Omonoia9 Posted September 1, 2016 Author Posted September 1, 2016 Propper from way out, easy for Kapinos
Aitolos1926 Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 so pissed I'm at work and can't watch the game. My thumb is cramping up pushing the refresh button on this forum. So excited though from what I'm reading. I think we can give belgium a run for their money if we keep this form. Hope fortounis is ok
Antaeus7 Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 TELOS!!!!! 2-1!!!!!!!! FIRST WIN EVER AGAINST THE NETHERLANDS!!!!! 3

Chris Tsamados Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Wow can't believe it we won! Just gutted the only time I have a really good stream and we manage to win, I can't watch most of the game because im commuting home. Still last two games wins vs Australia and Holland, can't be bad! 1
Antaeus7 Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Greece played so well after the equalizer, it's like a totally different style of football they played. Well, they better start playing like that from now on if they want to go to Russia. Edited September 1, 2016 by Molon Lave
Triffili04 Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 This isn't the same Dutch team from the past but still a great result to build confidence on. I was impressed with the passing and pressing of the players.
PAOKSYD Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 We looked very good, we cannot.always whinge and cry we were awesome put their today! Great to have k paps back!! Mantalos and mitroglou were also fantastic. Can we destroy grobaltar and move forward!
Greekaroos Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Everyone still refuses to acknowledge the importance of the Maniatis & Samaris combination in the central midfield??? He returned to the national team against Australia after being out for a year due to injury & we once again don't allow teams to beat us by controlling the center of the park.
OFIMTL Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 This was not our dads or even my younger years Holland BUT take nothing away from our team. Even before the 1st goal Greece was pressing the ball and closing in very quickly..1st time in a along time that we wanted to recoup the ball that quickly. I enjoyed watching this team play alot of one touch close passoulais..MITRO was a giant today..looks very fit they could not handle him..Mandalos and Fortounis were just fine out there..When was the last time a GREEK cross had 4 targets in the box and was not a free or corner kick. No complaints today even on Tzavellas or Maniatis ( they must go)...I cant see us stumbling out of the gate come Tuesday. Very happy with Skibbes tactics today..We will probably see the same starters wouldnt mind Giannotas for Holebas. Great start to a LONG WEEKEND...now can Canada pull a mini miracle tomorrow. 1

Akritis_1944 Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Calm down everyone. It was just a friendly. Our defence is still tragic at times. How many saves did our keepers have to make in the match? I'd say way too many. It's very clear that what was once our strength in defence is now our Achilles heel. The truth is that I'd take a loss in this match with a 5-0 over Gibraltar next week. That's where it counts.
Akritis_1944 Posted September 1, 2016 Posted September 1, 2016 Nick I agree. These are just friendlies, but just to remind those who may not have seen that match against Australia in Melbourne. Hellas literally and metaphorically demolished Australia in that first 30 minutes. I have never seen pressing like that before. It took Australia nearly 10 minutes to get out of their own half. Hopefully that match is the turning point and after the win tonight we build momentum going in to the real matches. 2
Dean97 Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Who else thought that Kyriakos was better than Manolas today.
Rockafeller Skank Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 Ok so i decide to ditch a match after 15 mins when we re losing 1-0 coz its a no-hope, and focus on getting laid with a chick, she comes over we watch the cartoon movie zootopia and we fuk and I end up missing our best match in 2 years and 2 months? Nah man, that's unfair. 1
Rockafeller Skank Posted September 2, 2016 Posted September 2, 2016 So , enlighten me, are we gonna win the WC 18 or nah?

Are you even trying ? Our defence couldn't let them break into our goallie area (i didnt watch the match just the highlights) and like all their shots apart from their goal were outside the area. Our defence worked almost perfectly. With an unfit Torosidis, an unfit 6ari named Maniatis and our 3rd choice LB we didn't give them much space to handle. And yeah, Huntelaar was missing - their best CF right now (since RVP is probably not competing at NT level again), Arjeen Robben,Janmaat were missing, but: Wijnaldum was there, Sneidjer was there, Klaasen was there, Quincy Promes was there (most of u dont know about this talent but hes gotten lots of focus from the dutch media), Nasrigh,BasDost were there offensivewise. Defensivewise, Bruma, Zoet(the best GK they have according to Dutch themselves in international football forums), Blind, Strootman, Willems, they were there. Apart from Huntelaar, I still don't believe in Arjeen Robben being the dutch NT's σημαία coz he is being at least 4 months/year (summer excluded) injured which means the team - the same team that has qualified in every tournament lately apart from euro 16 - has made it there with or without his help. We beat a powerhouse team's A+B team combined, some A players played some B players played. We had Tzavellas as a Left Back and we saw Bakasetas, Maniatis,Papadopoulos and Kapinos play, so what? This is a good result. I don't know if the team has big chances to qualify for the WC but I know they will fight for it. The fact that we ended up in Pot 3 for this tournament qualifiers is the reason qualification is a big IF, were we in Belgium's side and having a pot 3 team like Montenegro/Finland instead would mean no big trouble. Also, Cyprus beating Turkey is bad news. 1
