Wouldn't say so...We showed some character there after equalizin with a player less.In general it was a nice match.We were so dumb we didn't make the 1-2 with the penalty won.Referee's decisions were awful and that's a fact.
Awful play by our LB Cholevas.
Game changed a lot with Salpingidis efforts and his goal,Papadopoulos was a shame he didn't start him,thank god he went in later.Katsouranis was bad in the midfield in the first half.Karagounis played well and clever stopped the rythm with fouls won at the midfield but in general his penalty loss was a fatality to our dreams of gettin somethin more from this game.Samaras was good and quite decently he kept some balls at the left and tried a lot.Ninis didn't impress me but he hadn't any help and our game was quite awful at first half with long balls so i won't flame him.In general i'm just happy we got a good result.Very decent.
Russians tactics was spot on and they are such a good team to watch. The keep the ball on the ground and play through ball very often. Their fullback are such an integral part of their attacking play, without them it's hard to counter attack the way they does.
