It’s mind boggling we have to wait until Jun for meaningful matches against Kosovo and Cyprus/Estonia at 4am Fri or Tue AEST. We will need all our top players fit and in form, 4 games in a span of 10 days. The team will have to be focused and ready to go we cant have any slip ups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with 10 points in those 4 games. Going 4/4 will be super tough due to match congestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its going to come down to us vs Northern Ireland and that first match in Belfast will be huge. A win will set us up just fine going into the other matches.

Blackhawk Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 It was a dumb move by UEFA to cramp the first 4 rounds in June, when most leagues would be finished by mid May at the latest. Most player's minds will be on vacations and won't care too much about giving it all for the national team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could see a big tick in effort and pride. I think we are going to realize what opportunity we have in front of us and if we do end up dropping points, it won't be from a lack of interest.

Lets hope our key players are all fit and available for these matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyp Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 4 games in 10 days is not an excuse for anyone in particular. Everyone is in the same boat. Let’s not go out and say only Greece is suffering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 It's not only Greece that is suffering. It's the players from all the teams that would rather be resting and looking ahead at the upcoming season. Let's not also forget that there will be about 1 month between the leagues ending play and the national team games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellada2004 Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Looks like our first two NL games in Greece will most likely be played in Volos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean97 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Should be at leoforos but Volos stadium is still decent. Edited March 10, 2022 by Dean97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 The roof at Leoforos colapsed 2 month ago and needs to be rebuild. Volos is ok, but Vikelidis, Toumba or AEL FC Arena would be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paokarag4 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 The winners of League C have been decided, along with Greece the other group winners are: Turkey, Georgia and Kazakhstan. These 3 along with Greece will be promoted to League B for the next edition of the Nations League. Furthermore, they are potential opponents in the event Greece doesn't directly qualify for Euro 2024, in the playoffs. Of course if any of those group winners qualify directly they would also be replaced with lower ranked nations in the playoffs, so we may end up avoiding them all together. As things stand assuming none of the 4 qualify directly, we would have to beat 2 of Turkey, Georgia and Kazakhstan to qualify for Euro 2024. The format is a one-off playoff game, 2 semis and a final with the winner gaining qualification. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omonoia9 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 I made this post originally in the Kosovo-Cyprus thread: So here are the scenarios. Cyprus could finish anywhere from 2nd to 4th(and last) in this group. Best case scenario, Greece beats NI in Athens and Cyprus wins this game in Kosovo. Cyprus gets 2nd. Cyprus can also get 2nd with a win at Kosovo and a draw in Athens. Cyprus can finish 3rd with a draw and a Greek win over NI, or a win at Kosovo with a Northern Irish win in Athens. Unless Greece absolutely lays down a smackdown big enough to overcome the goal differential with NI, and Cypriot loss sees Cyprus finish last and facing another relegation playoff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
