Ruiz, Boateng and now possibly Mitroglou. The lizards are building a solid squad.
How good is this guy:
Marcos Paulo Gelmini Gomes

I can barely remember him.
Portugal vs. France at Alvalade tomorrow.
What a terrible game that was. The National Team is a joke nowadays.
For me the beggining eleven should be something resembling this:
GK: Bruno Varela
Defenders: Coentrão, Fábio Cardoso, Sílvio
Midfielders: Pizzi, Bernardo Silva, Ivan Cavaleiro, Nuno Santos, Hélder Costa
Forwards: Nélson Oliveira, Gonçalo Guedes
World Class team, in my opinion! :victory:
Santos on Greek culture :whistle2: :
Passou muito tempo na Grécia, entre clubes e seleção. O que é que aprendeu e o que é que ensinou?
Olha, o que eu sempre disse foi que, quando cheguei à Grécia, eles tinham maus hábitos de trabalho. Tinha uma explicação... cultural. O grego janta muito tarde, nunca antes das 22h30; o grego gosta de ficar a falar até tarde e de deitar-se às duas, três da manhã... Eu marquei um treino para as oito da manhã, e vieram dizer-me que às oito não dava, porque havia muito trânsito. Então, fui ao quadro e marquei para as sete da manhã. E eles ficaram a olhar para mim, espantados. Até um médico veio falar comigo, a dizer-me que treinar de manhã não era bom fisiologicamente [risos].

Derby next week. Sporting has tied 0-0 away at D. Afonso Henriques(Guimarães). They're only 1 point ahead of us now.
It's do or die now. A draw wouldn't be the end of it for us, but obviously a win is the best possible result.

Porto general meeting live. It's worse than North Korea.
Many Porto supporters protesting are being silenced by Super Dragões members, Pinto da Costa's armed wing.

Perhaps. But in Porto send Super Dragões. They are a gang like Mafia already burned cars coaches when the results aren't good, they have blow in Pinto da Costa opponents. They are total animals with a long crimynal history.

Tough game tonight.

Good match.

I don't agree with you. Greece in 2004 defends very well and counterattack was exceptionally. A bit like Italy. This isn't bad play.
For some reason they eliminated France and Czech Republic.
Greece 2004 were FANTASTIC. They would counter and put like 5 guys in the area. That´s not defensive...Football masterpiece

I see the match between Jorge Mendes Team vs Austria.
Portugal has a curse with France. Now it's time to revenge.
Sensational result.
All the Greeks wanted Portugal to win - there is still much much respect for Santos and Greeks in general are not big francophiles.
What a game and the correct result. Portugal will remember this day for many many many years. Well done.

"I'd like to give my thanks to Greece.
"Cristiano is an amazing example. Today he tried to remain on the pitch. He was very strong in the locker room, he helped all of the boys, that 's the definition of teamwork.

If we were champions it was without a doubt of the greek knowledge that he gattered during his time in there.
So in a way yeah, i feel like there is a litle bit of "Greek" under this portuguese triumph, as ironical as it might be since we put france under our own shoes for the euro 2004 final.

He spent a lot of years at PAOK especially. He was actually popular almost everywhere he went in Greece. I think Greeks could relate to his face - which carried an incredible amount of misery. :2funny:
There are too many ironies about this Portuguese triumph..beating the French on their home tournament.. the scars have truly been healed.
I think what Santos learnt in Greece was how to deal with personalities. He became an expert. I have heard Greeks bad-mouth nearly every manager who has stepped foot in Greece - but never one bad word for Santos. He became an expert man manager. I mean to deal with Greeks - successfully.. is like completing boot camp for the Special forces. All the good wishes to him and Portugal from Greeks is genuine. He has a special bond with Hellas.
the Greek connection.. with Benfica.. with Santos.. with even me being here.. something important has definitely exchanged. Greece is on the most extreme south eastern point in Europe and Portugal the most West. I think the cultural exchange is mutually beneficial and I don't think it stops after today either.

Portugal played like a team. People feared the worst with all the focus on Ronaldo but they were actually a team this tournament unlike in 2014.
Also, Faliro, I noticed that I barely saw any fear among people in the days before the final. Maybe many of us knew, deep down, that we'd take it home? It's kinda odd... was that how you and others felt before the 2004 final? i recall you saying something about it...

