagos, had he been sent away, but the boy (according to people that I know from his village) is a scum with 0 civilized attitude.

we need to change the title of this topic. Official and rumours are something completely different when it comes to transfers xD. Id say rename it to official transfer interest etc. Also Figueira is quite good. we need a solid striker like finbogannsoon and someone on the Left Flank as awinger. Gotta sell Da Cosa or Botia and get a decent CB,also seba-hernani are gonners. If fortounis goes we need someone on his place too as dominguez is too old.

Im pretty sure the whole 2 friendly games will be held with the literal meaning of a friendly. Im expecting 2 draws or one win for each team.

Probably same reason why Manolas isnt. He got a move to a big club (Werder - although they fcked up this year) and he might want to be there in preseason to not lose his spot. I think Skibbe saw that Petsos is our only midfielder in form this year. Taxi - Samaris didnt work maybe Samaris- Petsos does.

without manolas idk wtf is skibbe doing. whole friendlies long he hasnt used our main Defending duo once. i mean he saw how we lost versus iceland. He should have gotten him and given him extra 2 tickets for the kid and his wife. vacation in australia would probably suck but you wont care if you are 5 months old.

YOU CANT BRO. YOU CANT JUST COMPARE the GREEK DEFENSE WITH THE ONE OF TAJIKISTAN AND PAKISTANS AND THE TEAMS SOCCEROOS PLAY IN ASIA. GIANNOU COULDNT SCORE 4 AGAINST Kalloni who got demoted. Anything UEFA related is at least 10 levels higher than AFC low tier teams. even the Greek B division. No wonder that the best teams of Asia managed in WC 2014 to just get disqualified from the first round.

even if he was getting a transfer he should be there if called. his manager is probably retarded if he couldnt fix that. otherwise welcome to skibbeland. where manolas is probably not wanted.

i wouldnt go if i were him. he is loved where he is, and i believe its gonna be easier for him to get a move for a bundesliga 1 team than it will be from championship to a Premier League team. Apart from that , cant be guaranteed that he ll play or be a success even in the championship.

Kone made a bad management of his career to go from bologna to udinese and from udinese to fiorentina. his manager was probably a golddigger and thought only how to make money out of him. He should have thought this through and picked a team where he wont have much competition at his position.

everyone is too harsh on the friendlies. Germany lost to England for fuq sake and noone gave a damn. They knew Rudiger,Hector and Khedira was a starter. Why do we have to bitch about losing to Iceland ? a team that topped their Euro Group over Netherlands Turkey and czech repub ? Manolas was not there , Sokratis was not there , even K. Paps ( our first sub CB) wasnt there. Holebas was playing winger, aka not in defence (which was actually sweet but). Our only first tier defender was Torosidis and I saw him up front more than back. Even our players on position 6 werent the proper ones, in none games 4 goals in 2 matches. and 10 more chances that could have ended with a goal in total. Our offence is literally starting to pick their sh!et up. Thats the only thing you can figure from these 2 friendlies. Karelis grew up and changed from winger to SS, Mitroglou found his form at benfica. We finally got a fortounis who has the brains of Katsouranis apparently. We got back ups who can also play wider with the names Pelkas and Mantalos. Vellios is awesome , no goal but cant juge him over his first 90 minutes with the NT. Currently for the qualifiers the NT , rosterwise only , we have a problem in 2-3 positions out of the total 11. 1. Goalkeeper. Noone disagrees here. 2. 6ari. I never thought id come to say this but , we need Maniatis as a kofti. He needs to find his previous form. 3. 8ari. We ll have to pick between Samaris and Tachtsidis and Tziolis. 4. Wingers. We have none , we should play with just 2 strikers and put an extra player at midfield , who could play wide but still , we might end up in a game where some wingers would be decend, Ex vs bosnia whose L/R backs are some no namers. Bad thing , our wingers are no namers as well (Kaltsas,Lazaros) so theres no point to do that.

Defensively we sucked no doubt , however stafylidis , moras , oikonomou , tzavellas , siovas. none of these defenders are starters/soon to be starters. Kapino was terrible too,not a starter either. Positive is the fact that we ve managed to score 4 times in 2 matches. we re starting to make decent offence.

If the lineup posted previously is correct , I cant see us not conceding a goal. Oikonomou unexperienced, Moras old/not having good matches with club/siovas very slow / tzavellas unneeded in defence. Also I cant see us scoring either with just 3 out of 11 players being offensive. Good luck to us keeping them at draw.

Konstantopoulos was a flop at Aek. I guess there is a reason he doesnt get picked. Possibility is that he also denies calls, who knows.

gonna be far less vs iceland i guess. next day is a working day.

Thats probably the reason he got ruled out. Skibbe saw what he wanted to see.

all we have to do is win them. Their defence never was anything and their offence is underperforming for the whole season. Beat them once and we can do it.

Just wanted to point out that for our current form Montenegro cant be considered a bad team. before the WC Draw we were pot 3 and they were pot 4, now I believe we are still pot 3) and they must be pot 3 as well. Also , I doubt that their defence is any worse than the Bosnian one. If we play in similar level at the qalifiers , I believe 2nd spot is there for us to grab. Besides , Bosnia didnt qualify for the Euro either , and I believe they were,same as us, pot 1 team before the draw.

Dont make fun of Yaya Banana however, the guy is actually a good player and key role to Platanias good run this year (by good run I mean , i havent seen the club being so far away from relegation again.)

According to the definition in the dictionary, maybe he means we only have defence ? Cant disagree on that. But cant agree either. Our strikers are also on form. Its the midfield thats unbalanced.

I dont understand the term bottom-heavy either.

We are a 10million pop. country with economical problems.Youngsters are displeased with the whole corruption thing in Greece and probably lose interest. Why cant u accept that we dont have talent ? Uruguay is a 6 million country. Forlan, Suarez , Cavani have been maybe the best attack any national team has had in my opinion, No other team could be fuller in the striker position. Forlan retired , Suarez 29, Cavani 29. They ll both me 32 in the next world cup. Now lets take a look at their defenders, Godin 30 already, Caceres 29, Maxi Pereira 31. Do you believe that they ll create players capable of continuing the successes of the previous footballing era of their nation ? Doubt it. Their best playerswill all be slower than a snail. They ll get in a transforming era and in 4-5 years they ll have a legit squad again. Thats exactly that might happen to us. We have acountry which ,a fter 2004 made football a tradition. Almost every boy has been signed by their parents to play football. Cant believe that we just dont have a talent ? You should Believe it. What I cannot believe is the NT not picking up itself. They lost lots of money from not entering the Euros. So im sure the EPO who are fckin goldiggers, will make anything possible to make up for that. For themselves, and their pockets. Not for our joy/pride. Just for themselves.
