greece vs korea

[judicatormd]

hey guys we'll be playing you guys in feb in england!

let the good times roll.

[PAO_HELLAS]

I don't know much about the current team of Korea, but I see a draw as the most possible result of this one.

[Panathinaikos2]

korea should ease this one 2-0.Give it a break.

[poutismalakas]

get a life dude!!


Korea is much better and thats my opinion dont like it then go fishing.
AGAIN PLEASE STOP posting in this forum!

If Greece played against Somoa you would say they are better than Greece! Just do us a favor and DON'T post here anymore!

[plato-ny]

If you dont like it, then go camping...

[Panathinaikos2]

he would of known that before 2004 just like Greece, Portugal was just a mere minor in the footballing world as well.

[poutismalakas]

NO need to provoke the troll guys! We don't want him here right? Just ignore him and Ill edit his post if they are provoking!

NO I just don't like your opinion! Anyone else who doesn't troll the Greek forum can post here! It is a fact that you think that EVERY NT will beat Greece(Maybe your STILL LIVING 2004?)!

Opposing view posts would be fine! If those posts where made by a unbiased poster something that you have a track record for being the opposite of! Why don't you just leave us alone and go cyberperv on the "female" posters in the Away from soccer forum! You seem to be better at that than predicting Greece's matches!

[Fottere]

Il Benfica, lei è un animale. Lei ha la mente di un topo! Lei è inutile per è umano!

[PAO_HELLAS]

Guys you have to be happy when Benfica predicts against Greece, because every time he did that we won. Look what happened in all the qualifier games. He is a jinx, so we have to be happy every time he predicts against us. If he ever predicts for Greece, we'll have to worry.

[benfica64]

Poutis likes the circus.

[plato-ny]

Banfica64's tactics are backfiring on him now. He'll seek attention elsewhere and try to use more tactics to go against Greece and Italy...

[benfica64]

I'll go back to my circus soon..

Like the child that you are!! how childish. yes your fooling everyone that I wrote this (lol)

[Panathinaikos2]

Like the child that you are!! how childish. yes your fooling everyone that I wrote this (lol)Give it a rest circus clown. I doubt what PAO HELLAS did is as childish as the post you wrote here:

Yes they do and I like to spank em!! Cmere Laury u been a badddddddddddd gurl. Time for your spanking!! after Iam dont Port said he wanted to get alittle spanking in himself, not long after KK tells me he wants to give your sweet tush a nice ol fashioned spanking.

Maybe he's right boys, Korea may be a test for us.
Im pretty sure Korea knocked Portugal out of the World Cup in 2002 didnt they??
but then again Portugal are push overs.

[benfica64]

Give it a rest circus clown. I doubt what PAO HELLAS did is as childish as the post you wrote here:

??????????????????????/

[poutismalakas]

So what are the chances Otto will test out some of the younger guys and tactics in this match cause Im sure Korea will do the same!?

[plato-ny]

So what are the chances Otto will test out some of the younger guys and tactics in this match cause Im sure Korea will do the same!?

Here are the players Otto called up:

Γιώργος Σαμαράς, Στέλιος Γιαννακόπουλος, Γιούρκας Σεϊταρίδης, Αγγελος Μπασινάς, Τάκης Φύσσας, Αγγελος Χαριστέας, Σωτήρης Κυργιάκος, Γιάννης Αμανατίδης, Φάνης Γκέκας, Γιώργος Καραγκούνης, Κώστας Κατσουράνης.

Good to see Samaras and Gekas in there. Why are Charisteas and Basinas playing still?

[PAO_HELLAS]

I am wondering the same about Charisteas.... I can't say something about Basinas I haven't seen him playing for a long time.

[Vipaman]

There sure are a lot of good matchups happening on Feb 6th. I hope I get a chance to see as many of them as I can.

Personally I think S.Korea hasn't been playing stellar as of late, Greece can certainly beat them and I hope it's a great game!

[Panathinaikos2]

Here are the players Otto called up:

Γιώργος Σαμαράς, Στέλιος Γιαννακόπουλος, Γιούρκας Σεϊταρίδης, Αγγελος Μπασινάς, Τάκης Φύσσας, Αγγελος Χαριστέας, Σωτήρης Κυργιάκος, Γιάννης Αμανατίδης, Φάνης Γκέκας, Γιώργος Καραγκούνης, Κώστας Κατσουράνης.

Good to see Samaras and Gekas in there. Why are Charisteas and Basinas playing still?I'm sorry but these are only the abroad players that Otto has called. Otto has still yet to call on the domestic players.

