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.

According to Agonasport Lazaros is out for the remainder of the season with an ACL injury.

Yes they do struggle vs Ukrainian sides, as they did a few years back in the Europa League when they were eliminated by Dnipro. Hopefully they can pull it off in Kiev and advance to the round of 16.

OLY should have got the win. Fortounis missing that great chance was the pivotal moment would have put them up 2 nil and the game probably ends 3-1. Also Dynamo had not played a competitive game since December I figured an OLY win was guaranteed.

I just stepped out and missed the equalizer! How did they score? Disappointing!

What a goal from Dias! Sweet volley! Fortounis should have put that giveaway into the back of the net. OLY have to keep pressing to get another goal.

Hopefully Greece can get wins vs Lichenstein and then especially at Bosnia and that would really help them start to climb up the rankings.

What an awful performance from OLY in todays derby at Toumba . They were outplayed and they struggled to string 3 passes together.

Greece drop to spots to 45th in the FIFA rankings due to results from the AFC Asia Cup.

FT 3-1

PAOK midfield controlled the match..

3-1

PAOK 2-0 at HT could have been easily 3 nil.

Thanks!

anyone have a LINK

That news sucks!! I thought he would come back.

Yes just read that too, lets hope they come to an agreement and he can make a return to the NT for this campaign!

The 2nd match at Bosnia could prove whether Greece qualify for the Euros. The team at minimum has to pull out a draw, a win would be so huge and could send us on our way to qualifying as Bosnia have to go to Finland for match day 3 which is a tricky encounter and then to Italy on match day four.

Good post. I would love to see Siovas in the starting 11. Mitroglou is still our best option at striker I dont see who else would pop in the goals playing in that position. Lets hope he gets his form and confidence back. I could see coach Ange using Fetfa as a sub when we are in need of a goal and bringing him on late in a match. I doubt he will start him.

^ He sure would have helped during the last campaign too in the matches with Belgium and Bosnia and especially in the first leg of the playoff vs Croatia. Skibbe the idiot!

I think Holebas would have helped and is playing very well from what I have seen of him this season. Anyways the way that whole situation went down is a shame. Holebas in the World Cup match vs Costa Rica was one of our best players defending and his runs forward delivered a beautiful cross to Salpi which Navas made a great save to keep the game level. With respects to Fortounis playing in a deeper role that would greatly benefit us as he has the vision to pick out a pass. Zeca is a our destroyer CDM running allover the pitch and making great challenges in the mid similar to a Gattuso.

Just read agonasport article saying Holebas is staying retired from the Ethniki after being approached by EPO. We could sure use him he's been playing very well for watford and would be useful in this campaign. One more of Skibbes screw ups that bit us in the arse.

Hopefully during this campaign Donis comes through in a big way for us!

Lets hope Anastasiadis doesn't call up Bakasetas the guy has not played one decent game for the NT. As for playing in Crete I think the stadium will be filled and will give us a much needed home field advantage compared to what we all saw during the Nations League at OAKA.
