    Suggested Call Ups, Starting 11

    in Greek National Teams

    Posted

    Some nice line ups guys.

    The situation is so clear and we all want to see the issues, which are obvious fixed which is what makes this so frustrating with Skibbe.

    As another poster mentioned, there are some guys with great promise that have been mentioned but they need to play consistently at club level too.

    Galanopoulos, Kourbelis & Vasilakakis are players that should have had a decent shot next to Zeca by now

    That's the thing though with Skibbe, he has made the same mistakes over and over, it's mind blowing, watching the WC alone has shown us that you can't use a slow team now days yet we have had Skibbe use Tziolis and Tachtisidis in our last two games... Tachtsi was tragic in both games and Tziolis is Tziolis, yet if your were a betting man, you would put a fair sum on Skibbe starting at least one of these guys in our next game.

    League of nationals will be a true judgement day for Skibbe, if he makes the same old mistakes we have well and truly wasted over 12 months with this kreas of a coach.

    All your suggestions above are better solutions to what Skibbe does

    You really think Tziolis & Tachtsidis world have done well anchoring our play in this WC?? Central players with no speed out wide? 

    Come on 04, I’d love to agree but reality check. Under Skibbe’s set up, our team wouldn’t have done well unless he put the right guys on. He couldn’t do that in key games.

    I heard Germans missed many chances but what a stroke of WC magic from Korea.

    I had a feeling Sweden would make it a tough night for Mexico but not by 3!

    Serbia tries but can’t beat Brazil, Brazil-Mexico will be a very interesting game.

    I'm not sure where I stand on VAR....on the one hand I'd like to have fairly played matches and correct decisions by the refs....on the other you have all these players flopping around and making the signal for VAR appeals that kinda disgusts me....much like the begging for cards to be shown to opponents. Also there have been 16 penalties awarded already this WC compared to 13 in total in 2014. If FIFA allows the managers to challenge decisions made by the ref where does it end? 

    Agreed.

    It’s ok at times but when the players start acting and signaling for stuff it’s just s%$#! to watch

    Poland bow out of the tournament with a dismal performance. What a joke that they are ranked 8th in the world due to them avoiding in playing friendly matches in the last few years.

    That’s not true 04, they played more than us which doesn’t say much but Poland had played and won many games

    Not a fan of VAR, I’ve seen it not in a few codes of team sports and it’s a real killer to a game.

    As someone mentioned the refs call adds to the excitement, it always did, we would cheer & moan it but it was the game, now you have debates on VAR, it’s inconsistencies, the calls themselves, stoppage of play, players spiking to refs to check... just don’t like it but it’s here to stay so this is sport in the +’10’s

    That idiot Vasiliadis is now changing his tune and is now proposing a 16-team league for next season but it will include play-offs and play-outs.

    He is dangling a supposed 70 mil carrot in front of everyone that he says he has secured from TV revenue.

    Superleague that should really be the one that should be making any decisions on the future of the league has been quiet so far, but apparently they are meeting next Monday to elect a new league president.

    Far out... I guess people don’t ask questions in Greece hey... it’s just so fickle 

    In regards to SL, will that be another club president?

    georgelaz, did you see Tachtsi's performances against Egypt and Saudi Arabia? His passing was horrible, give aways every time! Tziolis looked like Tsartas against Egypt because Tachtisdis was that bad... to put it in perspective. 

    I don't think he was anything special for OSFP, certainly not NT starter material IMO. The Hungary game was back in 2015...

    Why, when everyone is playing friendlies right now did we only schedule the one game in Turkey on top of that?? 

    This is why Grammenos as president of EPO is just useless dunno how he’s still in that role. We have to be one of the few countries (ironically with Cyprus) who don’t have any other friendlies for the rest of the year...
