I'm not even going to complain. Greece are simply not a powerful team in international football. Which bothers me so much when people call others 'minnows' and expect certain results from this greek side. Vre seis. Greek has not produced a single star player in my lifetime. They currently have no star players. Greece will continue to struggle in every match until they have players that can actually win a game and take it over. Anyone can produce defenders. No elite players in midfield and forward a disgrace.

if there is a decent steam for this one please pm (or post not sure if that is allowed)

So they need to jump Sweden, and Spain will have more to play for now they aren't even assured 1st anymore. Even then will need to go into playoff for 2nd spot in which they won't be seeded. It's looking grim. Just beat Kosovo and go from there all they can do at this point..

How come Greece can't produce any talent in football. If we are clinging to Fortounis injury this is not a good sign. He is talented but this shows just shallow the talent pool is. No star midfield or forward in defence yes. It's embarrassing.

I really hope the NT figures it out and somehow qualifies for WC. It has been so disappointing not participating in the tournaments.

Pleasantly surprised with the return of K.Paps to the NT. He was pretty solid.

Also I love Siopis. Guys like that should have a place on the NT 100%

Guys I watched from 15th minute on. Did our keeper even have to make a save? Effort level was there from the team today no doubt.

Is WC qualifying group winner goes through and 2nd spot to playoff??

The nature of the game really played in their favour. If they had to score and open up I think there is no doubt we would have found a goal or two. But Slovenia had the position earlier to only need the draw. They scored in injury time I believe in their last match to get the win. Our missed penalty in the first match and the Kosovo match I think are most to blame. After seeing them today it's a real shame Greece did not win this group we are far superior.

^^^ +1 Giakoumakis

Fortounis was excellent. Was always creating something positive on the ball.

Nt was fairly in control today. Some nice touches stringing more passes together. I liked Tsimikas, Fortounis Limnios and a few others. Overall this wasn't the most difficult test. Not sure what to expect against Slovenia but

If there is a good stream for this one please PM

Wow this stadium business is very sad and pathetic.

Important win good confidence builder.

Even with the let down against Brazil, it was still so close in the end to advancing. Down to free throws. It's disappointing. Hopefully they learned what works and what doesn't for Olympics in 2 years time. Assuming the full team will be back.. Just wasn't our tournament.

Can we still qualify for 2020? Is all hope lost now of saving this campaign? It looks grim. Very disappointing..

Mitroglou should still have a place on the team. Maybe as super sub. Honestly from what I'm seeing from the improved movement of the team and service starting to get created (how many chances was put on the plate for Masouras he wasted, and others) I think Mitroglou won't need to run that much to be effective and can just do what he does which is finish a chance. Hopefully he can get healthy and find some form he can play a role still during qualifying it's a long campaign.

I'm intrigued by Durmisaj. Apparently he will move to OSFP. Can any Panionios fans shed some light, sounds like he has very good upside.

Samaris is looking like the player we were hoping he'd be. He's been a leader these two matches.

I hope the Anastasiadis has seen now the correct team over the 2 matches. He has made many good decisions but still needs to fully commit to it. It will be crucial for the Italy match to start with the right 11!

New favourite player. Leonardo Koutris. He could be a star player for us.

Agreed. And he's clearly tired now. I wish the team had a better creative option.

Koutris has been excellent over the two games. A real stand out for me. Don't even miss Staf. Or Holebas.
