Dude you’re taking my point out of context and personally. George baldock is not the son of Greek immigrants. His grandmother was Greek. That’s it. He doesn’t know the language, I’m sure he can’t read or write either and has never been to Greece. I’m not a Bakakis fan at all. I just want the Greek kids to get a chance to represent their country. That’s all. Yes. My parents are Greek. Yes I was born in Canada. But yes I have lived in Greece with my grandparents while my parents were struggling to make a life here. It’s the first language I spoke, the first everything was in Greece. So that would make me a lot more Greek than Baldock. Anyway, we’re talking about BAldock!!! If you can’t find a player as good as baldock in Greece , then we have problems as a nation. It’s BAldock for F***s sakes. Not maldini. Not Roberto Carlos. baldock!! Sorry man nothing personal, I just want Greek kids to get a chance. They would play for pride. baldock would treat it to further his career. That’s not what international soccer should be about.

I’m not talking about it that way. Of course if they have been there a long while and have made their life there I agree. I’m saying in a sense I don’t want international soccer to turn into a money machine. And have people buying players and giving them citizenship in order to play. A kid that’s been raised in Greece from Kenya or wherever is fine. His roots have been planted. I’m saying ksenous. There are plenty of good young Greek players that deserve a chance. That I think will help before they go looking elsewhere. Anyway I’m at work boys. I’ll miss the game but logging off cuz I wanna see it as I have my son taping it. Go Greece!!!

I don’t agree with guys who aren’t Greek in the slightest bit making passports to play for Greece because they wanna get a taste of international soccer. If George baldock were any good, (which he’s not I’ve seen him a million times, ) he’d have been called up for England. Why should we take anyone else’s trash cuz they wanna play international soccer. And while we’re at it take that non Greek zeca out too. I think we can find better players who are actually Greek and stick to our culture. Just my rant. That’s all. A topic for another time. Enjoy the game everyone, 2 1 Greece.

Risvanis is 26. If he hasn’t developed yet, then forget it.

Correction. The nba just suspended it’s season.

The nba is starting to have games without fans and now the whole ncaa basketball tournament will be played behind closed doors. That’s an economic kick in the nuts for all cities hosting it. Guess it’s better safe than sorry.

Can’t really blame them. Safety first. All of Italy is basically closed.

Lately he hasn’t been playing well at all. Anyway I agree with j1078. A lot of players have a lot of talent but are poison to their teams. You can be one of the best players but once you bring a bad attitude it starts rubbing off on others. It’s the same with any work environment.

I agree with these points. The one thing I’d like to point out is that Stafylidis may not be great at the cb position, the team has been playing much better with him as the leader. That to me says a lot. Maybe he’s a passionate locker room guy that the guys listen to. Who knows? We’re not in the locker room. But I’m pretty sure he has been chosen because he’s got leadership abilities. Which in my opinion is a great thing to have.

Lmao. I was gonna say the same thing. Please don’t call him up.

No. Have you seen sokratis play lately?

I agree. Results speak.

Barring injury, I don’t see how you change this lineup it’s working. Never fix something that isn’t broken

Bye bye Manolas and sokrati

Finland are already through. I think they’ll experiment.

This is a very bad system. You should have to earn your qualifying by taking care of your own business. Even if those things all happened does Greece really deserve to get in after these results. Please.

Better chance of all of us winning the lottery.

Just kidding. Apparently he’s had the flu.

Falling out of favour.

Better chance of us winning the powerball if all those need to happen.

It all seems very confusing to me. But I’ll take it any way we can get it. So we can finish 5th in the group and still have a shot?

Yes I’m from Toronto also and have been a leaf fan for 40 years. I see what you’re saying. But the leafs are not a national team. Greece is. Totally different. Canada destroyed the USA yesterday when the kid from Bayern Munich scored. The stadium wasn’t filled because people haven’t taken it seriously yet. When you start winning and taking your team more seriously, fans will show up. It’s just the way it works. No one goes to watch the Japanese national hockey team. It’s just the way it is.

Your argument is flawed with all due respect. You can’t compare Finland hockey to Greek soccer. Youre comparing one best team to a below average soccer team. If they start winning, fans will come. That’s how it works.

On another note, I’m watching England vs Bulgaria and these Bulgarian people are a disgrace. The game has been stoped twice for racist chanting at Raheem sterling.

Good. We don’t need any egos on this team. I applaud the coach for doing so. Vlacho is very over rated anyway.
