Article says he will probably miss 3 weeks and be back for a serie A match on March 31. Maybe just maybe he will be alright to go..

Dam it!! your right injuries always tend to pop up just before the NT has European or WC qualifiers.

Really! Thought he was fine?

Just saw a highlight of a beautiful goal that Katsouranis scored where he lobbed the Bosnian keeper in a 4-0 win for the Ethniki in a Euro 2008 qualifier in Bosnia. Looking forward to another great win for the NT vs the overrated Bosnians!! Pa Me!!!

Roma again go out of the CL. I like Roma but I hope Manolas will end up at Real Madrid or Barca.

Good stuff.. I read Torosidis is out for a month..

According to Agonasport coach Ange is seriously interested in capping Fiorin Durmishaj as he has been in contact with him concerning the NT. Also Dimitris Kolovos has been summoned to the NT for the first two qualifiers.

Great stuff.. Thanks

Good points, Lamprou should definitely be on the team. Bouzoukis reads the game well and can hit the ball from distance similar to Karagounis, he has a bright future and will be a huge asset to the Ethniki for years to come.

Im a fan of Lykogiannis and I think he could help the NT. As I have said I dont want Bakasetas playing during this campaign. Very excited to see Greece kick off the campaign in a few weeks hopefully the players are dialed in and the coaching staff has them 100% prepared especially for Bosnia!

J1078 it seems like its been an up hill climb ever since we started Euro 2016 qualification and we had to play the first home game without fans vs Romania.. The NT needs to catch a break..

I thought they would beat Lamia by 3 goals.

That would be ridiculous as was the case when Gate 4 fans wrote a letter saying they did not want the NT playing in Toumba? If my team PAO did the same thing I would be really pissed off with them. The NT should play wherever they want to in Greece!

How much longer will Retsos be out?

Disgraceful performance. Looks like Martins will be shown the door.

Really?? Why?

^ I agree about Tzimikas I watched him closely vs Dynamo and he was getting beat easily and making bad passes on simple plays. At forward Ange has to go to Mitroglou as he is proven to net us our goals. Koulouris has been in great form for Atromitos and will see the field if we are in need of a goal. Less than a month away until Greece play Bosnia cant wait! PA ME ELLADA!!!

Wouldn't mind seeing coach Ange give Masouras a look...

I am very hopeful this time will get into the Euro after missing the last two major tournaments. Skibbe is out and coach Ange should have better callups and a better system working with the likes of Basinas and now to with Giannakopoulos joining the coaching staff. Our toughest test will be Italy as they play a similar defensive style so that will be an interesting chess match plus Greece have not played them in along time. Even though Italy is not at the top of there game I expect them to be very hungry and determined with all the pressure they are under from there fans and the media in Italy to not miss another major tournament. Bosnia as I said if we play smart and stifle there playmakers and wait for our chance to hit them for a goal then I believe will get a result on match day 2. Greece are very familiar with them and that will help. Finland are improving but who do they have in there starting 11 that is a threat? The only player I can think of is Teemu Pukki but he is no Jari Litmanen. Armenia should be six points in the bank if the team is focused. Liechtenstein will be the door mat of the group but hopefully here Greece can squeeze out a few 2 or 3 nil wins.

Good match by Aris today they were full credit for the draw.

Guys Greece are not that far off. They went into Belgium against one of the best sides in the world and were a few minutes from a victory while reduced to 10 men. We were a playoff round away from getting to the World Cup and lost to a very technical and skilled Croatia. The team lost the first leg due to the corrupt decision of FIFA to suspend Manolas and Skibbes stupidities were to much to overcome. Bosnia are a good side but many so called "pundits" expected them to come in 2nd last time around and they didn't. The same Bosnia also went into Belgium and got pasted 4-0 and lost to Belgium's B side in Zenica again giving up 4 goals. The Bosnians have good attacking players but once again there attention to defensive side of the game will be there downfall.

I said it as well that this match at Bosnia could determine if Greece qualify for the Euros. Bosnia looked good in the Nations League but I think this will be a tight cagey affair and Bosnia defense is there weakness which could be exploited. I believe we could come out of Bosnia with a tie which would be great for Greece and if they win that would set everything up very well with 6 points from the first 2 games and then home matches to follow with Italy and Armenia.

Yup OLY had there chances they were the better team over two legs. However they should have put the game in Athens away at least 3-1. It's a shame they are out at this stage.

Scored it off a header! Bravo Sokratis!

Pelkas with Mantalos doesn't work that's for sure. Mantalos has to pick up his game for AEK before getting any game time with the NT. Laz could come off the bench when we need an offensive spark. I agree no more Bakasetas he can't cut it for the Ethniki. A healthy Donis will give us an added dimension in attack and if he stays injury free I think he will produce big during this campaign.
