100% football talk here. And I'm not talking about "American" football......this is the "real" thing.....
That means that I don't want to see any 49'ers, Chiefs, Packers, Ravens etc in here........


Here we can discuss everything that has to do with football.....
Great matches of the past, different teams and players.....and so on.....

Start off by posting a short football bio of yourself.

Fallout, Galatasaray winning the UEFA Cup sure shows that Turkish football is to be reckoned with......
Did you see the European Super Cup Final between Galatasaray and Real Madrid......great game....especially liked the way that George Hagi made a fool out of Roberto Carlos.....

Mr Sleep, seeing the favourite players you have one could think that Barcelona would be one of your favourite teams....or at least used to be.....

What can i say about Hagi. He is a unusual player with that age. But todays he lost his balance. Example Couch Lecescu changes another player but he leave the feild.

I liked it when Barcelona actually had some Spanish players (i never supported them, just admiring from afar) Van Gaal came in and brought a bunch of Dutch players in, Ivan De La Pena made Ronaldo the player he was with his crisp perfect passing and Van Gaal booted him from the side, right about then i lost interest in Barcelona.

D@mn, i guess no XFL either. they're trying to get the football(soccer) thing going over here for the past couple of years. i dont watch too much of it myself. hell i barely watch any sports anymore(except racing).

Destroyer of transmissions!

George Hagi was something extra......although his career on the International scene could have ended in a better way.....with the red card for "diving" against Italy in Euro 2000 and all.....that was sad......
I guess some players never learn....

Leedog....football has increased in popularity in the States......I guess the World Cup '94 contributed a lot to that.....
The league has a pretty high standard...(all the old European stars looking for some more cash before they end their careers)......
I don't know that much about football in U.S.A but I know there are a lot of good players playing there....Marco Etcheverry....Cobi Jones.....etc

Mr Sleep I know what you mean....it's like a Dutch colony...Barcelona. I think they had about 8-9 players from Holland at the same time......

Here I go...


2 Favourite players:
Grigoris Georgatos, Nikos Machlas (I know him pretty good personally, we grew up in the same town in Heraklion Crete)

2 Favourite teams:
Olympiakos, Olympiakos, Olympiakos... oh, and Manchester Utd and Roma

2 Favourite football moments:

1) Olympiakos winning his 5th title in the row this summer (season 2000-2001 ) there is no match to us

2) Olympiakos winning 4th title in the row (that was last summer

Well being a dane, I must say that favorite player, dosen't play any more
Michael Laudrup.

Saying this, there are so many players that needs to be mentioned if I am to name if I should list them.

Favorite team - well, somehow, I've always like Wolverhampton, but I guess that it's because I won money on them

But I don't actually think I have any favorite teams that I support. It's more wich teams are playing eachother - and then picking my favorite from that

I still say the 49ers will make a comeback..

Hockey in Greece? LOL
Yeah, we could invent the brand-new "water hockey"... there ain't no bleeding ice here

And... Selma who?

Are you genuinely a friend of Nicolas Mahlas or are you insulting our intelligence, he is a truly brilliant striker.

Not truly a "friend" we just had a couple of drinks together and had coffe some times too. Plus we used to go to the same club too (it is called Levare, in Iraklion). He grew up in Allikarnassos, which is a neighborhood in Iraklion Crete. He played footbal for the local team (OFI) all from the junior team to the 1st team. He is a ok guy too.