Correct. As you probably know Greeks are doom merchants most the time. The days before the Euro 2004 final however - every single Greek I spoke to - without exception, believed Greece would win. I was like.. :huh: I questioned them further.. they just said, 'we are going to win..just watch.' Even my mother put money on Greece to win the tournament just before the tournament.. I thought she was insane. Having been to many games and been involved in football for many years I can state categorically this attitude was unprecedented and not seen before or since. Even when Greece play someone like Lichtenstein there are false smiles of confidence.. However before Euro 2004 there was a real feeling, Greeks would not leave Portugal without taking the Cup.
The Portuguese who live very near me made a barbecue yesterday and they all seemed very relaxed about the whole thing also.
Sometimes.. it is just your time..
However I also feel the Portuguese deserved it. Both in the game itself and historically. Portugal has a strong football tradition (and Roller Hockey of course.. I joke) and fully deserved this Cup.

Well not everyone was confident in the victory, but I didn't see anyone scared shitless. I think people were like "well if we win yeah, if we lose... well it's against the host and we didn't impress much so..." I guess there wasn't that much pressure.
Ronaldo's injury was of concern not because of him per se but because it could affect the team psychology... and it did for about 20 mins or so.
I actually like the way Portugal play without Ronaldo sometimes. Who knows what would have happened if he hadn't taken that knock.

Indeed, also i may add, arguably Greece's best player was also missing from the Euro 2004 final.. Karagounis. He has a similar character in that everything has to be about him. He takes every free-kick.. bullies players to pass him etc..
I never believed that this was possible.
I think the people involvement was growing as they were winning. Few people believed it was possible to win the Euro... Only if Ronaldo was in god mode would be possible.

Was never fond of Santos but my respect for him improved tenfold last night. I gotta give credit where it's due.
Me also. Never liked his style - always found it overly defensive in Greece.
However, he would get very good results. I mean look at his time with Greece - he had a better win ratio (53% wins) than even Rehhagel (50% wins)!
Many Greeks admired him far more than I did. However - he is a good quality manager. After last night.. I am sure he has the freedom of Portugal. :cool2:

Yes. Very good.
He's not a typical winger, ie, you can't expect him to beat his opponent in a 1v1 situation and speed his way out the wing and cross the ball to the box. Due to his central midfielder past, his passing skills, vision and decision making are his main skillset.
In my humble opinion, with Gaitán leaving to Atlético, he's the second best player in our league.

Yesterday Jorge Jesus said that the best team in Portugal is Sporting because he is the coach.
Today he lost 3-1 against Rio Ave.

Honestly i believe that he will get some good chances of increasing his goal percentage on the next few matches.
On todays match he was one of the best players beside Pizzi and Guedes.
Panaitolikos is extremely happy with its Portuguese players who have contributed to their best ever start. Particularly Tomane and Rodrigues:

Top class player.
Ridiculously used by Jorje in Benfica.

Nop... O think Juventus was a better choice for his Style.

You think he fits the Barcelona style?
Not at all. The typical Barça midfielder is short, quick, good at short dribbles, and can pull out brilliant passes from any distance. Being none of these, André is totally out of his depth there.
He's a got some good attributes - most of them offensive - but his decision making is slow-ish and very far from Barça standard. His main virtues serve Barça nothing. I'm sure he could do well in other clubs though.
They'll probably get rid in the summer or soon after, and imo it would be for the best for both sides.
My feelings are that Barcelona's glory period is coming to an end.
Paco, Gomes, Arda, Digne, Roberto etc are not Barcelona quality and these mistakes were not only expensive - they were fatal. I would not have sold Pedro on his breakthrough season either.
Poor management and Messi is starting to fade - an Iniesta who is older.. no more Xavi etc.. too many losses - and all signings are mostly garbage.
It's more of a lack of manager's problem than a player's problem.

So much for being football gods and producing the best talents, but as you said, the truth is that they've had a golden generation built around Messi, that is starting to weaken, and players of the same calibre are not showing up.
The Spanish national team will (and already is) suffer from this lack of new talent. Catalonia's setup is watering down and Spain need to find a solution.
Spain never exactly had the best individual talents in world football anyway. Most of the biggest stars in their league were foreign, which is one of the reasons for their international irrelevance pre-2008.

I agree. It also seems Marcos Sena helped them go to the next level by stabilising their always weak midfield - although he rarely got the plaudits for helping transform Spain. Once they broke through - they have been strong up until recently. The Catalans are still producing a huge amount of footballers - but as you said - there is simply not that quality anymore - just tonnes of average footballers (Tello, Roberto, Bojan, Munir, Bartra, Montoya..)

