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.

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.

He has often spoken that when he is away from Greece he misses it deeply and feels he has to return. Greeks are extremely respectful of Santos. They feel he is Greek. He also speaks Greek.

He said tonight in Greek, ''To all the Greeks, thank you, you are always in my heart.''

If we were champions it was without a doubt of the greek knowledge that he gattered during his time in there.

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.

Once again, congratulations. Super victory. Well done Portugal.  :bandeiraslb2: :bandeiraslb2: :bandeiraslb2: :bandeiraslb2: :bandeiraslb2: :bandeiraslb2:

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.

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.' 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.

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.

yeah I think it might have been beneficial to us in the end. It annoyed me how he insisted on playing before eventually getting subbed. He can be so selfish. You don't waste time early in a final.

You say Greeks are doom merchants? So are we, somewhat.

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..

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:

It seems that your people loves Fernando...  ;D

A lot, the feeling is mutual. Santos/Greece one heart.
Did you heard his statement to you (Greek people) in flash interview?

This one?

https://vine.co/v/5WIXzIegrtT

Every Greek media carried this, it is the headline in every Greek media website. Many Greeks cried when they heard this. Santos is much much loved in Greece. He has often spoken that when he is away from Greece he misses it deeply and feels he has to return. Greeks are extremely respectful of Santos. They feel he is Greek. He also speaks Greek.

He said tonight in Greek, ''To all the Greeks, thank you, you are always in my heart.''

:cry2: :cry2: :cry2: Even makes me emotional to hear these words, he has a very special connection with Greece and Greeks.
Quite Natural
The man passed many years in Greece training two of the biggest greek themes like Panathinaikos and AEK.
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.

Once again, congratulations. Super victory. Well done Portugal.  :bandeiraslb2: :bandeiraslb2: :bandeiraslb2: :bandeiraslb2: :bandeiraslb2: :bandeiraslb2:

Hey Faliro.

Haven't talked to you since our EURO victory.

I still can not believe it but... The circle that opened in 2004 is now closed and we can now be in peace with our national team.

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.

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.

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.

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.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5047531/FIFA-hand-Greece-s-Kostas-Manolas-World-Cup-play-ban.html

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.

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:

You going to watch the game Thursday?

Yes, I will. Good luck!

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.

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.

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.

Looks like they have finally caught the Greek disease..

Any arrests at least? Or like greece? - All the perps are at home playing PS4 relaxing with their families?
21 arrests.

https://youtu.be/6IwjvFqzGu4

A real country. Difference between Greece and Portugal.

Remember the Cup Final PAOK vs AEK last season in Volos? The massive war? A year later - not one prosecution.  :cheerleaders:

..I wouldn't go that far

Compared to Hellas..

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.

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:

Yeah, we still have a long way to go. Hopefully we won't ever reach that point.

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.

Just a head's up. You may see a Portuguese coach take over the Greek NT soon.
Please take Rui Vitória :D

(Miguel Cardoso?)

I assume because it is the EPO picking the manager, it will be the worst Portuguese manager available.
There are several candidates for "worst portuguese manager" way worse than Cardoso :P

It will be one of those most likely..
Let's wait and see :)

The name has come to light. It is Andre Villas Boas.

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.

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.

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.
