Euro2004 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Personally I think you guys are deluded if you think there will be a great atmosphere at this game, but we'll see. Does anyone have any info on tickets for this game anyway? Are they available yet? And if so does anyone know where the "hardcore" Greek fans sit in OAKA for the NT games? (I know gate 13 sit behind the goal for PAO's games but where do the hardcore sit for the Greece games, if they even exist?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plato-ny Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 http://www.reuters.com/article/GCA-SwineFl...lBrandChannel=0 Excerpt on the H1N1 outbreak in Ukraine: She said Ukraine was in touch with international football authorities to discuss whether the measures would have any effect on two international fixtures scheduled for November. Ukraine is scheduled to host a UEFA Champions' League soccer clash between Dynamo Kiev and Inter Milan on November 4 and a World Cup qualifying play-off between Ukraine and Greece on November 18. "We are considering (imposing) a quarantine not only in the west but also across the country, because the virus is spreading very fast," Health Minister Vasyl Knyazevych told reporters.

RogueTrader Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Looks like Sotirios Kyrgiakos is going to be fit. What a shame!!! Even the English Press have started referring to him as the 'Greek tragedy' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...fa-Benitez.html It didn't take long. OTTO!!!!!! Pls don't select this clown!

Genome Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 In his place will stand a centre half who struggled even to make an impact at Rangers - the distinctly unimpressive Sotirios Kyrgiakos - alongside Agger, assuming he makes it. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...l#ixzz0VuAAYKPd Are they for real? :D Distinctly unimpressive? I don't agree at all but it seems like some English guy has to break down a Greek player just because he wasn't brought in for a huge sum of money. Kyrgiakos is class although I know some here absolutely don't agree. Let's just wait and see what he does tonight before calling him a tragedy!

Genome Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Interim national team ranking out UEFA has published an interim national team coefficient ranking following the end of the FIFA World Cup qualifying group stage this week.

Kyrgiakos, Avraam, Moras, Tzorvas - OUT!!!!! Hahaha, that's laughable. Go to the Kyrgiakos board and see the ratings goal.com have given him. He's been Liverpool's better defender in every game he's played. Skrtel and Carragher have been Liverpool's "tragedies" this season but the British press are reluctant to rip into one of their boys. Trust me, I've seen every one of the 4 games he's played in and he certainly hasn't been a tragedy. He's hands down the best centre-back Greece has.

Defensively he's not that great and he's part of a team that really reflects him individually: very good going forward, not great defensively.

RogueTrader Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 He's hands down the best centre-back Greece has.Euro2004, Genome,I'm sorry but Sotiris Kyriakos is the worst Greek defender of all time. I've posted this numerous times. He boarders on disgraceful. He reminds me a lot of the defenders that played in the World Cup in 94. Would have looked good in the 70' and 80's - slide tackling, ball watching freak!! Greece won Euro 04 because Dellas was absolute class and Kyriakos was injured at the time...FACT!!!!! Did you not see his disgusting performance in Euro 08 against Sweden??? Please don't try and justify it - just watch. To save you time forward to 4:34 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doiTck6K-os Here is a player who got caught out playing for the foul instead of trying to win the ball which directly led to Sweden's second goal. He then feigned injury trying to cover up his f*ck up. He was also partly at fault for the first goal by ball watching the 1-2 He's hands down the best centre-back Greece has my arse!!! Watch the game against Israel, we're up one-nil and what has this guy done... created 3 chances for Israel by unnecessarily slide tackling every blade of grass, missing everytime. He's made Ben Sahar look world class. All he does is slide tackle. While all world class centre backs in 2009 know you should always stay on your feet....this prick just slide tackles...nothing more. Unless you can provide me with evidence that he is quality defender (don't waste your time) I rest my case. We need to tighten up our defense. GK - Sifakis RB - Giourkas CD - Papastathopoulos CD - ? LB - Spyropoulos Torosidis should play in the mid. Just for the record, Avraam and Moras are just as s%$#!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB - Spyropoulos Torosidis should play in the mid. Just for the record, Avraam and Moras are just as s%$#!. Against Sweden he made a big mistake, yes. But I suggest you go and watch the whole 90 mins again. Apart from that one instant he had Ibrahimovic in his back pocket the whole game.He's lost half yard of pace making him alot more rash which is why he slides alot. I agree he's an idiot for doing that. This is a newly developed habit because of his lack of pace, he slides because he's stretching because he simply can't get there anymore. He's not the defender he was for the 2 years during the Euro2008 qualifiers when he was one of Europe's best. But like you say, Avraam is s%$#! and Moras is mediocre, so who plays ahead of Kyrgiakos. Also Papastathopoulos is not good enough to marshall a 2 man defence on his own, which is why we have to play 3 at the back (3-5-2 suits us best).

Guest geok Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 We have a lot of injuries and problems in the team. I can only count on the desire of some players, especially the older ones (Karagounis, Katsouranis) and the ego of the younger players, to give their 110% in the pitch and win the war against Ukraine. Remember that this is a two game war so even a marginal victory Athens may be sufficient. only 5 days left then! :gr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro2004 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Why hasn't Seitaridis made the squad? :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallofsoccer88 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 From Goal.com. Greece national team coach Otto Rehhagel has announced his 22-man squad for the upcoming World Cup play-off against Ukraine. The German gaffer somewhat surprisingly opted to give Olympiacos forward Kostas Mitroglou a call-up for the crucial games at home on November 14 and the trip to the Ukraine four days later. Mitroglou grew up in Germany and was a product of Borussia Monchengladbach's youth academy. He has yet to make his official Greece debut. Rehhagel has some injury worries in defence as Panathinaikos' Giorgos Seitaridis and Christos Patsatzoglou of Cypriot side AC Omonia are both out of the crucial two-legged clash. Additionally, highly rated striker Ioannis Amanatidis of Bundesliga outfit Eintracht will also miss the crunch clash. Full Squad: Goalkeepers: Costas Halkias (PAOK Salonica), Alexandros Tzorvas (Panathinaikos), Michael Sifakis (Aris Salonica) Defenders: Lukas Vyntra, Nikos Spyropoulos (Panathinaikos), Vangelis Moras (Bologna), Avraam Papadopoulos,Vasilis Torosidis (Olympiacos), Socrates Papastathopoulos (Genoa), Sotiris Kyrgiakos (Liverpool). Midfielders: Kostas Katsouranis, Giorgos Karagounis, Alexandros Tziolis and Sotiris Ninis (Panathinaikos), Grigoris Makos (AEK Athens), Vasilis Pliatsikas (Schalke 04) Forwards: Dimitris Salpingidis (Panathinaikos), Fanis Gekas (Bayer Leverkusen), Giorgos Samaras (Celtic), Kostas Mitroglou (Olympiacos), Vasilis Koutsianikoulis (PAOK), Angelos Charisteas (Nuremberg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clover22 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Seitaridis isn't injured, he played yestderday Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he's played mostly lousy football for the past 5 years. He's not essential to the team and is like a shadow of his 2004 self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
