Mantalos has been disappointing especially recently. Bakasetas just doesn’t belong on the NT there are other players that replace him. I agree if Anastasiadis was at the helm at the start of the nations league Greece would have topped the group. I’m eager to see who we draw for Euro qualifiers and hope we get off to a good start.

Tough result, Austria scored in the 84th minute.

When we won at Cyprus 2-1 in 2018 World Cup qualifying and before that I believe when Greece beat Cyprus 2-0 in Athens.

Good points J1078 playing Bakasetas was the coach's only mistake but he came on for like 9 minutes. It's good that he started of with a win and a clean sheet, hopefully that can build some positive momentum for the Euro campaign. Going forward he shouldn't bother calling up mantalos he has been disappointing for the NT recently and going back to the last campaign were he missed a sitter to give us a win at Bosnia. My patience with Pelkas is wearing thin but if he goes with him I'm fine with it as long as he starts putting in better performances. I'm happy we don't have to see Tziolis & Tzavellas on the field anymore.

Koutris overall had a good game, just missed a few times to get a cross into the box.

Overall it was good to get a win. We dominated the possession but in the last 3rd the team is not crisp enough. Good to get a clean sheet again as well, zero shots on goal for Finland. Siovas was steady coming in for Manolas. Torosidis played well beautiful crosses into the box on many occasions, the guy plays with such passion. Zeca was winning so many 50/50 balls and his work rate is incredible game in and game out Mantalos and Pelkas most disappointing players overall. We need more from Fortounis he can be a game changer with his offensive skills but some matches he disappears.

Finland were garbage no shots on target and Touminen missed a couple great chances. Greece should have won this group but Skibbe screwed us up with the game in Finland.

Greece 1-0 Win but Finland gets top spot.

We held the ball rather well and moved it around better overall than what we were seeing under Skibbe. Mantalos had a wild off balance shot at the top of the box and his overall control and passing has been piss poor. Losing Manolas is a blow hopefully he will be fine.

OG..Great run and cross from Torosidis

Goal!!!

Vlachodimos starting and getting his first cap for the ETHNIKI is great! No Bakasetas too!! PA ME ELLADA!

Looks great with the exception of Bakasetas.

Good point

Let’s just hope Greece get the win as they should and Hungary beats Finland in Budapest. Finland have improved but there still nothing special so it’s still possible for us to get top spot.

I’ve always been a fan of Fetfa his great dribbling and control of the ball, but recently when he has been playing for OLY he has not been consistent. He scored one goal in Europa league which is good but overall during GSL season he has been average. Missed a couple of sitters in a few games. Hopefully he starts playing more and starts putting in better performances because ATM he doesn’t deserve a call up to the NT.

He needs to go with Mitroglou and koulouris up top. The Ethniki has to put the pressure on the Finland back line as last match they were barely threatened plus we need at least a 2 goal win to have a chance of getting first place. Go Ellada!!

Great press conference and the man obviously has a huge love for the NT not just there to collect a check. I have a good feeling about him.

FT 1 -1. OLY was pushing hard in the last few minutes.

FT OLY 1 PAO 1. What a wild finish, Cisse equalized in the 95th. OLY had more quality chances and more of the run of play. Will take a draw for PAO at the Karaiskakis. Bravo...Good job boys!

70th minute OLY 0 PAO 1. Great goal Kace beautiful volley top corner.

HT OLY 0 PAO 0.. Olympiakos with the best scoring chance Podence saved in the box.

He will be a great goalie for the ETHNIKI for years to come.

Your right, I said it too about no Lazaros but overall we shouldn't complain and with this crop of players Greece should not have a problem beating Finland and especially Estonia at home.

I just cant believe PAOK could not get a result vs Vidi in 2 matches. They went to Belarus and destroyed Bate and played well vs Chelsea at home only losing a 1-0.