[PAO_HELLAS]

The full squad was announced today:

Γιάννης Γκούμας, Κώστας Χαλκιάς, Αντώνης Νικοπολίδης, Λουκάς Βύντρα, Γιώργος Ανατολάκης, Βασίλης Τοροσίδης, Αλέξανδρος Τζιόλης, Παντελής Καφές, Βαγγέλης Μάντζιος, Νίκος Λυμπερόπουλος, Γιώργος Σαμαράς, Στέλιος Γιαννακόπουλος, Γιούρκας Σεϊταρίδης, Αγγελος Μπασινάς, Τάκης Φύσσας, Αγγελος Χαριστέας, Σωτήρης Κυργιάκος, Γιάννης Αμανατίδης, Φάνης Γκέκας, Γιώργος Καραγκούνης, Κώστας Κατσουράνης

[PAO_HELLAS]

1-0 for Korea final score. I was satisfied from our performance regarding the traffic of the ball, but Otto needs to make the system more attacking - the ball was reaching the attack with difficulty. Let's hope that Otto realises this for the game with Turkey, as the result of this one did not matter at all.

Did you saw Gekas' shot when the Korean goalkeeper saved with the head ? :lol:

[poutismalakas]

how many of our young guys did we use? I assume this wasn't the sqaud the Greece has been using in our qualifiers? Also how well did we play? Did the Koreans use any youger players or thier main squad?

[PAO_HELLAS]

No, Rehagel used thereabout the same squad with the qualifiers. The participation of Anatolakis was probably the only change.... Rehagel have have watched the youngsters Balafas and Ninis playing in the Superleague and he said he likes them, but probably he don't considers them ready to play in the national team.

Don't ask me about the Koreans, I don't know any of their players besides Park :D.

[poutismalakas]

well if we used our main squad then should we be worried?

Also isn't the Sorti guy not going to be allowed to play becase He's not Greek?

[Panathinaikos2]

well if we used our main squad then should we be worried?

Also isn't the Sorti guy not going to be allowed to play becase He's not Greek?Ninis is Greek and he just got his Greek passport. No to mention he just denied Albania's offer again!

[Panathinaikos2]

Now as for the game I was really proud of Greece performance. This was probley our best game in such a long time and we could of scored 3 goals but we just couldn't finish. Anyways congratulations to Korea. Although Korea did not have as many chances as us they kept on running all game and they scored so they deserved the win tonight. In my oppinion the best player for Greece tonight was Giannakopoulos and Karagounis.

[poutismalakas]

Ninis is Greek and he just got his Greek passport. No to mention he just denied Albania's offer again!
what going with that incident with that kid getting hit in the head with a bottle and called a Albanian?

[plato-ny]

Congrats to South Korea on the 1-0 win. Greece had chances to score a goal. Gekas had a shot that bounced off the goalie's head and Giannakopoulos had a post. But Greece attacked a little more than expected. South Korea played well with their aggressive style.

What Rehhagel said after the game:

Οτο Ρεχάγκελ: Ετσι θα παίξει και η Τουρκία

Ως γεύση από τι περιμένει τους διεθνείς στον επικείμενο αγώνα της Εθνικής Ομάδας Ανδρών με την αντίστοιχη της Τουρκίας, τον Μάρτιο στην Αθήνα, χαρακτήρισε ο Οτο Ρεχάγκελ το φιλικό παιχνίδι του αντιπροσωπευτικού μας συγκροτήματος με τη Ν.Κορέα στο Λονδίνο. Αναλυτικά οι δηλώσεις του ομοσπονδιακού προπονητή:

«Το παιχνίδι εξελίχθηκε ακριβώς όπως το περίμενα. Με αντιπάλους σκληρούς και δυνατούς που μπήκαν για να το κερδίσουν. Οι Κορεάτες έπαιξαν όπως και θα παίξει η Τουρκία στον αγώνα μας τον άλλο μήνα στην Αθήνα και αυτό με ικανοποίησε γιατί οι παίκτες είδαν και κατάλαβαν τι θα έχουν να αντιμετωπίσουν εκείνη την ημέρα. Δημιουργήσαμε πολλές ευκαιρίες και για άλλη μια φορά δεν μπορέσαμε να τις κάνουμε γκολ. Είδα κάποια πράγματα που δεν μου άρεσαν, θα προσπαθήσουμε να τα διορθώσουμε ενόψει των αγώνων που ακολουθούν, τόσο με την Τουρκία, όσο με τη Μάλτα. Εχω πει και στους παίκτες μου φεύγοντας από εδώ και γυρίζοντας στις ομάδες τους να έχουν στο μυαλό τους αυτούς τους αγώνες. Γίνεται προσπάθεια να είμαστε έτοιμοι γι αυτά τα δύο παιχνίδια και πιστεύω ότι θα τα καταφέρουμε».

