well taken long ranger - reminded me of Saurez doing one similar years back.
Some nice play and finishs despite the deflected one.
Put aside your league political probs that never seem to stop for decades - there is some good greco players always.
Whats the prob getting better national team results always ?

Money, violence and egos.....

Good news is Greece is finally starting to come into a purple patch of young player development...

Tzimas and Kostoulas are both playing regularly in EPL (Tzimas with a brace on debut too) as is Mavropanos.
Pavlidis is leading the line in Benfica and Ioannidis scoring for fun for Sporting.. Even Tsimi going on loan to Roma seems to have brought out the best in him, getting regular assists and almost a goal (ruled marginal offside) the other day..

Karetsas at Genk, wont be there for very long and one to watch for me... has the makings of an exceptional player....

Greece will be competitive at the Euros with some football that will surprise many. Qualifying for the World Cup was a step too far this time round sadly

ah good, so you can beat Portugal again at next euros hahaha
What a hoot that would be lol.....
Tsimi, kurkez sure hasn't stepped right in let alone the other OTT buys but for Ekitike.
I'm glad he's playing regular start up football.

Not sure where to put this....i dont have a lot of compliments about this article....i guess its newsworthy that Swchab thinks like this given his position (what is that again?)

A bizarre friendly yesterday and a even more bizarre result as Burundi who finished 2nd bottom of their World Cup qualifying group played Burundi B in a friendly match.

The B team was made up of all local / reserve players and remarkably they beat the first team 4-3.

How about that…

There’s definitely merit in the idea of us doing that, as I mentioned in this thread from a year ago:

Thread 'an Australia A side for the Socceroos'

Nov 18, 2024

As we know, it’s a time-honoured feature of int. cricket & rugby..and apparently of ️ in decades past too.

The actual logistics of setting it up aside, is there merit to bringing this back? Arnie himself once flagged the idea(one of his few good ones, IMO) of reviving it:

I’d watch Australia v Australia A and I reckon a lot of the other football tragics here would too.

Real Madrid C.F. apologises to Elche C.F. and its player André da Silva for having mistakenly included his image in the obituary of an institutional video instead of that of André Silva, the brother of Diogo Jota, the Liverpool player. We regret this incident.
