1-1 FT

[kurupetos]

I want 3 points.
Just get it done.

They got what they deserved...

[Cap]

I see where this is going.
Game over.

It always takes a manga with Cypriot archithkia to get the job done.
We put a Balkan in charge.
The results are typical.

Better luck next year.
Oh, and if you want a lesson in winners mentality, come speak to uncle Cap.
Have a nice day.

Have you been watching the match in the WC? Poor Capster...

[Cap]

Poor asshole wannabes.

I come from a different pedigree.
I don't do mediocre malakies.

It always takes the one to make the difference... Barca, Real, Man U can't rule the world forever.
We have the gene, Donis, the Balkan poofter tainted it.

GAME OVER

[Get Real!]

Disappointing play by APOEL tonight; far too many mistakes throughout the game and the penalty given was debatable.

Manduca, the player of the match despite his ripe old age and little or no support from his team mates.

Ajax, surprisingly a slow side with good passing but not dangerous up front.

Frustrating evening...

[kurupetos]

APOEL's last chance is to win in Amsterdam. I don't think it can get any points from the other matches.

[Paphitis]

Well done Apoel. it's actually a good result for them.

Check it out Paphiti.

CY shoot up 55 places to no 85 just behind OZ.

Fifa Rankings.

It's not an accurate depiction because of the weightings. There are Spanish, English and Italian teams for instance that are ranked lower because they didn't qualify in the Champions League but they are not by any stretch ranked lower in reality.

Barcelona is in a league of its own, so there is no comparison unless Apoel can play with some heart. If they were Australian and Cypriot Players in the side, they might have even won!

Dude, it's our national side. Not clubs.
CY 85
OZ 84.

Regardless.. CY was ranked as high as 42 in 2012.

Australia needs 3 to 4 years before it is at its peak (top 30). Plus they have lost 5 in a row until it beat Saudi Arabia.

Also, once again, it has to do with the weightings.beating Saudi Arabia in a friendly doesn't count for much but beating Bosnia in a Euro Qualifier does.

The real test is if they play each other and I don't think Cyprus stands much of a chance if Australia brings out its players which are mostly Euro professionals.

The other thing is that Australia has a new coach in Ange Postecoglu who is experimenting a lot with very young players. You saw the team at the World Cup. The tournament was used as a training camp in order to rebuild a new team for the next 10 years.

You've lost the plot mate....the reason beating Bosnia in the World Cup qualifiers is worth more than a friendly against the Saudis is because beating Bosnia in a WC qualifier is HARDER than beating the Saudis in a friendly

Why don't you just admit it? If Australia is one rank away from the island of Cyprus (and this is national teams mind you) then Cyprus is either a sporting Giant or Australia is a sporting midget.

You decide.

Ok so Cyprus is not a footballing giant and Australia is not a midget.....hmmm then why are we one place apart on the rankings? Oh! Good point you haven't got any games till the Asia games in December!!

Hang on though? Haven't you just finished that long anticipated World Cup expedition when the big kids let you play with them? Plenty of chances to pick up ranking points from there

Oh

That's right...you got thrashed.

[DT.]

Well done Apoel. it's actually a good result for them.

No one's happy about it here....poor show. We're better than a draw with Ajax at home...
