A gamoto!!

A re koulouris!!

Very well organized compared to the last time Greece played Italy. Limnios had great chance. Please take out Bakasetas. Siovas needs to START every match going forward.

LOL.. He's a waste..

Koulouris with some silly fouls and picks up the yellow card.

FT Bosnia 4 Finland 1 Finland are going to choke and not get second.

Exactly if JVS is leaving out Sokratis and Manolas ( even though I believe manolas should have played today) too see what new players can offer than why is he starting Bakasetas? Hasn't he watched his games under Skibbe and Ange?

Finland are just getting drilled in Bosnia, they are an average side no way Greece should have lost to them with that needless penalty. We were looking sharp after the Bosnia match & could have had all three points. The infighting between Sokratis & Mantalos towards Ange sabotaged this campaign, along with not having our most dynamic player Fortounis. If JVS can get the right mix of players and avoid injuries to key players and have them check there egos at the door we will be right in the mix for the 2022 world cup.

FT Kazakhstan 1 Cyprus 2 Well done Cyprus up to third in the group

GOAL!!

Ela Cyprus one more!

Brilliant cross and Sotiriou with a beautiful header for the goal!

Cyprus have to pick it up. Come on guys don't lose to Kazakhstan

Yes, they were really going hard after him and they bring him to the NT and he hasn't played since the Bosnia game? I don't get it, Barkas wasn't to blame vs Italy as he was bombarded and made some excellent saves but he shouldn't have got start vs Finland and Liechtenstein. As for Ranieri we are all aware how he sabotaged the NT.

The injury problem with the NT is out of control. Anyways I would like to see Vlachodimos get some match time and be our regular goalie going forward after all the EPO spent alot of time getting him to commit to the Ethniki.

Tsimikas is out with injury he suffered during the match with Aris, Koutris will replace him. Dzeko is missing match vs Greece and against Finland, big blow for Bosnias hopes to qualify. It's ashame we couldn't hang on for the draw at Finland and then I think Greece would have put Liechtenstein away leaving us in the running for qualification.

Definitely worried about the score getting out of hand vs Italy. Bosnia are beatable so Van't Schip should go with at least Manolas especially since he knows Dzeko and his tendencies.

I would have preferred to at least have Manolas play especially vs Bosnia in Greece. I don't want Bosnia beating us and definitely do not want them to get second place. I like that he is injecting some youth and give them some experience. Why Bakasetas though? We've been through this with Ange and Skibbe.

Bakasetas really? Argg..

That's right he can still help us on the pitch if he just focuses on his game, his attitude just needs work. I am all for trying the young guys but we need to get results in these remaining qualifiers to start slowly moving up the FIFA rankings.

It's great from the sense that he is taking charge and initiative and he wants to see how the young guys can perform and he is throwing them in vs a world football power in Italy so that will give them a great taste of the international game. I just hope we can get a result vs Bosnia as it's a rivalry and I really don't want them to get 2nd. That's were I would have wanted to see Sokratis and Manolas play, but at this point I am open to letting Van't Schip try to implement his vision for the team.

Ya leaving Manolas out for the Italy match is very risky.

Very bold move I am speechless that Van't Schip left Sokratis and Manolas off the NT. I guess this mean he has full control or else those guys would have already got him canned. The only negative is that he is apparently going to call up Bakasetas??

Leave Samaris off the team. Van't Schip has to bring Mitroglou back in especially vs Italy who will not give us many opportunities, so if one opens up he would be best bet to score. Also siovas has to get some playing time in the back..

Going into the matches with Italy and Bosnia Van't Schip has to call up Mitroglou he is our best bet to score goals given the #9s we have at our disposal.
