Olympiakos were at their best and Gala were at their worst, so fair result. Good performance from Greek side so I can't argue with that. Our guys should have done better though, their 1-0 win a fortnight ago was a very tight one so they should have known better. Olympiakos are a good side.
Relax, relax guys... I was only wondering why there is no moaning, and no cursing... Are you happy with GS performance?
Actually Olympiakos looked good in Europe after a Loooooong time ! After many years and many manager experiments former USSR and Ukraine international, Oleg Protasov seems to be doing a better job. I think that the refereeing was incredibly poor in the match with GS! Hasan Sas was twice onside only to be stoped and Mandragons little show went unpunished despite him trying to headbut Djordjevic! Finally, I was amazed with the speed of De Boer! Was he always that slow! Good result for Olympiakos and overall a fair result of the two ties IMO. Whats next for the 2004-2005 guys? Maybe Besiktas vs. AEK ?!?!?

Well, we are not really dissapointed. Because we all know that galatasaray cant do better than this. They would be very lucky if they compete in the champions league again in five years. If they somehow qualify for the UEFA cup this season which seems impossible at the moment to pass Olympiakos in the standings, that is something. And here in Turkey (and now you) all say De Boer is so slow, he cant defend anyone... But Galatasaray won the UEFA cup with Popescu playing in the back two. He was not faster than De Boer but he had 3 great midfielders in front of him( Emre, Suat and Okan) which the attackers faced before attacking him. But now a player comes to our defensive line without being disturbed. Well, any fast pro player can pass someone if he catches the he player on his feet. I am not saying that De boer had a great game in Greece but he is not the only one to blame.
I think that's good, whatever the result on the scoreboard. We should have broken that ice ages ago. Greek soccer was not that bad after all, eh?
