Greece captain is missing the quarter final because of an unjust 3rd yellow card.  He's their key man.

As you can see... he wasn't happy.

Greece vs Russia 1-0 *KARAGOUNIS' FACE AFTER BEING BOOKED* (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xM6jNRnkFlY#)

first part of the reaction in this vid. I love how he does the sign of the cross repeatedly :grin:

Off-topic: Do you think he deserved the penalty? I think there was maybe enough contact to trip him a little, but he also dived a bit.

Greece don't have a chance without Karagounis. Germany wins 2-0.

I do not think he should've given the penalty, but neither a yellow card!

Germany will have their work cut out for them.  Greece will defend with all 11 and will do its best to score of a set piece.  Won't be easy.

I feel terrible for the captain's suspension.  He was tripped.  He didn't dive.  His foot got stuck.  I can feel his pain... missing a game for no reason.  Maybe it wasn't a penalty, but it sure as hell wasn't a yellow worthy dive.

FIFA should grow a pair of balls and cancel the yellow.  It's the only fair thing. :rolleyes:

"If 300 Spartans could hold off 10,000 Persians at Thermopylae, than 11 Greeks will certainly have a chance against 11 Germans." Diego Maradona


I just thought this quote was awesome. I really don't care who wins the match, and we all know how it will most likely be carried out.

Schurle, Klose and Reus in for Gomez, Podolski and Muller! So many changes. FML! I picked Gomez in my fantasy team for the quarterfinals :bawling:

Well at least i picked Lahm as a defender to get some points for that goal :13:

Germany are outclassing Greece so much right now, as expected.

That's a quality quote by Maradona.

Greece stood no chance though. Yeah, they tied it up but Germany had tons of possession and chances.

Reus, Ozil, Lahm looked good. Schweinsteiger had a game to forget. I think he had the most pass completions for Greece.  :grin:

Anyways, got to rest Gomez and Muller, and Badstuber didn't get his 3rd yellow so all is good.

I'd like to see Reus start over Podolski next game. Bring Muller and Gomez back. Schurrle as super sub.

Germany has top, top talent. Twice the talent of overhyped English players.

I 100% agree. Steven Gerrard is the only player on England I consider top class. The rest of them are overrated workmen type players.

Exactly. I always refer to their players as good role players, but the majority of the world doesn't see it that way because their big names mask their true ability. Foreigners on English club teams make their clubs successful. Foreign talen is the difference in England, not the actual English players. You just have to look at the national team's record to see the proof.

Worst part about being in USA and being a football fan. Everyone thinks the English are the best at football and ManU is the best team in the world.

And you think Gomez is a top player..

Gomez is not world-class... that's for sure, but he is a good player.  It depends what you mean by top player.  If you think "world-class" then no, but top player as in international class and amongst top 5-10 strikers, then yes.

He has some glaring flaws, but you can't look past his 40 goals per season.  Not many strikers will give you that nowadays.
