  1. Kourbelis should never have started this match and should have been subbed off at HT if not earlier. Karetsas should have been allowed at least another 15mins in the second half to try and rescue a goal for us. Jovanovich was right to sub off Konstantelias he was not on his game and neither was Tzolis as I said during the match. Denmark are a well organized side but we made them look like Argentina. I watched a lot of their first match and they struggled vs an average Scottish side at home. I never thought they would come to Greece and win in this fashion. We failed to keep the ball and made silly passes and guys tried to dribble past 2 or 3 defenders too. Greece have to get themselves together and have to get a win at Scotland. I can see the Scots just sitting back and waiting to counter us as they did in the two nations league matches. Scotland only got a 2 nil win vs Belarus and their first goal came in the 43rd minute.
  2. I get Bakasetas coming on but taking off Karetsas when we are chasing a goal? He was one of our few bright lights.
  3. What was Jovanovich doing tonight? Kourbelis dribbling to nowhere infront of our goal? Why did he keep him in? Tzolis had no touch on the ball tonight, really poor. Zaferis was our best player. I don't know what to say I was not expecting such a dismal performance.
  4. We started well, Denmark were just trying to take the sting out of the match and then we gave away the ball to many times and paid for it. I think we can get something out of this if we smarten up.
  5. Dominant win for Greece, the first half was an incredible attacking display and we could have scored 6 goals. Its a shame we gave away a penalty even though it was not one. I watched the last 30 mins of the Denmark match and I was not impressed by them. They did not generate much until the last 10 minutes. Scotland had a better and clear chance to take the win. Great result for the Ethniki and I think Greece will jump all over Denmark and try and put them away early.
  6. Greece need to score as many as possible vs Belarus as goal difference is the first tie breaker in World Cup qualifying. The match vs Denmark will be a tight contest even though Greece are more talented than Denmark they are a well organized side. Lets hope Greece can get the two wins here at home and also see a draw with Scotland vs Denmark. Lets GO GREECE!!
  7. Yes! If Greece can beat Denmark at home and then get a result in Copenhagen we will be first!
  8. Great win by Portugal we get Denmark a great draw for Greece. Denmark ranked 21st in the FIFA rankings, Scotland and Belarus. It is a dream draw compared with our last Euro draw which saw us get France and Holland! For the 2022 World Cup qualifying we had Spain so this is fantastic and it wont be easy but Greece have to get the direct ticket!
  9. AMAZING!! and we have more talent coming!! Tzimas and Kostoulas. The talent is of the charts!!
  10. Greece totally dominated Scotland 3 nil could have been 5. Karetsas will be the next Messi his talent is off the charts. What a finish. Konstantelias with a fantastic goal and performance. Zaferis, Tzolis, the whole team was incredible. Our team is loaded and will qualify for the World Cup and cause damage. Would love to see us draw Canada here or the USA and just have our way with them. lol.. PA ME ELLADA!!!!
  11. Greece started the match very sluggish way to many bad passes as a few posters have said. Siopis who I really rate had a tough time completing some simple 5yd passes. He ran his tail off covering the midfield, his effort is always top notch. As for Mantalos enough of him on the team there are better options. Tzimikas had trouble crossing the ball when given the opportunity and his corners were not good as well. The second half was total domination as Scotland sat back the whole half and could barely get over the half line. We just could not get our shots on target though we had one of the post. Pelkas should not be taking free kicks we had a foul in a very dangerous position and he flubbed it into the wall. Karetasas was crazy good what skill on the ball something I have not seen from any Greek footballer and this in his first appearance. I am hopeful Greece can go to Scotland and get a 1 nil and take the tie to extra time. Hoping Ivanovich starts Karetsas and Vlachodimos in goal. Lets GO HELLAS!
  12. We get Denmark it is a great draw! I wanted Austria as our first choice from Pot 1. Greece avoid the heavy hitters Spain France and Holland would have been tough too given our history. Let’s go 🇬🇷
  13. Definitely Europe is still extremely tough to qualify from even with the extra spots added. It ain’t like playing in CONCACAF we’re it’s a walk in the park.
  14. The best draw possible. Greece will dispatch Scotland!
  15. Nice win 🇬🇷 We had our hands on winning the group a draw last match would have done the job. Ivanovich is a great manager and the players are rallying around him. I said it before if he had been in charge last Euro qualifiers he would have got us in over Georgia 💯
  16. Bakasetas great goal. He keeps getting on the score sheet.
