DUDE Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 ethnikistis, im not sure about the tickets..i would assume that they have a certain number of tickets to give to their fans, they rarely bar international matches for visiting fans..as for your cousins, how old r they? i remember the last time i went to turkey i phoned my grandfather to tell him i was going and he told me "an kapoios sou lei kati giati eisai ellinas, thos' tou mia klotsia sta a*****a." ..i was also 17 at the time :D :LOL: They are 15-17 but the boys are really quite innocent and if someone says something they'd s%$#! themselves. Last time there were no exchange of fans and i thought it might be the same this time so whether they go or not depends on that. As for me, I REALLY want to go but I have an exam on Monday at 9am and there are no available flights back to London until 2am on Sunday so I'll arrive back at uni an hour before the exam with no sleep. I'm in 2 minds about whether to go or not, do i think of my degree programme or the ethniki?? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest geok Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Back to football: Recent News: Otto surprized everyone again by calling Kapsis to our National squad. Perhaps the German knows more, but remember that the last time we used Kapsis, we lost 1-0 to France in the recent friendly, from his mistake. The German had better win these 2 games, whatever squad he chooses, otherwise...many patriots will be very angry at him, to say the least... :gr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest geok Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 On a more positive note, Kafes is injured and therefore he won't be in our National squad. This makes it more likely for more able players to be called, at last. Perhaps luck is with us at this crucial period! :gr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest geok Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 It has been said that Basinas, despite his injury, is expected to be ok by the time we play against Turkey. He may not be 100% ready though. Otto will only use him if is is fit and there is still a chance for that. What do you think about Kapsis' call to our national squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loup Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Kapsis? I mean, why?I guess - he thinks that if he has to go to his 4th central defender - he might as well have a veteranSO who will be the defenders Giorkas Fyssas Kapsis Kyrgiakos IN Goumas Anatolakis Likely That means we need backups on the wings Torosidis - I think, but you never know Vyntra - has been there before Lagos - was a bust back there Leontiou- he looked half decent back there recently Dellas- Patsa out? What is Darlas' story? Anyone eles??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFI-mtl Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 This is becoming comical,I think Otto has a list of 24 players and just uses those names. Can some one tell me that they are more Comfortable with Kapsis then with Tavlaridis. Tavlaridis even if he does not start he must be on the bench and begin the grooming proces to fit in with Kyriakos (is he fit??)...what are we waiting for Dellas and Kapsis ..those 2 played there HEARTS out for the team but that was 3 years ago..there play has gone not downhill but plumeting off the cliff. Otto shows no vision with his decisions. Basinas better be straight with Otto does not pull a Lagos and tell him he is good to go then show up a mess!,cuz I know that broken ribs dont heal kwik, can he possibly be fully fit to START , in my opinion NO WAY. If Basinas can not go does Zikos get the call( I like Tziolis).....No there is always Zagorakis(I'm not kidding watch for this one if Basinas cant go.)

bides Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Nice to see Rehagal calling up Mr Kapsis from Apoel he told him to find a team and he did.. He is actually playing quite well there they are 4 points ahead of Omonia and looking to win a championship... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarvis1981 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Too early for predictions but i think we will win this one. We are determen to prove that we are a good team. :gr: :gr: :gr: :gr: Greece is a good team and are tough at home to beat. I really think there is more pressure on Turkey not to lose this game as I believe they play Norway the following week. A win by Greece puts them in good position for the balance of the preliminary draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

File a team like Greece can't afford to look to the future until qualification is secured. We are not Brazil who can leave out Ribo, England who leave out Beckham, Holland who leave out Van Nistelrooj, etc. Taking a gamble on Tavlaridis for such a big game is a HUGE risk. Anatolakis isn't good enough leaving only Goumas or an unfit Dellas to partner Kyriako. Otto decided to go with Kapsis who is tried, tested and experienced in such a big game. Have faith! ;) :gr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

File mou in principle I agree with you (although I'd prefer Tavlaridis to replace Anatolakis instead of Kapsis). However, Tavlaridis has been hugely inconsistent with Lille this season (he was even dropped for a long period). The point is he has to prove himself. Now I agree that the only he can do that is to play for Greece and show what he can do, however, this is not the time to start his "trial" because if it doesnt work out and we lose to Turkey and slip up with Malta we won't be at Euro 2008 and won't have the luxury of discussing who should replace Kapsis. Our priority is to get there. However, like I said I agree with you in principle and he should've been in the squad instead of Anatolakis. I'm really nervous about this game. It means so much, but I dont see where the goals will come from. I really hope Salpi starts, if not we won't score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think there is more pressure on Turkey not to lose this game as I believe they play Norway the following week. A win by Greece puts them in good position for the balance of the preliminary draw. I disagree . The pressure on the home side is everytime higher... example: Turkey cant play good in front of their own people but outside they play (sometimes) unbelievble good.....but this depend strongly on the fitnes of the players... This game is really NOT predictable cause no Turk does really know how fit each turkish NT player is ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