Ερωτηθείς για το θέμα της λήξης του πρωταθλήματος της Super League ο κ. Ρεχάγκελ απάντησε πως «οι σύλλογοι μας έχουν πει ότι θα κάνουν μέσα στο Μάιο φιλικά παιχνίδια για να είναι οι ποδοσφαιριστές σε καλή κατάσταση στις αρχές Ιουνίου, αλλά και εμείς θα κάνουμε ό,τι μπορούμε ώστε να είναι έτοιμοι εκείνη την περίοδο, που έχουμε τα επόμενα παιχνίδια για την προκριματική φάση του EURO 2008».

Φιλική νίκη με 3-1 επί του αντίστοιχου συγκροτήματος της Αλβανίας πέτυχε η Εθνική ομάδα των Ελπίδων, σε παιχνίδι που διεξήχθη στο γήπεδο της Νεάπολης.

Η ομάδα του Στέλιου Αποσπόρη ήταν ανώτερη σε όλο το διάστημα του αγώνα και έφτασε άνετα στην επικράτηση.

Το σκορ άνοιξε ο Αραβίδης στο 15ʼ με κοντινή κεφαλιά και επτά λεπτά αργότερα ο Πετρόπουλος με σουτ από το ύψος της μικρής περιοχής διπλασίασε τα τέρματα της Εθνικής.

Οι φιλοξενούμενοι μείωσαν στο 48΄ με αυτογκόλ του Γκαλίτσιου (η μπάλα βρήκε στο κεφάλι του έπειτα από εκτέλεση φάουλ του Λίκα), ενώ το τελικό αποτέλεσμα διαμόρφωσε ο Κοιλιάρας στο 56΄ με όμορφο ψηλοκρεμαστό σουτ.

Αξίζει να σημειωθεί ότι από πλευράς Αλβανών αγωνίστηκε ο 19χρονος Ένκο Μαλίντι, ο οποίος φέρεται να αποτελεί μετεγγραφικό στόχο της ΑΕΚ.

ΕΛΛΑΔΑ: Παναγόπουλος (90΄ Κασμερίδης), Μανιάτης (84΄ Κοτίτσας), Τζαβέλας, Γκαλίτσιος, Σιόντης, Μπαλάφας (75΄ Μουμίν), Παπαστεριανός (46΄ Τσιαμπούρης), Ηλιάδης (65΄ Ρίκα), Πετρόπουλος (88΄ Θανόπουλος), Κοιλιάρας (84΄ (Χατζηλιώντας), Αραβίδης (81΄ Κονέ)

ΑΛΒΑΝΙΑ: Κολίτσι (88΄Μπισάνι), Λίλα, Γκούγκα, Αράπι, Σέφα (88΄ Βίλα), Λίκα, Πιζόνι, Ραμαζάνι (69΄ Ντανάι), Ταφίλι (87΄ Καραμπέτσι), Τσάνι (46΄ Φεράι), Μαλίντι (84΄ Κουσάι)

Ικανοποιημένος ο Αποσπόρης
Ο τεχνικός των Ελπίδων Στέλιος Αποσπόρης παρουσιάστηκε ικανοποιημένος από την απόδοση της ομάδας του μετά το τέλος του αγώνα λέγοντας: "Ημασταν καλύτεροι και θα μπορούσαμε να πετύχουμε περισσότερα τέρματα. Εχουμε βελτιωθεί σημαντικά στον τομέα της ομοιογένειας. Στην ομάδα θα κληθούν και άλλοι ποδοσφαιριστές και πιστεύω ότι θα δημιουργήσουμε ένα καλό σύνολο ενόψει του Ευρωπαϊκού Πρωταθλήματος".

[Panathinaikos2]

and called a Albanian?Well in Greece we always make names of other people and teams. For instance Southern Greeks usually call PAOK Bulgarians and AEK are often called Turks. So this whole "Albanian name calling" is just so that Ninis gets pissed off.

[poutismalakas]

so why was he hit in the head with a bottle? Was there anything said in the Greek news as why people are pissed with him.

[Panathinaikos2]

so why was he hit in the head with a bottle? Was there anything said in the Greek news as why people are pissed with him.Becuase PAOK fans are morons. Ninis did nothing bad at all.

