no but my prediction. decent enough Mitroglou Staf Fortounis Mantalos/Gianniota Samaris Maniatis Tzav Sok man Toro Kap

lol honestly tho if you're gunna get paid 10x more and be a star it's pretty nice! as apposed to rotting on the bench in italy for less money. we should call him up though, he'd be great for the NT so he can get everything glory via NT, money and playtime in saudi arabia.

amazing news for us if it stays that way! We need to play the old patrida way. Strong defense and capitalize on ANY mistakes they make. Cyprus lost to the 3-0 and our defense is better so if we lose I think it'd be like 2-0. 3 cm's Siopis/Zeca/Tachtsi or 3 cb's. I like Siovas cause at 6'4 he can nullify Lukaku as an aerial threat at 6'3. so hard to choose though we have so many options but few no brainers besides = mitro, man, sok, fortouni, karnezi, toro. The other 5 hard to choose between. Staf and Samaris have potential to be lock ins. Mitro Fortounis Mantalos/Gianniota Samaris Maniatis Staf/tzav Siovas Sok Man Toro Kapino then again sokratis handled dzeko pretty well so siovas might just be a log in comparison and tzavellas is more dynamic.

Hazard is also likely out for this game which is boost for us. Unfortunately they are also extremely gifted at the LM position with Mirallas AND Carassaco. Not to mention De Bruyne

looked back the old squad they had mitroglou, manolas, samaris, maniatis, avraam paps + djebour, roberto, dominguez, ibagaza they reason why they were so good was because of GREEK players actually it seems. I think they're not as good now because they're 80% foreign. Relying on buying power vs. growing talent in the Greek league, growing talent seems to still be better. even when PAO was really good we had a lot of greek talent eg) karagounis, katsouranis, ninis, salpigidis, seitaridis, vyntra in 2010.

forgot about that

tough call maniatis vs. zeca. Zeca is fit but never played nT. Maniatis is clubless but has been a staple for us... I'm leaning more towards Maniatis cause even in the Australia being clubless he brought it.

it wasn't retroactive I just failed to communicate the time frame I had in mind. Yes he played very few games and I don't know how to pull up all the results just off the top of my head though I'm recalling turkey 0-0. bosnia 1-1. hungary 0-0. small sample size for sure though.

I'm saying in the past 2 years though.

lol turkey scored 0, astis m*****es

sucks man. hope he makes a good recovery so his knee isn't shitty the rest of his life. xristos kai panagia mazi tou

shame. I feel a lot more comfortable when he plays. Actually, I think he gives the NT more impact than Manolas or Sokratis. Think about the games that Kpaps played. I can't recall one game where our opponents scored more than 1 goal with kpaps on the field. He bleeds for the NT. From the 3, Manolas is the worst. He's too casual. He got outrun by Lafferty who is nowhere near as fast as him. Slacker.

yeah balance is key. much like how we parked the bus with argentina... it took them 80 minutes but finally cracked it.

yeah pao outplayed them today. olympiakos was a pretty solid side before all the signings tho

superleague defense is good tho dude, one of the main reasons berbatov struggled. greek league is slow and strong that's why pacey attackers to do well eg) Cisse. and spahic is pretty damn good cb. we're probably not gunna win this one guys, i'm still gunna watch and break my heart tho lol would it be smart to just park the bus? eg) field manolas, sokratis, oikonomou, siovas, tzavellas, staf, samaris, moras, maniatis a paps. like 3 cb's and a double 3 cb shield. the ultimate anti football and just fortounis and mitroglou up top on the odd chance we get a lucky chance.

lol turkish league is def better right now but olympiakos looked good until that last 20-30 minute crumble and the keeper was mostly at fault. (btw im not the person you're speaking of)

they also had like 2 hand balls tho

wtf was with them playing zorba the greek music after tosun scored

yeah there's nothing going on centrally all the attacks oly is getting is from the flanks as the commentary noted should really be testing the keeper more since he might be injured and kapino would've been better if available.

fortounis deadly free kick.. i think oly can score..

stream?

that's a dagger

lol as soon as I saw karnezis post I had a feeling it'd be an injury. pretty sure we're gunna get blown out now. bring in the poor man's Ryan Gosling aka Glykos lol

great points. I think the way world cup works is that they try to have a blend of the continents in each group stage no?
