    Euro 2024 Qualifying Play-Offs - Georgia - Greece (26 March 2024 19:00 EET, Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena, Tbilisi)

    I'm f***en gutted.

    Speechless. Which is rare for me.

    I was so naïve yesterday thinking its a done deal. I really thought there was no way in hell we were not going to win this game. I wasn't expecting a blow out but a 1-0 or 2-1 hard fought Hellas victory was a sure thing in my mind.

    Once again, I was brutally wrong. This team has let us down once again. I simply don't get it. There are other "smaller population" countries in Europe such as Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, Holland, etc. that field competitive teams annually. Even the blockhead Albanians qualified directly. I simply don't understand.

    That was one of the worst performances I've seen from the Ethniki and I've been watching every game since the 1994 World Cup debacle. Countless backwards passes, no urgency, no desperation, playing in fear against a Georgia...come on! 

    Gutted.

    2-0 France..

    If the results stay like this then we go to 12 points Netherlands stays at 9 but they have an extra game and you have to think they will get 6 points against Ireland and Gibraltar which will mean we need to beat Netherlands at home on Monday and at least get a draw against France. 

     

    How sweet would it be if the Dutch slip up against Ireland and tie or lose to them...

    Sometimes you need some luck from the soccer gods...

    I used to love Papasthatopoulos but the more I hear from him, the more like a whiny little b1tch he sounds.

    Shut up and man up. If you have something to say, say it. Don't send out cryptic messages and other such b.s.

    This is your national team we are talking about! Not, some C division minnow.

    We may not all like some of the moves JVS made but he stayed behind in Greece after announcing his resignation and toured our beautiful Hellas. I follow him on Instagram and he was sharing pics and videos of his travels in Greece and he was commenting on how beautiful a country Hellas is. A kseno showing more love for Hellas than Sokratis ever has!

    Either man up and speak up or feck off...

    I really liked JVS as a human. He seems like a good guy and he always said it as it is. A straight-shooter.

    He's right what he says about EPO. We all know its corrupt as F***. Canadians/Dutch don't put up with this kind of thing. Its not in their DNA.

    Truth is, however, he didn't get the team into Euro 2020 or WC 2022. There were some bad losses and ties to countries we should have beaten with our eyes closed. I have no clue why Greece has always stunk against minnows but is always respectful, if not great, against the giants. People mention the good times of Otto and Santos but forget how many times we had to eek out a win against the Lichenstein's of the world in extra time. The problem is in the mentality of the players. You have to approach every game as a must win situation and take no team for granted. Corruption has to be abolished. How do small countries like Croatia, Serbia, Belgium, Portugal, etc., do it? They have smaller and/or equal populations to Greece but they are ages ahead of us...

    I hope the new generation in Greece which seems to be less corrupt and much more innovative moves in and clears the scum out of EPO so some respectability can be put into place. I'm gutted by the current state of affairs. I never in my life thought I would see the day where I would watch Canada's national team play and think, "holy crap! this team would smoke Greece if they played today".

    Best option right now is to keep the current coach. The current players play for him and give it their all. They don't see the national team as a nuisance like some players in the past. Thankfully those players are gone. Only players that want to play on the national team and respect the coach should be called up. Bringing in a Greek coach right now, specially Donis, will be a step in the wrong direction.

    Another thing that needs to be pointed out is that Greek football is sick. There is no patience to develop the players. In 2004 a lot of the NT players were part of the U21 team that qualified to the U21 final against Spain. What has the current U21 team done lately? They can't even qualify from the group stage.

    And than you have the domestic leagues, where majority players are foreign based and Greek player don't get any playing time. No wonder the NT coach has to scan 2nd and 3rd division teams in Europe to find players with Greek roots that might be called up. 

    Absolutely right mate.

    The Greek domestic league is in shambles. Its embarrassing, especially when considering what other smaller countries are able to achieve.
