[Festivus]

Just like ancient Egyptians were aliens.

Looks good.

[Festivus]

Samaras looks like a hobo... and I'm a bearded heavy metal fan.

[Faliro]

Hobos can be trained to play football.. Samaras can't. He is a terrible footballer.

Fascinating game 0-0 FT. Greece out.

Now, as you may have in Portugal, many journalists give players 5/10 to say they were poor. For me 5/10 = average. So honest marks from the game today..

Karnezis 5/10. Not inspiring, not too bad.
Manolas 5/10.
Skoratis 5/10.
Stafilidis 6/10. Tried hard very few mistakes, lots of energy.
Torosidis 6/10. Made some opportunities.
K. Papadopoulos 5.5/10.
Samaris 5/10.
Christodolopoulos 1/10. He can't run past a defender, but it didn't stop him trying.
Fetfa 8/10. Total pleasure to watch.
Kone 1/10. Low quality player. Poor control and poor vision. Poor shooting too.
Athanasiadis 0/10. Nothing.

Samaras looks like a Fred Mercury son, using a nasty wig 

[Covenant]

Surprising that Faliro give the best number to Fetfa ahah

[Faliro]

He was just sensational as usual.. There are so few players in the world that breeze past defenders and put the ball on a plate for a striker consistently.  He skinned so many players today and ended up about 3 times in the box - laying the ball off to a striker or shooting. He is so unfortunate he was born Greek. Even if he was Albanian or Slovenian, he would be a household name by now. Greeks despise this player, but he - for me, is the best attacking midfielder in all the Balkan nations combined. He owned the game second half. Flicks, passes, control - he is like Giovinco  but far far better.

He needs to go to Spain or better, Benfica 

I've never watch him play, just some videos on utube. And he does look awesome in those videos. And with your sayings, I think he has the sufficient quality. But it would be good too, if he returned to Olympiakos. With VP, it would be great! We'll see what happens.

He is far better than those videos even, his control and ability is sensational. He has partially been destroyed by poor career choices, but he can been salvaged. Genoa are broke and have to offload him. They have not even paid Olympiacos the original fee to buy him. Greeks don't like Greek players who have this kind of ability, we are far more happy if they are Brazilian or Argentinian.

I think Benfica could pick him up very cheaply in the summer if you want him. I think he could be a fan favorite. Very very impressive player. Could probably get him for less than €5,000,000.

[PsychoFan]

I wish I had the number of Vieira.

Benfica would err less in transfers, seriously.

[Faliro]

I wish I was a agent...

No Kostzilla, no fun! Also, Athanasiadis sounds like a really bad player, or maybe it's just me and he sounds like Euthanasia...