Got a question for everyone here. Greece plays Croatia on Thurs to get into the WC.
Manolas picked up a deliberate yellow card vs cyprus in the last minutes as you do when you are on too many cards and want to bring an early ban so you are available for the following big game. He simply time wasted to get the yellow. He missed the final qual as planned and is ready for Croatia.
However last week FIFA banned him from playing in the Croatia game! :crazy2: They said him picking up a yellow card in the last minutes vs Cyprus so he was free for the play offs went against fair play!
Have you ever heard if FIFA doing this before? Seems they want Croatia in the WC badly.

I could not believe it when I read it. How did they determine that he was time wasting on purpose ( in order to clear his yellow cards record)? I'm pretty sure there is nothing in FIFA rules allowing them to do that, even if he was time wasting on purpose ( or something general about sportsmanship). This will definitely be a heavy blow for Greece, but I believe that you can still knock Croatia out if you play your clever ( though not so exciting) game.

Exactly my thoughts too. Never heard of this happening before. I understand FIFA want Croatia in the WC over Greece - more pretty football etc - bigger stars etc but what a strange excuse to help them by banning Manolas? How an earth they decided it was on purpose also? Just completely bizarre. Someone should have told them Greece has 100s of CBs. It is the only position we ever produce any decent players in.
I am predicting a very tense game.

Yes, me too, but I expect Greece to go through. Your play does not suit Croatia. They prefer those less disciplined who will leave them more space. I watched your match against Belgium in Greece, you did great for the biggest part of the match. A bunker in Zagreb and then Mitro-goal. :smokin:

It is more than known that UEFA punishes intentional yellow cards. The first one was in UCL, in 2010, and since then every intentional yellow or red card are investigated.

http://www.abc.es/20101130/deportes-futbol/futbol-mourihno-ramos-sancion-201011301755.html
But this is really over the edge. On top of that, these players only received fines and Manolas is suspended for the match against Croatia. He will not play. In their case, it was obvious that they were intentionally getting these cards. In Manolas case, not really.
How good are the Egyptians in your opinion for anyone who watched them tonight?

What happened today to Sporting...
:rir:
" Olympiacosization" of Sporting-finally :rir: De Carvalho= Marinakis
Almost Marinakis except that the Sporting players banded together and basically told Carvalho to go fuck himself today. ;D ;D
That's only because he is the president, not the owner.

With all due respect, that's setting the bar a bit low, which makes this whole thing a lot more shameful than it already is. It's funny because in the Competições Nacionais thread people are really comparing our country to Greece and Turkey. But you're only a ladder below at this point, tbh. Wait a few more years and you'll see us competing with you in the bad sense. By then, another crisis here will probably have started already.
This will have repercussions. After this incident what decent foreign talent would be crazy/stupid enough to come here? And this is being spread all over the international media as we speak. This is gonna hurt our country's reputation as well.

In all seriousness you don't have to worry, money talks.. I used to worry about Hellas too.. you offer a good amount of money - the talent comes. Amazing what humans will put up with to get paid. Also Portugal needs to have no functioning judicial system to ever get close to Hellas. The fact that there were arrests is a huge difference.
Also Thanks for putting Hellas with Turkey. IMO they are already a level above Hellas - they too arrest hooligans.

Funny you should say that. I remember as a kid there was a crime wave in a fairly good Athens neighbourhood my cousins live in. I remember chatting with my cousin on her balcony with some nice cold Amstels. I said.. 'crime is high eh?' - 'Terrible' - She replied.
I said: 'These fucking Albanians eh?' She replied.. 'Albanians? It is the fucking Greeks we are worried about round here - everyone is putting bars on their windows...'
And that brings me to my point. I don't fear anyone more than Greeks themselves. Greeks themselves have been directly responsible for every piece of shit that happened to us. The phrase 'Divide and Conquer' comes from Greece and it is was used by Philip II to describe how to conquer other Greeks..
One thing Portugal has to make sure is to arrest any fags who do this shit and prosecute them. Problem will go away fast. In Hellas we are like...

Last year in Chaves he barred Bruno de Carvalho from the locker room and attempted to hit him.
That's the pay.
I'm guessing Bas Dost tried to fight the thugs and thus was hit fiercely. He is a very big guy, after all. Bet it took several guys to take him down. Cowards.

