Greece - Croatia ( Round 2, 2nd Leg - 12 Nov. 2017, Giorgos Karaiskaki, Piraeus)

[Ellada2004]

Croatia playing Anti Football! We had to bag a goal

[PAOKARA]

Team not playing like a team that needs 3 goals. What do they think this is a friendly? 

Pathetic first half from Greece. Have absolutely no idea what to do with the ball once it gets to half way. 

It's only 0-0 because Croatia have allowed it to remain that. 

[Omonoia9]

Forget about coming back. Just try to win this game. Have some pride!

[Ellada2004]

Screw Kuipers and FIFA

Unclassy as FK dont stoop to that level

[Chris Tsamados]

I still can't workout why we didnt get that penalty, lets see what Sky's experts make of it. 

[Ellada2004]

How's Fortounis off when he's our best delivery of a free kick? Wtf

[paokara777]

if Socratis scores on that volley this game would be so different

Yes

[Chris Tsamados]

Sky pundits showed the penalty claim and it was a definitely penalty. They all agreed. The defender pulled Zeca's shorts down! 

[Ellada2004]

Bakasetas and Tziolis shouldn't even play in friendlies...

[bbaw]

 

ANNOUNCERS SAY IT BEST.....

YOU ARE ASKING A TEAM BUILT ONE WAY FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS, TO PLAY A DIFFERENT WAY..."CHANGE THEIR DNA" IS THE WAY THEY PUT IT. 

VERY VERY TRUE...THATS WHY WE HAVE VERY LITTLE GOING FORWARD...WE DONT TRAIN FOR THAT, COACH DOESN'T LOOK FOR THAT AND CONSEQUENTLY, WE DONT PLAY THE WAY WE NEED TO TODAY...SO FAR. 

SO FAR.......LET SEE...45 MINUTES TO GO.

TSIOLIS OUT...FORTUNIS IN. IMMEDIATELY...

[Ellada2004]

When do we ever get a penalty!

Against Ivory Coast in Brazil? That's about it.

[nick]

There r too many players who have no business wearing the NT jersey.  Need a coach who won’t play politics. Bakasetas has zero control and zero vision. Lazaros looks like an mls player, and tziolis looks  like a Sunday beer league player 

[PaoOle]

Retsos cannot cross; need to put Stafilidis in and fortounis for bakasetas.

^RS, well summed post above. 

Here is a translation <for gsots>

It’s easy to pass judgement and criticism after the results my friend @gsots. That Tachtsides would see a red we all saw that coming (vs Belgium). We all criticized it, but it’s not something that you would say “that was a mistake by the coach, the [email protected]@[email protected] should not have kept him on the field” On the howler by Karnezis, what can you say for Scibbe. Wasn’t Karnezis a first team starter in 9 matches? There is no merit to leave him out. Anestis is in form, but he doesn’t play in a team that has the Back-pass all the time. Karnezis, how many matches has he experienced it. To be pressed by oppositions and constantly see the Mids/Backs pass it back to him.

The right back Maniatis is the only serious mistake by Skibbe on Thursday night and in the end, that determined the result. Let him put the left footed Lykogiannis, how much worse would he be? He has the height to cope with Perisic in the air and the freshness and thirst for recognition to chase him.

The rest tells me nothing about Skibbe. Tziolis, no coach preferred him. But in this matter his hands were tied.

The fact that out of the 3 "final" coaches accepted, only Skibbe accepted and the other 2 did not, because they wanted their own coaching team, while the EPO imposed that they include Tsana, for me says something that these laughable call ups and inclusions (Tziolis), and where was he (Tziolis) during Santos call ups, Ranieri call ups and Markarian call ups, in which none of them took a liking to Tziolis.

If some players have the dignity, and they say regardless of result tomorrow, there is no chance for us to qualify - and the issue is the appearance and maybe a psychological effect - they will have to announce their withdrawal from the national team tomorrow. In my opinion Tziolis-Maniatis. Tzavellas has had good matches. Let us not judge him from this last one.

However, Torosidis has also arrived outside of his age. Modern football is clearly a matter of fast players at the end and Torosidis is better than anything else we have, but his time has passed.

PS: I may have some of it misinterpreted.

 

Thanks for the translation, much appreciated.

RETSOS LOOKS VERY SHAKY....VERY NERVOUS ON THE BALL

Is your caps lock stuck? Anyway, whatever happened to Holebas?

[PaoOle]

Also refs same crap; Zeka got the ball early on; we had 2 players moving in the box and he gave handball.

I would agree to disagree. Classy keep watching the game, the croats are playing. Classy with the flopping and actions. 

[gsots]

There's too much running to the side when there's space to go forward. Bakashitas us a moron, he had so much room to walk in more. Tsiolis murdering our midfield again, waits till he's forced to one side by defenders before he makes a completely telegraphed pass
