DT. I don't think they Irish will like calling them part of the "British Isles"  So leave them alone, we have nothing against them.
I believe with this Euro qualifiers our ratings have increased from "poor" to "decent" and now any team will have to count us and take very seriously their games against us. I think this is a good achievement for small Cyprus.
It appears that our defense has improved, and with players like Okkas, Aloneftis, Konstantinou and Charalampides we are capable to score against any opponent. |
we're split from excellent player to very good to decent right now.
The excellent group is made up of Aloneftis (can play for any team in the world) Okkas (same here but his style is suited for the cypriot team) and Konstantinou
Very good players i'd put Makrides and Charalambides who need a bit more time in a foreign league to improve more (makrides should be off soon)
Good players are Satsias, Michail, Georghalides, Garpozis, Okkarides, Nicolaou
and I don;t understand why Marios Ilia is in there along with Yiasemakis.
Overall its a great side and they;ve all matured at the same time to bring this team to the fore front. Anastasiades is a fantastic coach and has managed to mould them into a team by not picking the most in-form player of the time but by sticking with these guys and making them into a proper team. He's the first one to instill the spirit of any opponent s beatable in them.
We've got a good future for the naxt campaign at the world cup however we're n trouble after that. 78% of the Cyprus league is made up of foreign players which means the youngsters coming from the academies are not getting first team games. |

| Yiasemakis was a good player 4 years ago. The lad has passed his prime and I am greatful for what he has done for are NT, yet I cant see him playing for us come WC Qualification time. Are NT tends to be very young and will be much stronger come the next qualification tournament. I am sure are foriegn based players will also grow. PS the Title should have been ref saves Ireland blushes and allows the Irish to tie Cyprus. |

Well in 2 years time we'll add George Efrem as well from Rangers and the other teen who's gone to Bayern.
We need to send as many Cypriots out to foreign leagues as possible.
Spot on for the title. |

We certainly do however Morfis and Georgalides are far better than him...don't see him getting a place anytime soon. |
