No Kastouranis, Samaras, Karagounis, Salpingidis, Gekas. Huge hole was left that campaign. The last euro we were okay. We gave Belgium a run for their money and they were top 4 and got knocked by Croatia who was in the final. The other tournys were we qualified we got in by 2nd and knock out rounds to Ukraine and Romania. A lot of things lined up. Yes we lost the legend Karagounis and Katsouranis but Ranieri was a guy who was just there for a quick pay day and obviously had no clue what he was doing. The EPO after firing him said he was a disaster of a hire. (They are as much to blame as well) Skibbe for all his faults at least got us some positive results vs Belgium in Brussels was a great draw and we played them so tough in Athens. He got us to a world cup playoff where we got screwed by FIFA on the manolas one game suspension.

Dont get excited I don't want Skibbe back just pointing out that he did get some good results. Could you imagine the tinker man Ranieri or these other coaches we've had leading us into Belgium we would have lost by 3 plus goals.
