skibbe is done for our health. today he commited some crimes so after sunday he's going back to germany. no problem in losing but losing respectively and not like that.

skibbe is responsible for this retarded formation, how can you start zeca in the wings and put tziolis on the midfield? i told you he was going to get abused but people thought he'd slow down the tempo lol

i told you we stand no chance with these tards like tziolis and maniatis starting. also skibbe's loved boy tzavellas is totally responsible for what's happening today, and to think skibbe forced cholevas and siovas to retire because of that.

from the formation that is around so far it looks like skibbe will use a not really defensive line up with a 4 man midfield. croatia is vulnerable defensively so we'll have our chances and with badelj missing fortounis' life will be easier as there would not someone particular marking him. it will also be crucial for mpakasetas and tziolis to perform something that i really doubt is going to happen..also hoping for retsos not to crack under pressure on the left..

it's not so easy..looking back we have missed plenty of tournaments in the last moment like the 2006 one where we lost to ukraine in a game that had we won, we'd be in germany..or at 1998, again in the final game against denmark where we needed a win to go through but we didn't get it.. it would hurt to see us missing a second tournament in a row and not be in russia..

ffs this will be a nail bitter..and if we don't lose, the sunday game will be an even bigger one...trying to calm myself down.., but would hurt a lot to see us going that close but missing it..

we need to take into account that croatia out of their 10 games, scored 2+ goals only twice (against kosovo and ukraine). and that happened against opposition with far worse defense than ours (turkey, iceland, ukraine, finland). most probably line up as i just read; karnezis retsos sokratis papadopoulos tzavellas tziolis zeca/samaris zeca/mpakasetas fortounis stafylidis mitroglou

probably stafylidis will play as a winger and tzavellas as a right back. tziolis will get abused so id start kourmpelis any time, and probably lykogiannis for retsos to have a proper back.

if we get a scoreless draw we're not favorites. because in case we concede a goal at home we'd need 2 and basically we'd have little chance of achieving that. if it's an 1-1 draw then i'd gladly take it. but for god's sake let's avoid the score less draw, it's a double edged sword in such games..

milan badelj (croatian midfieler, fiorentina) will be out of the game. and there's nothing official about torosidis so far, neither sokratis.

dimitris goutas (cb) being scouted by a mid table bundesliga club and a bundesliga 2. club (who will probably get promoted). i don't see him renewing with olympiakos on summer so a move to germany is possible.

i think mitroglou can be useful until the world cup in 2022, tbh. not injury prone and doesn't rely too much on his pace to say that he will lose it while ageing. probably he will become more wise over the years :D

he can call up as much as 25 players i think but in the end of the day the squad will be consisted of 23. probably he called up 2 because of manolas's suspension and sokratis' injury. the problem is why in those 2 players there's not siovas again.

alkmaar is not a mediocre team in eredivisise tbh. dutch academies are great and he's a product of them since he moved there from pao in a young age. also the rest of the youngers i call promising is because they play in top tier academies like dortmund and lazio(italian youth league is considered as the best in the world.

hatzidiakos who is a regular in alkmaar has been overlooked again and again. i don't know how such a player couldn't find a place in the team for the god's sake. unless they're planning to lose him to netherlands (he has get capped with their u-17 team)

let me add some more; vlachodimos(gk, benfica, on loan to pao). he wants to play for greece but skibbe doesn't give a fcvk. if he gets his chance in benfica next year i see no reason why germany wouldn't be after him while we'd be losing another goalkeeper after lodygin. lamprou(gk, ajax). doesn't play for them but being in ajax means something. i see no reason why he shouldn't be considered as a 3rd option at least katranis(lb, saint ettiene). he has no playing time so far but he signed a 5 year contract with them on summer so i believe he'll get his chances. for now he's a prospect oikonomou(cb, spal). im sure you're aware of him but probably forgot him chatzidiakos(cb, alkmaar) he has been starting for alkmaar lately and he's only 20. baxevanos(cb, lazio) he's playing for their youth team although he signed a 5 year contract with them in march so he will be promoted to their a team sooner than later. he also scores a lot for a cb (scored against juve and napoli) mavropanos(cb, pas giannena) olympiakos, aek and paok are all after him as well as malaga coz of their technical director spell in olympiakos. they have travelled to watch him a couple of times along with an italian team. charisis(cdm, sint truiden) he has been great for them, playing in belgium on loan from paok. they're sitting 3rd on the table and he's been a starting material since the start of the season kampetsis(dortmund) has scored 4 goals with their second team this season, while being there with an 1-year contract. would be interesting to see whether they'll renew him or not.

you can talk as much as you want. with manolas out and sokratis coming off an injury siovas is a no-brainer. yet again the german coach who managed to kick out cholevas from the team, prefers kolovetsios and oikonomou. speechless. also karelis at 50% is still more useful than vellios and diamantakos combined. but skibbe wants to have his boys around who didn't have a single chance against might estonia. vlachodimos or even gianniotis are better keepers than anests. yet again all we see from skibbe is kiriakidis from panetolikos and anestis from aek. also if skibbe starts tziolis instead of samaris/zeca/kourmpelis i'll all in for him to get the sack immidiatelly.

apparently he will be fine. two players got called up to be prepared for everything though however, guess what, skibbe called FACKING kolovetsios and oikonomou instead of siovas. to sum up we have 2 players that should be in the squad no matter what, but have been left out, and instead they will be replaced by FACKING kolovetsios and vellios. just resign the cvnt skibbe already, after the humiliation against croatia with his choices. retarded.

nothing so far

maybe the fact that he couldn't step his right foot and the games are in thursday and sunday? wouldn't be shocking if he's out for like 10 days.

sokratis got injured for dortmund...probably out for both games.

stuttart and benfica after leonardo koutris (olympiakos lb)

no we can't appeal, that's why i was just reading.. scum fifa

i think those who will get to play will be more motivated with all those things going on lately..croatia officials talking s%$#!, starters getting injured and manolas getting suspended with a scandalous decision... karnezis torosidis sokratis papadopoulos tzavellas zeca samaris kourmpelis stafylidis fortounis mitroglou that's the best we can field i think.

if you which ref is going to whistle in the athens game... bjorn kuipers..the name says it all. fcvking fifa and croatian nazis
