How Fernando Santos never was Olympiakos coach?

Because not even Olympiakos could win the league with someone who couldn't be champion with Jardel in his prime.

I liked his attitude yesterday. SportingxOporto and he went to the stands.
Already practicing for the National Team.

I think the club saw him as too defensive. I remember watching PAOK play under him was like watching paint dry.

Also he is best friends with Karagounis, Katsouranis, Vyntra, Salpigidis, Tziolis etc... all players Olympiakos dislikes.

Any notes?

Any notes?

Clearly better than Paulo Bento. No personal disputes that kept some players out of the team (it's also a bit early for that, obviously), and a renovated starting 11 with some good notes, specially considering it's the first game and against the best France of the last years.

Tonight, Portugal reminded me a lot of Santos Greece: holding 0-0 during almost the entire match and scoring in the last minutes of the game (seconds, actually)

We even played with our white and blue strip   


PS: What the hell is going on, Faliro? Losing 2-0 home against Northern Ireland 

[Faliro]

Oh Greece is poor, seriously poor... 7 injured players, but still, the level is terrible. We could have played 200 more minutes and still not scored. Don't think we will make the main tournament. The lack of talent is so acute - the game is worth watching just for research purposes.. it really is incredible how bad we are. Everyone at the bar I watched it was fascinated also... It is like someone gathered 11 players who play another sport - say roller hockey, and made them play a game of football. It takes Tachtsidis about 3 seconds just to get the ball under control from a two meter pass..

How come Portugal playing in blue and white now? lol 

Seems like he has given you what he gave us. Defensive games.

The old Portuguese flag was white and blue

To keep our monarchists happy, I suppose.

To respect our History, I suppose.

I see.. blue and white are beautiful colours.. maybe also for a change of luck? 

BTW, the Greek flag also used to have a crown but when the royal family were removed, the crown from the flag went with them!

[MiguelPalma92]

If its a change of luck I would say it's going pretty bad

How come if we won? An in Greek style, with Greek colors. Now we just need to win an European Championship against Greece in Athens.
