  1. I wanted Denmark so badly, did not want Italy because of there history of making almost every WorldCup and I was worried about FIFA screwing us. Then again FIFA still ended up screwing us.
  2. Maybe it would have been better if we had drawn Italy instead? after watching them play the playoff games were they did not score and even before that in qualifying were they struggled vs some of the weak sides in there group.
  3. Just awful managing from Skibbe, he set us up as if we were up 4-1 in the tie. He's to blame to large degree as are the players who made outrageous errors in the 1st leg, and FIFA played a hand in our elimination. Those scum bags.
  4. How the heck does Iceland qualify for World Cup a country of 340000 people,besting Croatia in there group? They have no big name players they play hard but when you look at our roster compared to there's we are far more talented. Also Morroco, Sengal, Panama World Cup bound and we are not just pathetic!
  5. It’s going to be really hard when it’s on next summer. Even the drawing of the groups on December 1 will be tough to watch.
  6. Manolas is world class as we saw today, him missing the first game by the corrupt FIFA cost us a few goals no way Croatia would get 4. I love Toro but today he could not deliver a cross, no one could really. Mitroglou was shaky his touch was heavy and a few times he had an open player making a run and he could not layoff a simple pass. Very surprising to see him struggle like that.
  7. When will the EPO ever schedule a friendly match to work in players and tactics? You know like most other foorballing countries do.
  8. How can Skibbe start Tziolis in a world cup playoff, who offers Nothing? This is not a friendly match. He starts Bakasetas who has no touch on the ball. He also sits Fortounis the guy who can deliver free kicks and Corners as we saw on our only goal in the Tie when he swung it in to Sokratis for the header. EPO can you PLEASE find a coach who has a clue on how to set up a team and play the best inform players and find a coach who doesnt play his pals, this isn't a Rec team this is a NT with the opportunity to play for the World Cup. ENOUGH ALREADY
  9. this sucks we have to wait until 2020 now? Dam it! We need leaders,men to lead and play like warriors like Karagounis and Katsouranis were for the Ethniki. Sokratis, Manolas and Zeca today only showed that fight. If we don't have these players we will be watching another tournament again from home!
  10. I am so disappointed no world cup, we looked like fringing Canada! Just pathetic inexcusable. Now we have to wait until 2020. Fire SKIBBE Now!
  11. Livescore lineup says Karnezis Toro Manolas Sokratis Tzavellas Tziolis Zeca Giannotas Fortounis Lazaros Mitroglou why Tziolis again Skibbe?
  12. Hopefully Skibbe opens it up we are down 4-1 and we need to attack them from the get go. So he better implement the right personnel (hopefully) Croatia will sit back and try and eat time of the clock. A quick goal and there nerves will start to rattle. Then things will get interesting and we will have our crowd fired up.
  13. This sums it up... These players selected for a playoff to go to the World Cup its not like we were playing a friendly match.
  14. I hope that he doesn't play Tziolis but we always hear ourselves say this. Bakasetas should take a seat too and Lazaros should be in. Need to go all out and attack Strinic, Vida and Lovren who is a joke just as when I watch him play at Liverpool. If we score early Croatia will get rattled and start to run around as they did at the end of the first game. It's a shame Mitroglou didn't get a goal at the end, would have been a huge boost.
  15. We screwed ourselves in Zagreb, losing 1-2 would have been bad enough but we still would have a decent chance. I am still trying to wrap my head around how we give them 4 goals and 3 were so cheap and laughable. Even IN Belgium a far greater and skilled Belgian team could only get 1 and that was with us down to 10 men for 25 minutes and the goal came in the 89th minute. Missing Manolas was a huge loss a crime by FIFA if he's in there its safe to say the backline is more stabilized and we are not running around like a bunch of chickens. Skibbe better field a lineup that will attack and no Tziolis and Samaris please. Bakasetas should not see the field at all. The team has worked hard for 2 years to get to this point and needed help from other results to get a top eight 2nd place and its ashame things went sideways for us from having Manolas suspended, Torosidis out and Donis injured who I thought would have put the weak Croatian defence under pressure with Mitroglou. I pray to the good Lord that we can get a 3-0 it would hurt to miss a World Cup after what happened missing out on the Euros in what was as straightforward a group as you will ever see. PAME ELLAS!
