[Get Real!]

Another island beats the 80-million strong Turkey… one inhabited by just 333K people!

No World Cup, no party.

Goodbye Turkey.

Stimenes Malakies!

Subservient, asskissing village idiots.
Why don't they pull down their pants and bend over while they're at it.

No, this has to be said.
If you have absolutely no respect for yourself or your country, and willfully let a foreign team beat you on purpose, then you, as an individual are worth nothing, and deserve what you get.
Cypriots who actually celebrated this loss, are living in their own bubble, and reality will eventually hit them like a hammer.

The show is over.

The fact is that Cyprus even if they won Greece and the next game with Belgium (which was already "indifferent" but they still won Bosnia away) we still had no chance of qualifying. Greece has a chance of qualifying. For real Cypriots the national team of Greece is our second national team, and we want to see Greece in the World Cup. Those that would prefer to see some other team in the World Cup instead of Greece are simply not real Cypriots. The qualification game for Cyprus was lost in the games against Estonia. We could have won both of those games, and if we did we would have a real chance to qualify and then we could have tried harder to beat Greece (but Greece is anyway a better team, so winning them would not be easy regardless)

Sorry Sotos but thats a load of bullshit...You either have self respect or you don't. That Greek team could've been beaten easily, this was a eurovision setup and the Greeks know it. You want to support a team that represents the Ethnos? By all means, but the Greek team ain't the one. They represent the State of Greece politically and geographically and not Hellenism any more than the Cypriot one does. There isn't an ethnic Greek team the same way there isn't an ethnic Irish team that Americans Irish would choose to support over the USA team. The confusion occurs in the Greek translation, NATIONAL teams belong to States while in Greek we call them Ethnikes Omades that pertain to Ethnos.

This match was a shit show and just goes to prove that a Cypriot is capable of picking a fight with his shadow.

It is not about supporting the Greek team over the Cyprus team. It is about preferring to have the Greek team play in the World Cup instead of some other 3rd country. And the great majority of Cypriots do support the Greek team after the Cyprus team... and I am sure you do as well. Just look at how many people flooded the roads of Cyprus when Greece won the Euro. So would you prefer to have Cyprus win or draw a single game, rather than having Greece play in the World Cup? Your point would be valid if by winning we had a chance to qualify instead of Greece. But this was not the case so your point is totally wrong.
