Genome Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 A couple more minutes and we're off ... players are walking on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Our national anthem was just sung by a male choir of about twenty men. Hadn't seen that before at a football match, nice touch though :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 First good chance for Greece, Charisteas with a good cross but Gekas didn't get a good touch to the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Gekas hit his head, has to leave the pitch for a sec. Good chance for Hungary just now with a header that went just out. Nikopolidis seems hurt (foot), and Chalkias is getting ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Yup, Nikopolidis out, Chalkias in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 A very good shot by Hungary's number 8 from outside the box. Would've gone in if it weren't for Chalkias' save. Corner for Hungary, out. Bad game for us so far. Our defense doesn't look good at all, and nothing's happening up front either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genome Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Charisteas one on one with their keeper after a free kick was taken quickly. Throw-in now for Greece. Cross by Seitaridis, Amanatidis can't reach the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 5 more minutes and the first half's over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 1-0 by AMANATIDIS ! ! ! Out of nowhere after a bad touch to the ball from Gekas, Amanatidis works it in the Hungarian nets. End of the first half, and a Hungarian player now falls on the ground as if he got hit in the face by Katsouranis. Lots of theatre and very lame to do. Both players get a yellow card.

DUDE Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I'm unable to watch the game but Genome's comments (thank for them by the way) are worrying me. If our defence is troubled against Hungary and we can't attack either, what will happen against Spain, Sweden and Russia?! :blink: I'm really starting to worry. How serious was Nikopolidis' injury?

mangas21 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 relax..........it's frendly against a weaker opponent.....primary focus is not tot get hurt, work on few things, stay in shape, and do just enough not to lose....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUDE Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 relax..........it's frendly against a weaker opponent.....primary focus is not tot get hurt, work on few things, stay in shape, and do just enough not to lose....... We can't be saying "relax it's just a friendly" whenever we don't play well. It's imperative that we go into the tournament in good form... however I agree that no injuries are the priority, but what happened with Nikopolidis? Is it a serious injury?

Genome Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 How serious was Nikopolidis' injury?Didn't look serious at all, it happened after he kicked the ball out on the field, seemed like his foot was a bit hurt but nothing too serious, but they took him off just to be safe.Tbh I don't know where these commentators see a game "gemato me pathos ap'tous dio plevres" ... ??? Yes Hungary is playing to win but Greece is at times just getting outplayed. I think we had two serious chances the whole half including the goal. I hope the second half will show a different spirit. @DUDE agree we can not say "it's just a friendly", although not getting hurt is very important at this stage of course. Players are walking on the pitch now ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Amanatidis out, Stelios in. Gekas out, Samaras in. 1-1 by their number 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irlandos Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Relax! Our NT has not gotten us used to constant attacking. Our game is usually to absorb any attacks and hit hard on the counter. 2nd half has started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mangas21 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 genome how u watching this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Could see this 1-1 coming from the previous half already. I hope Hungary exposes that every weakness right now. I'ld rather have it now than in two weeks at the Euro 2008. Tbh I don't see us winning today unless this goal has shaken them up. @ Irlandos: that might be but this defence is doing a lousy job at absorbing it, and the counter was non-existent so far. @ mangas21: through Greeklive (it's a paying service).

Irlandos Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Was the keeper or any defender at fault for the goal? The announcer hasn't mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakos13 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Xalkias........terrible on that goal. Right next to him, and a very predictable shot coming at him. Tzorvas should go in before Xalkias IMO hes a better shot stopper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genome Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Antzas seemed hurt and had to get off the pitch for a moment, don't know how many subs the coaches agreed on but our three have been used up already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
