Bakasetas is back. What you think about him Faliro?

I think he is one of the key reasons Greece has not qualified for an international tournament since 2014. Slow, bad passer, weak on the ball and has many games where he barely touches the ball despite being played as a 10. The Greek media adore him and many Greeks who don't understand football rate him. I don't think Panathinaikos will win anything while he is there. Any team that includes him is basically starting the game with 10 players.

My only guess why so many rate him is they like his face?

Bakasetas started his first game for PAO in the Greek Cup.

PAO lose at home to Atromitos 1-2.
First Terim loss at PAO.

Greek media immediately running defence for Bakasetas, whole articles explaining to the Greek people, you can't blame Bakasetas for the loss.

Faliro, can you give us a perspective about other sports in Greece?

For example:

Basketball - Benfica is the champion, but we have a Strong battle against Porto and Sporting. We Also have more Championships.

Futsal - Sporting is the better team. We had a European title in 2010, but our futsal section lacks organization.

Roller hockey - I believe you don't even know what this is.😂 We have the best League on the World, but it's only popular on Portugal and some regions of Spain, Italy and Argentina. Strong rivalry between Benfica, Porto and Sporting here with Oliveirense in the mix.

Volleyball - We didn't had a very good tradition on Volley, but in recent years it's out best section. Some smaller clubs have very good teams (Fonte Bastardo, Espinho, etc), but our biggest rival here is Sporting.

Handball - Se won the second best European competition recently, but it's out black sheep, it was a once in a lifetime thing. Sporting and Porto are very good and have more tradition on this sport.

Basketball - Probably the seconded biggest sport in the Greece but the strongest in terms of trophies and European competitions. Olympiacos won last year and our top this year domestically. PAO the other huge side. I would say only Real and Barca can match PAO and Oly in Europe. Aris and PAOK also have good teams and beautiful arenas. In fact Greek basketball infrastructure is very good.


Futsal - No idea. Only big team which competes is AEK and it doesn't even dominate the league.

Roller hockey - I don't think Greeks know about this.

Volleyball - Third biggest sport. Again, dominated by Oly and PAO. Violent fans sadly. Not much interest in European competition here.

Handball - AEK and OLy dominate. PAO never even won a trophy in this. This sport is always in the sports media but i don't follow it.

The one missing is waterpolo. Greeks love this sport.

We must also remember Greeks are big gamblers. I suspect many Greeks follow these sports simply to gamble.

Yes, a lot.

Also most stadiums have betting shops in the stadium. Our Greek cup and indeed the Super League is sponsored by a betting company. Olympiacos, Panathinaikos, Aris, PAOK, Panaitolikos etc all sponsored by betting companies. The largest gambling company in Europe is OPAP, owned by the owner of AEK..

Are you placing turkish league transfer rumours on a greek topic just to poke the bear?

Dynamo 2
PAOK 0

Olympiacos 1
Tel Aviv 4 (Squad worth less than €20 million..)

As usual, Greek clubs choke vs easy opponents when it matters.

PAOK had zero ambition vs Dynamo despite being far far better.

Oly were appalling. Retsos is not even good enough to be in Olympiacos B yet the loony Greek media still adore him..

Carvalhal is back?!😂

Carvalhal is back?!😂

Mendilibar signed a contract till 2025 after the Maccabi thrashing..

We are in freefall. Anytime an opponent enters our area, they score.

We probably need a DM.
