Well, the shirt print said FYROM, but I changed that to Macedonia, because I though that looked better.

No offence to you but the situation here at balkans is just 'fragile'. You can't call Serbia and Montenegro or Croatia as Yugoslavia. Don't forget that people have been sent to war for some reasons. If FYROM is called as Macedonia is very offensive to some people like me. I live in Macedonia which is the name of the northern Greek land (not the whole northern Greece but part of it). Calling FYROM as Macedonia is like saying Catholics and Protestants is the same thing or Mouslims and Cristians share the same religion beliefs. Germany is Germany and England is England but FYROM is not Macedonia.

You are welcome. I don't blame you. I blame the Greek goverment that never took serious actions about the name of FYROM and permitted them in some way to use the historic name of Macedonia inside the name of the next to us new country. Most of the people are used to call FYROM as Macedonia because is shorter but most of them don't know or don't care about it. FYROM = Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia

The uefa cup is not representative of our football.
Panionios and Aigaleo are small greek teams that luckily made it to be and even more to qualify to the uefa cup the previous year.
And as for Aek Athens, my fav team the 5-1 from Zenit was a shocking result.But i think if you saw the match it was a magical image.We were 0-1 in front and we lost 4-5 one on one situations in the first half.But then at the 45' and 47' minute we had two owngoals and the team collapsed....
You will see in the next matches about Aek.....
And the first is Aek-Lille in 25/11.............

AEK is a terrible team, I've watched a mediocre PSV completely outplaying them last year. Sorry Polakis, but Greek football is terrible, same with the Dutch football.

...yellow smile all over my face seeing that my predictions after the Euro final were not, as some put it, a sign of sore loosing.
Greece crumbled down, showing that unlike other minions that turned out to become respecful national teams with a word to say, their momentum was based on ocasional context and luck rather than the result of positive view on soccer.
Although I'm sorry for some greek friends this is bad for greece but good for soccer. Maybe unlike I predicted some teams will face the World Cup without seeing Greece as an example. Rather see them going ahead "Senegal" style. It's better for soccer and better for my TV time

Not sure if you mean 1966? Totally agree, should never have counted, Germany should've won in the final, although an English ref cheated Brazil back then too. Mind you, I should probably mention I'm Scottish.
Stasman - Jeez, I actually forgot about that, Greece beat them twice, once can be lucky, but twice? Come on..............
