I agree. Dude only had one good season with Iraklis. If it was feasable, he should've stayed there until he got a 15+ goal season. Then going to a big 4 club Paok, Pao, Aek, or Oly. I think he'd do best at AEK with the current roster. Berg, Klaus, N'diye are better. THEN abroad.

yeah I was thinking the same thing. I think we should play something like that for everyone and then for belgium stack 3cb's there and 3 defensive mids samaris, maniatis, petsos. and just prey to panagia that fortouni and mr. mykonos can pull some magic lol

al-padofla kalos lol

it was a one off bad guy imo they were unlucky. oly shold've dominated though. cool that bouchalakis is getting the start. seems that their gunna let him play a big role this year. whenever a greek player has been a starter these past 5 years, they've developed great. eg) manolas, samaris, holebas, torosidis, fortounis, mitroglou

boukalakis? he's barely played at oly though. If tachtsidis was in super league he'd start at every club

My prediction Paok will win. Aek will lose in extra time.

I don't think so. I don't think Torosidis and Holebas provide THAT much on defense to warrant being 'eaten alive'. Samaris can easily be a makeshift CB to patch up space.

My dream Greek attack team right now lol Karelis Mitroglou Holebas Fortounis Fetfatzidis Tachtsidis Samaris Sokratis Kpaps Manolas Karnezis My arguements for Fetfa 1. he'll have fresh legs 2. saudi league is about equal to MLS 3. We need good wing play, we can't just remove that element from the game, that's like playing without a CB almost My arguements for Tachtsidis 1. he's a dud a lot of times, but his through balls can win a game 1/4 times, which is good enough for me not other CM option offers that, they offer mediocrity besides Samaris who is more of a defensive outlet and will come in hand to patch up space in the 3 cb formation I could be wrong cause I haven't watched a lot of him, but isn't Zeca basically the same kind of player as Samaris? A not as good Samaris?

I honestly think we should start him. The saudi league is about equal to MLS right now in terms of competition and quality. he'd also be extremely fresh Him and Holebas on the wings? that would be glorious. Karelis Mitroglou Holebas Fortounis Fetfatzidis Tachtsidis Samaris Sokratis Kpaps Manolas Karnezis We'd be an offensive powerhouse and that'd be the most entertaining greek football we'd ever see

it's funny how often teams will chase after a player after just playing against them once and seeing them perform well. I've seen this happen many times. it makes it seem like scouts aren't trying that hard lol

I was thinking about the Mounares too lol. Top shelf. Russian league seems in another realm. When players go their the seem to dissapear eg) Karelis Nevetheless they have some quality clubs for sure, Zenit, CSKA Moscow Am I putting too much weight on climate? But I think Greek footballers would benefit from a Mediterranean climate over the Russian. hence why Greek players seem to do well in Italy and Portugal vs. Germany and England (also they are tougher leagues I concede)

that was like watching moving art.

I'm a fan of Siovas as a squad player for the NT. Left footed, can play CDM too. If he's good enough for Oly in round of 16 cl, I think he's good enough to be at least squad. to me, even if kpaps only can start one game, he's worth that slot. he's a game changer when he's on the field.

not my favourite but pretty realistic. definitely creative which I give you props for I'd like to see Mitroglou & Karelis on at the same time cause they provide different things up on the pitch. I only think we should put in 3 cb's if we have sokratis/manolas/kyriakos in there. tzvellas is a good squad player but I don't like the idea of starting him as apposed to starting Mantalos or Karelis. I'd rather keep the squad ethnic greek unless it's a no brainer. Zeca isn't significantly better/equal/worse to Maniatis/Tachtsidis/Petsos to warrant a call up now. I'd rate him our fourth CM behind Samaris, Tachtsidis, Maniatis. I'm also sure at least one of Ninis / Fetfa / Mantalos / Pelkas will be in good form this year.

if pao gets both lazaros and kone, very high probability pao could win the league.

