In the UK, most the media either said Greece won by luck or destroying football and playing 'ugly.' 99.9% of the UK wanted Portugal to win.

Many UK pundits, including Gary Lineker in the World Cup were openly saying on TV they hoped Greece would lose to the Ivory Coast and Costa Rica for the 'good of Football.'

Oh in that way.

Most people thought Greece played boring, yes. And many people in this country to this day still think that you did not deserve to win Euro 2004.

Regarding Kasami, believe me, he is going to be a breakthrough O0

just scored on his debut just now... Once again, the Benfica fans prove they know their stuff concerning football.  :metal: :metal:
I told you  O0 and Diamantakos scored, as well.

Goodbye Manolas, you are the best Greek CB I have seen (Kyriakos Papadopoulos also when not injured) and one of the fastest.. bye and thanks for the great performances..

The last time as an Olympiakos player, watching the game against Volou..

Well sold. I think it is a fair price. No % on future transfers of the player?

Roma became a very competent club. This year, they are the favorites to win the title in my opinion, due to Juve have hired Allegri. Manolas is an excellent sign.

KBMASTER

He is an excelent replacement of Benatia. He is a great prospect and I like his style better than Benatia's. Although, he has to keep improving.

No idea. No details, only the price.

Thrylos has been selling about a third of the starting eleven since January. Marinakis doesn't want the team to improve in the European competitions?


Faliro

I would like to say it is for money the club needs... but this is not the case..

I think.. if the price is good.... Greeks simply can't resist selling...

Just as Jews have the stereotype of saving money... Greeks tend to sell at any opportunity... they are also big spenders..

We have weakened our team immensely selling Weiss, Mitroglou, Samaris, Manolas... and we will still walk the Greek League...

Godescalco

Walking the Greek league has been a given for the past few years. At least, if and until PAO or PAOK can step up their acts. What I personally think should be a priority to Olympiakos is to build a team good enough to win, say, an Europa League.

But sadly, we seem to make it to the last 16 of the CL... I think our team is good enough for a Europa Semi...

An inferior Spaniard called Botia we picked up from Sevilla for €2 million...
Siovas (good player - always injured)
Avraam (finished as a footballer)
Abidal

Wow, Manolas looked poised to sign for Arsenal. To be honest Faliro, it could have been huge for greek football to have a top player sold to the PL.

Portugal started to make great sales once Paulo Ferreira, Ricardo Carvalho, Ronaldo and Mourinho took the PL by storm.

Today, football in England is that big that if you are sucessfull there, then doors open and that could have been an importante step for Greek football and their players. With all due respecto to Samaras, Manolas could have been that star. Mitroglu could have been as well, but that transfer to Fulham was a shot in the foot.