[ARBANITAI]

no the fact is that, both Nini and Kone were attacked racially at their "albanian background" and they throu obejct unto them more over.
and Nini was even hitet with a bottle in the head, and was attacked racially even by the olympiacos coach! these greeks fans were not only against nini but also kone, it was pure racism! and boy we know the reason why :sad: and you proclaimed like you liked him, and a "greek"
i just hope Nini finally will be aware of what he did!

and its not first time the greek fans are behaving like that, when an albanian is on the field!!!

[PAO_HELLAS]

and its not first time the greek fans are behaving like that, when an albanian is on the field!!!

The object dropping is something that happens in all the important games of the Greek Superleague. No matter if Greeks, Albanians, Bulgarians, Romanians, Ivorians, Ethiopians or whatever are on the field.

I remind you that this thread is about the Korea-Greece friendly, if you want to comment on the incident you exaggerated, you already have a thread in your own forum. :yell:

In any soccer country, if the player is not from that country and is playing on the field, then he will get racially slurred from the hooligans. Turkish players and FYROM players get heckled in Greece, as do African, Russian, Spanish, Brazilian and former Yugoslav players. Heck, even Serbs at times get heckled from the Greek hooligans in the Greek league.

Albanians always like to single themselves out as the only ones who get racially slurred. Greeks would get racially slurred if they were playing in Albanian league. Greeks have gotten heckled in other leagues and you dont see us Greeks calling that country's fans rascists. Rascism cant always be an excuse and a copout for everything.

• Stelios bemoans Greek travesty

Stelios Giannakopoulos believes Greece were unlucky to slip to a narrow 1-0 defeat against South Korea at Craven Cottage tonight.

A stunning free-kick from Lee Chun-Soo 12 minutes from time handed the Koreans victory on their first ever appearance on English soil, but the Greeks had more than their fair share of chances in an entertaining encounter on a freezing west London night.

And despite claiming that the result was less important than the performance, Giannakopoulos will feel particularly aggrieved by the outcome after he hit the bar with a header and had a potential equaliser ruled out for offside after coming on as a second-half substitute.

'I think we deserved the victory tonight - we played really well,' the Bolton midfielder told PA Sport.

'Of course the result is not what we wanted, but I think that with performances like that we have nothing to fear.

'Korea were a very good, technical team - strong and fast. They showed good ability on the ball and were good defensively, but I think we deserved at least a draw.'

Greece dominated the match for large spells and enjoyed the upper hand for the better part of 40 first-half minutes as their opponents struggled to get a foothold in the game.

Their performance in that opening spell will come as a timely boost to the Greeks, who face a crucial Euro 2008 qualifier against fellow Group C leaders Turkey next month - with both teams boasting unbeaten campaigns to date.

'Now we look forward to playing Turkey at home,' added Giannakopoulos. 'It's a massive game for us; it's a must-win game for us. I think if we perform like we did tonight, we have nothing to fear.

'Whoever wins the game will take a big step forward towards qualification.

'In general I'm pleased with the whole performance tonight, and of course I'm pleased with myself as well.

'If we play that like against Turkey, they have no chance.'

[Panathinaikos2]

I agree with most of what Stelios Giannakopoulos said. Greece played very attacking and nice football and I was very proud of the Greek NT even though we lost. Greece played an exciting game and never stopped attacking. We were very unclucky not to get at least a goal but I guess that's part of the game. Howevor we do not desearve a win or even a draw. The Koreans earned their victory fair and square since we couldn't finish any of our chances, but I agree with Stelios on that if we play like this against Turkey, Greece will shurley win.

[Hellas40]

I agree also, i watched the highlights and could not believe the chances Greece missed, its unforgivable, and they paid for it with a loss. How did Gekas manage to hit the keepers head??? Honestly that was a joke, Stelios was unlucky hitting the bar, but some chances really annoy me, Charasteas at the end should of put that away.
I dont know what to say, its only a friendly but they have to find the back of the net. S.Korea did and thats all that matters.
Need to score against Turkey, thats the one that matters.

[Stein]

I have a lot of respect for Greece and I think that they played a good game. Because they are a great team that makes more proud of as an Asian that South Korea triumphed.

[judicatormd]

Now as for the game I was really proud of Greece performance. This was probley our best game in such a long time and we could of scored 3 goals but we just couldn't finish. Anyways congratulations to Korea. Although Korea did not have as many chances as us they kept on running all game and they scored so they deserved the win tonight. In my oppinion the best player for Greece tonight was Giannakopoulos and Karagounis.
i thought samaras was bad azz and really good. gg. you guys helped pick our next starting goal keeper. it was i think his first international debut as a starter and definitely proved his worth over the existing gk.

[krazy_arcade]

Korea beat Greece?
WOW unbelievable.
