  1. Yes I was very impressed with Siopis he’s a pit bull running and throwing great tackles all over the pitch. Douvikas should have got a call up for sure. He just needs that one decent chance and he will finish like he did in a NL match vs Kosovo. I like Pavlidis he works hard finds the space but there’s been a number of matches where he has not been sharp. Last friendly was one of his worst performances and he looked really frustrated. We need him to score especially vs these weaker countries. The guy scores some spectacular goals in Holland so I expect more from him. If we get our strikers scoring at just a decent rate then we will be really difficult to beat as our mids are producing goals too.
  2. France won at Ireland 1 nil. Ireland came close to equalizing but Maignan made a huge save. Great result for Greece. We will have to be ready for Ireland they look much improved recently and played well today. In other group action Holland won 3 nil over Gibraltar.
  3. First half was great how we moved the ball quickly and created so many chances. Their goalie made some great saves especially in the opening half. Our problem is as always we barely get goals from our strikers. Pavlidis was really disappointing couldn’t take a chance & he even took a through ball away from an open Mantalos running in at the back post. Giakoumakis didn’t do much coming on. Douvikas should have got a call up! Bakasetas was strong today. Fortounis spreads the ball around so beautifully and his vision is stellar. Good thing this was not a qualifier but we need to be winning these matches vs Lithuania and Malta to get our ranking up so we don’t get another horrible draw for the 2026 World Cup.
  4. Don’t think Lithuania have had a shot attempt yet
  5. Bakasetas has definitely produced good performances and contributed goals since the last wcup qualifiers and Nations League. I was a huge critic of his as well but what he lacks in technical ability he makes up with his work rate on the pitch and you can see how much he loves to play for Greece. I agree with you regarding Pelkas & Mantalos I think for the friendly tomorrow we need to see others in the midfield. Though I must say Mantalos has turned in better performances for the Ethniki recently
  6. FT Scotland 3 Cyprus 0 Two defensive errors on the last two goals scored by McTominay.
  7. Greece have a playoff spot locked up along with Georgia, Turkey and Kazakhstan. If we need the playoffs the two matches would be played in Greece.
  8. Guys I could only watch the first 25mins. How did we play? I saw that we had 22 shot attempts did we create high quality chances in the second half. Does anyone know where you can watch a replay of the game? Great to see France smashing Holland 4 nil.
  9. Good points. Tzavellas should not have been called up this time around. He filled in well for the last wcup qualifiers but he hardly gets any minutes at AEK. Douvikas should be there 100%. I am excited too see Fortounis get the call up and I hope he gets a lot of minutes.
  10. Good call ups. Good points. The NT now has some solid strikers to call up on. Can’t wait to see Fortounis back in the fold and hopefully playing alongside the super talented Konstantellias.
