    I’ve watched every Greece game and I know what I’m seeing. If you think Bakasetas is the answer for Greece then I wonder if you want the best for the national team… If you can’t connect your good club form to the national team then I don’t want them in the team, it’s simple. Bakasetas might do well in Turkey but most of his games for Greece haven’t been good enough for me. 

    I’ve seen Ninis play for Volos and he still shows glimpses of the player he is known to be. Excellent passing and vision and reads the game well. Just like how Kyriakos Papadopoulos shows glimpses of brilliance when he played for the national team. 

    Fetfatzidis came on for 5 minutes against Bosnia last year and made Greece win by making there defender score an own goal in the last few minutes. During that time he was doing very well for Aris and was never chosen after the Bosnia game. 

    Again I watch every game the national team plays and I know what works and what doesn’t work. This team has a lot of determination and drive but lacks quality and talent in crucial positions the team needs. Especially in the midfield. 

    Fetfa and Ninis have done a lot better for the national team in the past yet some people don’t acknowledge that and don’t look at that as something that should be brought back. Why not try them again and see what they can do?

    With all due respect, just because you watch all the games, doesn’t mean you really know what works. If that was the case, then anyone off the street can be a coach at anytime.

    Pretty sure I’ve been watching a lot longer than you. Trust me I’m not happy about it either, but it’s sports. Not life. Sports. Entertainment. There are a lot of bigger things to be pissed off about in this world. Sports is the least of them. And, it’s I’ll, not all. Lol. Have an awesome night

    Nah. I gave you all the info you need. Up to you. You’re up. Not me. Anyway I’m not arguing about this anymore. It’s done. Greece isn’t in I vote for Canada. Just like the Australians vote for Australia and so on. Doesn’t make me a bad person bro. But if you think it does you’re welcome to ignore my comments and not spew out any of your own. Have an awesome day. Go Steelers.

    Hey loser. I’m from Sparti. Actually they won a gold cup. They meat Mexico USA two teams Greece haven’t beaten and Colombia. You know the team that thrashed Greece. Euro was 20 years ago. Get over it bud. Stop living in the past. Now how about that bet. Knock out rounds. If they do you leave your bigoted ass for a year. If they don’t. I’ll leave for a year. And don’t ever call me a Skope again you F***in piece of s%$#!.

    Nah. I don’t believe that. Sometimes you have to look at the players and go up and down the list. Yes there are a few good ones. But there is no one on the team who you can say is a game changer. This team has a lot of heart and work ethic, but talent isn’t there. There is no one on the team that would scare me if I were an opposing player or coach.

    It's not only Greece that is suffering. It's the players from all the teams that would rather be resting and looking ahead at the upcoming season. Let's not also forget that there will be about 1 month between the leagues ending play and the national team games. 

    Exactly. Everyone is in the same boat

    Well he’s coached in high quality leagues like la liga and serie A so I think he would know about good talent unlike JVS. But his overall win percentage is awful at only 30%.

    We need someone who knows how to make this team win and score goals. We can’t score for the life of us, we have players that score for there clubs but we need them to do the same for Greece. Part of the problem is our midfield in my opinion.

    You want this team to score goals? Find a world class striker. They’re coaches, not miracle workers. Look at Poland. Average team at best. But even they have a world class striker.

    Yeah Fortounis work rate is an issue but he is by far our best midfielder we have. He can score goals too. His passing and dribbling is great. I remember one season which was I think the 2015/2016 season where he scored like 20+ goals and 15 assists. He was tremendous that season. That’s was the season Olympiakos beat Arsenal. In that season he was very consistent, he ran a lot and defended when needed. He was very active. His best season he’s ever had in my opinion. He also was impressive in the champions league. Every season after that he’s been good but in my opinion nothing compares to that 2015/2016 season he had. 

    Problem is, you’re talking about that season. He was 24. He’s now 29 with  2 major knee surgeries. Getting back to that form will be hard, if not impossible.

    I believe what triggered everything was that Ang didn’t call up Torosids and that didn’t sit well with Manolas and Socratis and you could see how upset they were and their performances and body language even reflected that. That’s what I think started everything.

    It’s not their job to dictate who goes and who stays. It’s their job to play. If you don’t wanna play. Bye Felicia.

    LOL...Lets see Canada play a top European nation like Greece did when they beat world cup and Euro title holder France, Czech Republic, Spain and Portugal 2x in there own country. They would get mauled from start to finish. Last year they needed to up their ranking to try and go directly into the "hex" so they played a friendly vs Iceland's almost C team and of course they lost. They cant compete with the the big boys of world football like Greece can and has done. So many decades in CONCACAF with nothing to show, just pitiful. Anyways on to the Ethniki..

     

    Lmao. They actually won a gold cup in 99. Beating USA Mexico and Colombia. And like I said you’re talking 2004. That was almost 20 years ago. Of course they would’ve got mauled. I’m talking today. No one talks about Australia beating Vanuatu Maldives and Fiji to get to the World Cup before. But hey whatever fits your racist narrative as always. You’re the same racist prick through the internet. But like I said not your fault. It’s the idiot moderators who let you spew racist s%$#!.
