Bardouuu Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 1 hour ago, Blackhawk said: Apparently EPO has arranged a friendly game against Turkey that will be played before the Euro qualifiers in June and will take place in a neutral venue (Germnay?). EPO is also hoping to arrange one or two additional friendlies against strong opponent during the NT preparations for the twu games in June. I read this as well! Here is the link: https://www.agonasport.com/agonasport-allnews/greece-to-play-turkey-in-international-friendly i really like this move from the coach, shows a lot of commitment and belief in the team. The article states that they are trying to organize games with Germany and Austria before the turkey game all in preparations for the qualifiers. They are taking this very serious and I couldn’t be any more happier with this move. 3
Blackhawk Posted April 26, 2019 Author Posted April 26, 2019 Looks like the game against Turkey will be played on May 30 and will take place most likely at Antalya, Turkey according to latest reports. 1
Ellada2004 Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 Greece to play Turkey sometime end of May. Also the EPO is trying to get friendly matches with Austria and Germany that would be very intriguing. Coach Ange has asked to have players released from their club duties so that he can hold a 10 day mini camp. I like the direction he is taking and it looks like EPO is starting to get themselves behind the NT again.
Jimmyp Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 I think it’s great that he’s being very strict, but I think having 3 friendliest 2 weeks before might be a little too much.
Ellada2004 Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Yes I think two would be best. Give some guys a look who are not regulars.
Dean97 Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 I think it’s not too much because it gives the new players a chance and a look at the same time with the regular players. 1
Brklyngrk Posted April 29, 2019 Posted April 29, 2019 Yea - I think he's doing it more to get people in, give them a go in practice. I like that he's taking these two games very seriously. 1
Blackhawk Posted April 29, 2019 Author Posted April 29, 2019 Three game before the first EURO game in June is fine. The last club game in Greece is the Greek Cup on May 11. That means there is almost a full month before the game with Italy. You don't want the players to be without any game action for that long. 3
Blackhawk Posted May 13, 2019 Author Posted May 13, 2019 The game against Turkey has been officially announced by EPO. It will be played on May 30, 2019 at Antalya Stadium in Antalya at 21:00 EEST. Also between May 22-29 the national team will take part in training camp in Apeldoorn, Holland before getting back to Athens for the two EURO games against Italy and Armenia. 5
paokarag4 Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 The NT played an unofficial friendly over night, against football academy GFA. Everyone played in the match except Stafylidis who arrived the day before the friendly took place. The Ethniki won 2-0 with Masouras and Kolouris scoring their "first" goals for the ethniki. You can read a report on the match below and see some highlights too. ReportHighlights 2

Alphonse Posted May 27, 2019 Posted May 27, 2019 Good to see. Fortounis will never learn how to score a quick low cross right in front of goal ?

Dean97 Posted May 28, 2019 Posted May 28, 2019 Does anyone know what’s the best streaming site to watch the game against Turkey?

Blackhawk Posted May 28, 2019 Author Posted May 28, 2019 Exactly. ESPN3 will have the game and it's a legal stream with good quality picture. Also if you have a cable or satellite provider that offers Univision Deportes they will show the game as well.

ausgreek Posted May 29, 2019 Posted May 29, 2019 With Toro and Mykonos missing, does this mean Sokratis is the skipper moving forward?? Im also going to ask Despina up the road.
paokarag4 Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 No idea how accurate this is as I can't find any news articles to confirm but according to Wikipedia (I may as well be making this up I know) We are playing Syria and Luxembourg in March. Also as per the Wikipedia page, we will be participating in the Kirin Cup a tournament held by Japan in June, we are set to play Japan on the 14th of June. Again I can't find a reliable source to back this up so who knows what's going on. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greece_national_football_team#2020 1

I hope this is true in regards to playing a the tournament in June as it will be good preparation for the nations league and world cup qualifiers.

Right on about the level competition for the friendly games, the EPO should have scheduled matches vs countries of higher pedigree. As for the tournament it's good to get games in but it's going to suck watching Euro's and Greece are not there..
Alphonse Posted December 16, 2019 Posted December 16, 2019 Ill be stunned better nations don't want to play us before Euro 2020