Former empire, former coloniser, former trade kings, former everything. We're the country of sunny beaches for super pale northern europeans and the country that makes towels and wine. Fortunately Éder happened a couple of years ago or else our CV in the past 50 years would have been rather empty and no employer would hire us. :smokin:
At least you have recent pride! The last time Greeks were proud was back here:
(http://paradiseintheworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ancient-athens.jpg)
But on a serious note - no one will care internationally. Now if this shit happens every week like in Hellas - then we can talk Festivus. O0
Yeah, we still have a long way to go. Hopefully we won't ever reach that point.
In all seriousness now, this is a sad state of affairs. I guess we should be less scared of possible islamic terrorism here and be mroe worried about our hooligans. That being said, I'm surprised ISIS haven't reclaimed the attack yet ;D
Funny you should say that. I remember as a kid there was a crime wave in a fairly good Athens neighbourhood my cousins live in. I remember chatting with my cousin on her balcony with some nice cold Amstels. I said.. 'crime is high eh?' - 'Terrible' - She replied.
I said: 'These fucking Albanians eh?' She replied.. 'Albanians? It is the fucking Greeks we are worried about round here - everyone is putting bars on their windows...'
And that brings me to my point. I don't fear anyone more than Greeks themselves. Greeks themselves have been directly responsible for every piece of shit that happened to us. The phrase 'Divide and Conquer' comes from Greece and it is was used by Philip II to describe how to conquer other Greeks..
One thing Portugal has to make sure is to arrest any fags who do this shit and prosecute them. Problem will go away fast. In Hellas we are like...

A glorified Rui Vitória. I am more convinced that we won that Euro by luck.
I would say Vieirinha's Greek is fluent. Only a 1% give away very very few times where i can sense a tiny bit of portuguese shortness to a word or two - virtually perfect - and speaks like an actual Greek guy including lazy habits and long expressions - even facial expressions.

We do but it will never happen.
The point that he was trying to make is that if a referee from a different country makes a mistake at least it won't be because he is connected somehow to porto or Benfica. it will be a genuine mistake.
I mean look at Artur Soares dias, how the heck can this guy be called for a porto Benfica when he has his business in porto and there's constant photos of members of porto board or porto fans at his place. I mean there is a line and it has been crossed. There should be something in the legislation about "conflict of interest".
Unfortunately, A bit like in Greece in Portugal anything goes. I have made peace with the fact that Portuguese football will never change. Whoever plays dirtier... wins.

Foreign refs have actually worked well in Greece, only a few have made mistakes.
I feel sorry for Aris - the EPO decided they are not a big enough team to deserve foreign refs.

Not only that, but you should see a match in Madeira (portuguese island) during the winter days, against teams like nacional ou maritimo.
What a joke.
I know, we can't control the weather, but after decades of having the same issues, season after season, you would think that someone in charge would come up with an alternative or an arrangement.
Regarding that quote on Twitter, it is the truth. And it is only getting worse. The atmosphere surrounding portuguese football is horrendous.
It is a matter of time until someone dies...
Germany is very strong, they are fanatical in their determination.

That answer is so Santos ;D It's like him saying the other day "who thinks they can come to Germany and beat them?"
Another statement from Santos to remember:
Citação"Am I too fearful? I won the European and the League of Nations. I lose and win by my thinking. If I assemble the team with the players that people think I should put on and concede four german goals what would they say? I have to die with my ideas, not with others. I'm 66 years old and the critics don't dent me, they never did," he assured.
Before 2016 we played nice and lost. now we play bad but we won. I can point out flaws but it's very difficult for me to rule out Santos.
Another thing Santos would do which is really painful. He would ignore a certain player the media hyped or a player on fire in Europe. After years of ignoring him, questions would be asked. Then, out of kindness or simply to shut up the questions - he would play the hyped player for a token 45 mins. The hyped player would then proceeed to take his chance and score or create the winning goal in those 45 mins. Whether a friendly or qualifier - the previously ignored player would win the game. Santos's response? To never play that player again and drop him from the squad. Happened more than once.

Refreshing at least. Greece is the only country on earth where it is forbidden to criticise the NT coach. If Portugal were Greece, the Greek media would have blamed the defeat on Cristiano throwing his captain's band on the floor after the final whistle.

Scored a great goal today, and a nice assist for the 3-0.
The quality is there, but in terms of football iq he doesn't seems the sharpest tool in the shed, like today, he can score a great goal and then spend the next 30/40 minutes just going from bad decision to bad decision.
