Omonoia9 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Hey just stick morfis in goal, leave it to Okkas, Mihalaki, bidis, krassas, Aloneftis and what have you, and I GUARANTEE, victory over switzerland. Like so. '5 SUI Johan Vonlanthen '28 CYP Mihalis Konstantinou '87 CYP Yiannakis Okkas W-Morfis L- Zuberbuhler As usual Cyprus will concede an early goal, a beautiful goal by Vonlanthen. Also as usual, we will soon tie it, Mihalaki doing the honors. The Swiss start to control the match and gthe first half ends 1-1 but not before Morfis simply robs Frei. The second half is even more Swiss controlled, but they struggle breaking a stellar Cyprus D. But a free kick by Frei is sharply blocked, by a wall of Cypriots and gives Hakan Yakin an open look. The shot is hard and on target but Morfis does well to save and force the corner, which he ends up catching. Later, a weird bouncing ball seems to be going out for a goal kick, Morfis lets it go, but frei isn't giving up and from a horrible angle he has a nice effort that dings off the post, and Morfis who hadn't been paying attention, and found himself on the other, was fortunate to do so because the ball off the post goes off Vonlanthen's head and right into Morfis's hands. In the 87th a Swiss outlet pass is picked off by Okkaridis and finds Konstantinou who crosses up Murat Yakin and rifles a shot that Pascal Zuberbuhler stops but the velocity of the shot makes it nearly impossible for Zuberbuhler to hang on to and the ball hits off an unsuspecting Okkas and goes in. Okkas scores by accident, like he's done many times before, and cyprus achieves the upset. 2-1 over Switzerland, or Suisse, or Schweiz, or even Svizzera, damn CH too many languages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakos13 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 W-Morfis L- Zuberbuhler what is the point of this??? if the score was 2-1 wouldnt that be obvious anywys? football is not a battle of keepers....its very rare a keeper can take control and have the influence of his team to win a game.....but whateceer........ GO CYPRUS SCREW SWITZERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallofsoccer88 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 If Cyprus are going to pull the upset (which I'm hoping for :tup: ) it'll probably end up like OlympiakosUSA5 said/predicted. Best of luck to the Cypriots, if you can beat Spain, then you can surely beat these guys. :) B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallofsoccer88 Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 For some reason, Johan Vonlanthen didn't play against France :blink: :unsure:. This surprised me cuz he seems like their forward of the future and played pretty good at the Euro and is doing pretty well for PSV. Switzerland getting a 0-0 result in France scares me a bit, although this means they'll go defensive as Cyrpus's strength is probably offense (Konstantinou). This seldom works (regardless of who plays it), so Cyprus should score (90% Konstantinou, 5% Okkas 5% other). I think the Cypriots will finally get in on the upset routine we pulled throughout the Euro 2004, and finally get something out of a dismal qualifing campaign. FORZA CYPRUS! :o :la: :box: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakos13 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Cyprus lost 1-0 in the 87th - i saw the game.....Cyprus has some good players but still isnt that great organized, they are a very physical and hardworking team. Best player was easily Mixalakhs who had some great chances and unlucky not to score.....Okkas sucks but he is an amazing dribbler. Passing, shooting forget it though he simply cant do it! the worst player was Chrysostomos, this guy plain sucks. I was also surprised to see Krassas as a left back.......stupid move he should be on the right wing or something. Bidis was dissapointing, He was pretty bad and really cocky, though in the first 20 mins he was good... an on/off player for sure. first half cyprus made some chances but the second half was all swiss.....they were a more experienced and organized in their attack...

Just got back from Mexico........... Great time.... Read up on the game down there... Cyprus should have scored in the first half... Drakos your right Chrystomos sucks... He was not suppose to start Satsias was..... I think Annastiades made one mistake all game putting on Yiasemi instead of Aloneftis>>>> Aloneftis is the fastest player on Cyprus and one of the most talented... I think Yiasemi is useless.. Good effort by the team this coach will turn the players moral around... I heard a very good showing of Greek supporters c ame to cheer on the boys....... bravo Ellas for getiing six points.... good look to Cyprus in the next matches...Did you see Konstantinou is a keeper as well funny stuff..

Omonoia9 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 What sucks is that from what I hear, Konstantinou got robbed by Zuberbuhler 3 times in 10 minutes. Well Drako, I guess that's one of those rare instances where a keeper takes control of the game. As for Aloneftis, he came in way too late. Hopegully, Georgallidis is back against Faroe Islands, maybe we can at least beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irlandos Posted April 5, 2005 Share Posted April 5, 2005 Saw the game and it was a heart-breaker :( As Anastasiadis said afterwards, a draw would have been a much more just result. PS. Mihalis Konstantinou looked funny with those GK gloves on :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omonoia9 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Del Piero, Totti, Buffon, I hate to say but we'd have little chance.i don't see Mihalaki or okkas scoring on Buffon. If giorgallidis plays, maybe we steal a draw. I really see the keepers making a huge difference, especially for cyprus, because italy will probably only need a goal.

drakos13 Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 keepers rarley make the difference in a game like this.....any player (minus Okkas, who cant score even with no goalkeeper) can score on any keeper that is the nature of the game and the REALITY. It just depends on their shot, position circumstances.....if a ball swings in from a cross up closs and mixalh gets a clean head on it it will rip a hole in the net regardless of what jackass is in goal.....
