9 points seems to roughly be the cut off to qualify. Hopefully yall can keep winning and racking up the coefficient points. Bye week is definitely in the possibility.

Heyyyyy everyone’s favorite pessimist here. With Karetsas out and Tziolis up in the air as well… I hate to admit it but I think we do need to play Ole fasion Greek Phalanx defense ball against the Dutch and hope for the 1-0. I want to beat them so bad (we just can’t seem to shake them). A draw would still be huge as well, but regardless given the injury report, this may be the perfect time to batten down the hatches. Worried game could get ugly if we concede early. WE GOT THIS PAME ELLADARA

Happy for the win but still disappointing performance

Shaping up to be our worst season in a while… we need to move on from this manager fast he is infecting the whole team

Our boy’s rough start continues. Subbed on for Dortmund in league play after an uneventful start in the champions league. Came up injured with some sort of ankle sprain it appears. Will be out several weeks.

Currently on 8 goals in 8 games for Benfica. There are rumors of Juventus, Barca, Tottenham etc… but Benfica are adamant about their 100 million euro release clause. Really looks like he will be moved in the winter. Loved his time at Benfica but I want to see if he can prove it in a top 3 league

Started and scored against Fiorentina. Gives him 3 goals in serie an and 2 in the champions league so far this season! Didn’t start their champions league game but came on and scored, all the commentators agreed they should have started him.

Continues to start for Brighton. Registered a goal and an assist today in their 5-0 win against crystal palace. Brighton is currently tied for 2nd in the Prem and our boy has 3 goals and 2 assists in the league with 2 more goals and 1 assist in all other comps. Exciting stuff !

Good job Omonoia🫱🏻‍🫲🏼 we appreciate your work big win for my bitter rivals and Greece.

Hope they can go deep in the Europa league. It was great they were able to qualify for champions league knockout but it’s clear the Greek football resurgence is not at that level YET. We need a team to go deep in the Europa league, something we almost never get to do.

The problem is we aren’t losing with style, playing hard, or having any semblance of fight/culture under him. Yes his conditions were not ideal but there is nothing you can hang your hat with him to say if we give him more time it’ll change.

We have given him enough time to figure out how he wants to play. I think its time

Do we know why Kostantelias left? It could be from coach not really using him, which wouldn’t change given his tendencies so it would be hard to get him on board. I know he has a complicated family situation too though so maybe it had something to do with that idk.

I like that formation given Tziolis being out.

Guys this squad value of Germany consists of Havertz, Tah, shlotterbeck, Musialia, Kimmich and several other players who didn’t play today and have been hurt, Same with the Dutch. In fact if u take starting 11 squad values today our teams are a lot closer than that: my point remains: WE ARE GREATLY IMPROVING AND I AM GENUINELY THRILLED. Everyone here keeps giving these explanations about why I should just shut up and be happy and trust me I am gladly wrong about Ionnidis for example and I hope I’m wrong about coach not being able to adapt his tactics. My singular point is this: very impressive results but we should be cautious about how we are playing long term and yes these teams are better than us on paper but they aren’t the giants we think we have slayed as they are currently constructed. We can be proud of our results while also pointing out the facts. I’m glad my hot takes are getting the forum popping though, feeling like skip bayless or Steven A smith😂

All jokes aside, like I keep saying, I’m very excited that we are beating a weak Germany versus drawing with Kosovo and I am very excited for the future.

What can I say? It’s in our blood😂😂

Again I 100% agree with you, I’m just worried that in typical Greek fashion EPO will reward him with a longer contract and then we waste this generation. I’m still celebrating and reloading the group table everyday just to see us in the top 2 lol. Of course just qualifying for a major tournament would be a huge change of pace but I think we are capable of so much more. It has been a huge improvement but I just don’t want us to sell ourselves short.

We also need to keep in mind that this German team is not the Giants of old. This is nowhere near the team that played in the World Cup who already weren’t that good, on top of that, Klopp it’s rotating different young players and instilling his system. The Serbian team is in its own dark age. The Netherlands were also without a handful of their starters. Yes, I am ecstatic. Do not let all my negative comments fool you, I am being pessimistic because I could see what this team is truly capable of based on their talent and our Greek mindset. I don’t want us and the media to get too fixated on these results, and because of this, we keep the same Coach who keeps the same tactics who barely got these results. Yes, the Greek teams of the past 10 years would have still probably lost most of these games. I am so happy we are winning games again and could potentially compete in the nations league which none of us even thought for a second was possible. All that is to say, we cannot fall into the mindset of “ well if you told me at the beginning of the campaign, we would have eight points I wouldn’t believe you”. If we did this against the likes of Spain, France, Portugal, England I would be more inclined to agree with everyone. Nonetheless, they have given us some joy after 12 years of disappointment and for that I am grateful.

Finally my wish is granted… with 3 min left

Bro take off Ionnidis he did good job doing the dirty work but come on.

He looked like he yelled at the coaching staff as to why they took him off

Our orthodox brothers down 2-1

Wonder if it’s an attitude thing. There were some games last year for Brighton he was taking off the team sheet without an explanation… idk just speculating

Interesting time give Mouzakitits some playing time. I’m Hopeful 🇬🇷
