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.

Guys I know it's been discussed, but assuming we pick up the 6 points, what results are we then waiting on? Scotland - Slovenia?

OH BABY

Bosnia will give everything now for the goal. They either get one or open up and concede. Very tense now.

not getting picky here. just hang on Belgium.... I'll take a draw. still would be a huge result for us.

GOAL

Damn. got excited after early Belgium goal. Disappointing to see it at 2-1 right now. Hopefully this turn.

Estonia was disappointing of course but 1 loss and 4 draws in our last 5. A couple of goals. It's not enough clearly. That might get the job done in the coming expanded Euro's but not for World Cup. Not beating Bosnia at home was another major stumble. With a late goal from Tsavellas to save the campaign.

can anyone pm me best stream in greek?

Maybe, somehow, hopefully the team squeaks out a draw. I agree with most. Belgium will look to pick up the 6 points this NT window and go back to their clubs qualified. We we can somehow luck out the draw at least they play Bosnia tough. Personally see a 2 - 0 loss but we are tough to break down so draw is a possibility.
