J1078 Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Here is Skibbe's Press conference.. He has his main man Tzioliz with him. http://www.sport24.gr/football/ellada/ethniki_elladas/live-streaming-h-synenteyksh-tupoy-toy-skimpe.4712103.html
HellasLEAF Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Not sure what to make of this match. Before Belgium I'd have assumed a 1 or 2 goal loss. But this group played Belgium pretty tough away and was impressed (at least defensively). They have some of their backbone again. Hoping for a draw myself. 1 - 1 is my prediction.
Dampyr Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Bosnian media predict this lineup. I expected this too, I'm only not sure who will be that one DM between Bešić, Jajalo and Cimirot and maybe Cocalić will be one of CB's. Everything else no suprises.
js1000 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Absolute best case scenario for Greece is that we somehow manage to get a point from this game, midfield is non existent.
kbxk508 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Last I heard Scibbe had urgent talks with Otto and Kats. Here's the transcript ... Scibbe: First of all I would like to say thank you for your time. As you know this is an important match for Greece. I have convened this meeting to get advice from both of you esteemed gentlemen on who I should go with in the LB and midfield. Let me remind that Greece will missing Tzavellas, K Pap, Samaris and Tachtsides for this match Kats: Alexandros Tziolis, phone hangs up Scibbe: I like Stafylidis, Retsos and Lykogianis. One of them as the LB and the others in DM position, with one on left and the other on the right in a 4 2 3 1 formation. You know, I want to go with youth and energy for this match. All have done really well. Kats you still there? Hello Otto: Alexandros Tziolis, pause In the background, Otto can be heard munching on pretzels Scibbe: Otto, do you really think Tziolis can hold the line, play the link man in the middle and build attacks from the back, be well positioned in key set pieces when defending. You know, I need mobility in this position. Otto: You didn't you hear me? Alexandros Tziolis! continues to eat pretzels Scibbe: Otto, I respect what you achieved with Greece in winning Euro and all that, but did you know that Hearts lost there last 4 matches of the season. Not exactly the sort of form which gives me confidence. Otto: phone hangs up Scibbe: slight pause, then talks to self. "Well he is due for a good match. It's been nearly 3 years since he last played a good match in which Greece won. Law of averages, says he going to break that sooner or later. I have a gut feeling. Hangs up. Scibbe's phone rings Kara: Hello Mr Scibbe. Scibbe: Hi Giorgios. How are you? Kara: You know Mr Scibbe, with Tzavellas out for this match, I think you should play Maniatis in DM. He can stare down opposition, scare them. Also, knows how to win free kicks and can score goals from really long distance Scibbe: Thanks Giorgios, but did you know that Atromitos let Maniatis go after 11 matches. Kara: phone hangs up
J1078 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 This match will determine a lot for Greece as we all knew this would be the biggest match for us. It will be very difficult to contain Dzeko and Pjanic will control the pace of the game. I'm praying for a draw as I think that is our most realistic chance of getting something out of this match. If Greece can somehow score the first goal and early that will cause panic for the bosnians and it will make them press there defense even more and then maybe we can counter again. All in all I hope we don't get spanked and somehow get a point out of this. This game scares the s%$#! out of me.
kbxk508 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Nothing to fear. This isn't Germany, Brazil or Belgium. You forget what happened in our last match. We played last 30 minutes with Belgium and just conceded in the last 3 minutes. Greece usually comes to play in these situations. The reserves are decent players who have had good seasons at their clubs.

Rockafeller Skank Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Retsos is probably going to be a Starter. Left Back, CenterBack, DM. Noone knows.
J1078 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Do you guys think Retsos is a good choice in such a big game?
kbxk508 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Is this to be streamed into Australia. Usually ESPN show these matches online, but looks like they forgot this one.
Rockafeller Skank Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 I dont know but I heard he is gonna start. Even if it wasnt him, someone would have to debut, would it be Donis LW, Lykogiannis LB , Siopis DM. Someone would have to start new anyways. I would prefer to see siopis since we are going for the draw. A more mature player than Retsos.

kbxk508 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Yes he's a decent player to. Maybe both start. Unlikely.
Rockafeller Skank Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 I started saying it. I read he s gonna get a fanela vasikou in gazzetta.gr and in sports 24. I dont know the position though, I guess its gonna be DM.
kbxk508 Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 Starting 11 will be Karnezis Toro Soc Manolas Stafylidis Tziolis Zecca Mantalos Fortounis Bakasetas Mitroglou
