I thought Sokratis put in a good performance today but Arsenal are not a good side. Ozil by far the worst player today he had horrible touch and passing the ball and scuffed a great chance in the box.

Lazaros overhaul had a good game, he did well taking his chances on both goals but Fortounis was the best player on the field and opened everything up. Let's hope Lazaros can step it up for the NT I believe he has the one goal vs Lithuania in the 2014 world cup qualifier. We're going to need him and everyone on the team in top form.

Thrilling match, great comeback! PAOK will progress next week.

AEK 1-1 FT... Great day for both Greek teams!

Ya if Vieirinha was good to go maybe they could have finished them off today

Hopefully they get another and get out of the first Leg up 4-2

Way to fight back PAOK!!

Bravo Prijovic! Just tuned in how did spartak get up 2 so quickly? 3

Dominant performance from PAOK! Bravo

HT PAOK up 1-0. Keep it Up!

Come on PAOK one more and finish them off!

GOALARA

Crazy finish, for the first 70 minutes they were brutal. Great comeback to get three goals and now they should beat a weak Dinamo in Greece and progress.

PAOK should have potted 4 goals today, tough goal to concede from nothing after Prijovic scored. Giving up that goal changes the game plan for the game in Basel. Anyways I hope PAOK will progress.

Tough break again for KPaps.

We are going to need better passing, quick one two play to break down teams like Estonia who are going to put everyone behind the ball and defend as we saw last Wcup qualifier in Athens.

Greece got jobbed by FIFA with the suspension to Manolas or else the first leg I believe most likely would have ended 1-1 or at worst 1-2 which still would have given us a great chance going back to Athens. Skibbe didn't help our cause with his selections either. I hate to say it but I guarantee he will start our first nations league match with Tziolis in the midfield.

Skibbe better give Fetfa a call up and stop bringing in some of the same old players that have no place on the NT.

I would like to see Androutsos get an opportunity. Hopefully he impresses this season at OLY.

Good for Sokratis on going to arsenal, he will get the exposure he deserves.

Skibbe was idiotic to start maniatis at right back he was exposed on so many occasions. Tzavellas had his brain fart with the brutal back pass to the goalie which led to the penalty and that had us chasing the game in the first 15 minutes.

Missing Manolas ultimately costed us, the team looked so uncharacteristically nervous in that game. Three goals were just gifted to the Croats and that was it. I think Greece could have got by Croatia if he was in the lineup. Belgium is one of the top countries in the world of football and we gave them a hard time coming minutes within winning in Belgium were they are near impossible to beat.

CONCACAF should not get any more spots than they have. Having teams like Panama in or Canada who are as bad as they are if not worse is painful to watch.

Greece had a very tough draw getting Belgium it was almost as tough as drawing Germany or Spain. Had we drawn in with Romania, Wales, England I think we would have automatically qualified. Belgium I believe will get to the finals, Croatia are playing well but they were also steam rolling through the group stage at the euros and then crashed out in a poor performance vs Portugal.

Tachtsidis play has fallen off from a few years back, the Euro qualifier vs Hungary where he smashed a rocket goal he was tremendous. The last year watching him he’s not the same even his mental approach to the game is off. The match in Belgium we were up 0-1 he was on a yellow card and then was not thinking and committed an unnecessary foul which led to him being dismissed. Then we were under pressure for final 25 minutes and it allowed Belgium to equalize. Greece could have come out of Brussels with a huge win and it may have changed our run of results after that and allowed us to be neck and neck with Belgium going into the rematch in Athens.