I'm not a football technition so I don't know if it's practical, but I think we should only apply 3 cb's if we got our main dudes in the mix. not sure how easy it is too have different formations in the mix or not?

hard to compare Samars to Mitroglou. Mr. Mykonos is a pure striker ala Berbatov. Whereas Samaras is kinda a hybrid striker / winger. As a striker i'd rate Mitroglou. For the NT though Samaras has been way more clinical. As much as I love Mitroglou. Hopefully with Fortounis he can light up so goals for us world cup.

that one is just as good just Maniatis for Petsos. Not convinced with Petsos yet. If he has a good season with Bremen, then i'm down. anytime kpaps is 100% we have to revert to 3 cb's though. It's too good to not capitalize on that. he's a strange case. he looks mesomorphic big boned aka not an injury prone looking dude.

Samaras is the most notorious Greek footballer on this forum at least. 78 pages of forum discussion! second place isn't even close! Possibly the most controversial greek footballer as well. Debates; Abortion, Gun Laws, Healthcare, Military, Education, and Samaras. lol XD :P

yo. i'm telling you, we'd slay that lineup. we were up 2-0 with just fortounis and karelis against iceland on field they have good chemistry. Mitroglou is just pure presence up there even if he isn't doing anything people fear him so he'll always have a man on him or two to free up space. Holebas can run like he's 19 so on the wing he's nice. Torosidis can stay back or just slot in front and sokratis can patch up the space. with that lineup I think we can beat bosnia pretty convingly at a 2-0. Samaris and Maniatis will frustrate the F*** out of pjanic. the only teams that would be able to score with that defense would be belgium. or if the other teams score a fluke goal. there's no way we won't score with holebas, torosidis, mitroglou, karelis and fortounis which are all good offensive outlets have we ever got to field this lineup? doesn't seem like it not even that close there's always ben 2-3 players from that lineup that didn't start at the least. notable subs would be tachtsidis, kone, petsos i'd also keep eye on form for fetfa, ninis, staf

Samaras gave everything to the NT. He's a very introverted guy so is easily misunderstood (Messi is the same way). He scores big goals. Vs. Germany, Croatia, Ivory Coast, Barcelona. And assists big goals too. One of the top Greek players for sure. Up there with Sokratis, Karagounis, Zagorakis.

he had one of the best careers for greek players, let's be real. I want him to go to MLS so I can see him here and play him in fifa. he should play in Toronto, Chicago, MTL, New York where all the Greeks are at. I was watching MLS today, it's getting better every year. It has a similar style to EPL.

from ranieri, markarian, skibbe. skibbe seems the best. santos is better than all though. Would be really nice to make a world cup quarter final or semi, heck, win to g*****eno

Belgium is much better than us. We'll have to play extremely well to get an edge over them. As a favourite for the euro they did dissapoint, but they're still one of the best world sides and they were without two of their best defensive players = Dembele & Kompany, two players that are arguably better than any Greek player. It's not impossible that we can scrape a 1-0 or 0-0 if we play well and they play poor though. We'll see what the soccer gods say.

Kpaps is his only 4 apperances in 2015 half of them the opponents did not score 0-0. The other two matches they only scored a goal. He's a huge lift to the team and should be started whenever available. http://www.uefa.com/teamsandplayers/players/player=1901610/profile/index.html One of our main issues is that our attack doesn't have pace. Mitroglou, Samaris, Tachtsidis are our top tier options and are quite slow. Fortounis is decently speedy though. Fetfa through us under the bridge with his Saudi move, he should've been starting whenever available as well. He adds another dimension to our attack. Imagine Holebas LW & Fetfatzidis RW, Mitroglou up top. We'd make some great plays for sure. P.S. everyone here vote for Greek league to be in the next fifa. We're only at 30k votes right now! (Turkish second division is at 550 000) I know they outnumber us but still the Israeli division is on top and they have even less numbers than us! http://www.fifplay.com/fifa17-leagues-vote/
