Re: greece
I'm sure the poms will back me on this:
Greece losing to Faroe Is = proper tournament/qualifiers
Greece winning v Oz after an initial loss = friendly
Which has more impact?

So Greece turned it up and served Australia's muscat on a platter.
As for Greece losing to Faroe Islands, we all know this was fixed. The Greek players, who are of superior quality to Australian players, were not playing because they had it in for their previous coach and wanted him sacked. They got their wish.

I don't know what's worse. Trying to claim that a friendly is more important than a league match or claiming your own players are guilty of match fixing and should be banned for life.

But you got your muscat handed to you since the Socceroos played with 100% intencity.
The Greek Team was wanting a leisurely stroll, but when the lost their keeper, they gave the Socceroos a real good dose of reality.

The players were not happy with their coach and did a job on him. This is what happens in Europe - Spain, Italy, France, Greece you name it.

The Greek Federation was paid to come because the FFA wanted to capitalise its return from the Greek Community in Melbourne and Sydney.

The Greek Team bloody did a number on the Socceroos and its good to see the Butthurst!
Especially after all the cockiness and ridicule about the Faroe Islands.
Look, Greece is a cut above the socceroos, and it's about time you guys understood this reality.

You need to pay attention. My team did not get their arses handed to them by the socceroos and even if they were IT WAS A FRIENDLY. How did you go against the faroe islands in a real game?Aikhme wrote: Yes it did.

I agree greece are a lot better than australia, however - they're still cabernet and not at the Euro's.

The Greek Players did a number on the previous coach. All these games, including that against the Faroe Islands were as a result of unhappy players.
You can't convince me that Greece is lesser than Faroe Islands when most of the players are playing for big clubs in Italy, Germany, Spain, EPL and Portugal. The quality of Greek Players to Australian players is superior.
You got your ass handed to you!

How does it feel to be beaten by a side that was beaten by Faroe Islands (presuming of course the Greeks didn't do a job in those games like you believe is not the case)?
