Let's go boys!

With a couple lineup changes I like our chances against Bosnia. Will be a close tough match though. Donis needs to be starting clearly.

I am preferring our play and team selection under Anastasiadis so far. If Mitroglou had not gotten injured so early we would be up one or two more.

Beautiful from Koutris

There is actually half decent ball build up at times and a hunger to get the ball back at least. Not bad. Not great. A half to build on and I think we deserved the one goal.

wow

Mitroglou would have been nice there.

does anyone have a decent stream for 2nd half

Come on boys. Forget the Nations Cup. Fresh start. The group isn't that bad, we can get in it's definitely possible. PAME!!

BRAVO!!! On we go! p.s. what is the meaning of the banner and the masks?

We will now have to hope to get fairly lucky with an easier draw. We will still draw better teams but hopefully not 2 top clubs and hope to snag 2nd. A concerning uphill battle ahead. Feels like pre '04 days now with the NT.

Absolutely have to win this. 3 points please.

Welcome back YAYA!!

I like this. But Skibbe is not bold enough to have this lineup. And I still hold a candle for Fetfa and would like to see him again also. Leave him in. Agree as well about our DM's and going one extra CB is best.

Wow, these kits are fantastic. Was not expecting that. And the white especially, is really something. The collar and the clean look are second to none. If only they could have them for Euro.

We'll be at Euro 2020. I firmly believe that. And hopefully the next world cup with the expansion for Europe. This really stings though. Once we drew Croatia I was never that hopeful. Sad to not get a goal today though. Donis was needed we just couldn't break them down. Manolas is the class of the team though. He was sorely missed in the first leg.

Guys we can talk about how we played over the 90 but for me the early goal was what changed the game. It gave them confidence and sank our players a bit. You just cannot gift your opponent a goal like that so early in their home stadium. Especially when they have talented players, a more talented side in general. It went from there. Poor overall for sure. Disappointing. This was a tough draw for us. Maybe tougher than Italy which would maybe have been a tighter low scoring affair. I will say that certain players were exposed for the average players they are. Maniatis and Tsavellas on the flanks. Not good enough against an opponent like that. In the middle not enough quality to turn and create.

I think we do an admirable job of trying to hold them but will ultimately concede a goal. I also feel we have a goal in us. 1 - 1 Pame!

I'm sorry but I disagree. Will Greece be fine, maybe. But Manolas for me is the most important player on the defence and imo, the most important player on our team. Yes over Sokratis. And K. Paps is not the same player. This is a big loss to the backline and a shocking decision by UEFA. I am wondering if we can appeal because there is certainly grounds. Personally feel Manolas is even more important in the away leg.

Ooof, Croatia. Tough draw. Very tough opponent. We can say we avoided Italy but for me they are no doubt the next best. We can win, but will have to play our best football in four years to advance.

Nothing would give me more joy than drawing the Italians and knocking them out. That would make the coming Christmas with my brothers Calabrese in-laws a gift unto itself...

I see a 3 or 4 nil.

Who are the other (potential) 7 that will make up the top 8 then..

^^^ Hey Torontoblue, go find your balls Greeks do not speak in this defeatist manor. Have some confidence and some pride. The NT has proven it can upset and defy odds. Maybe you have forgotten..

Thanks J1078. We'll just have to wait and hope I guess.
