Calling all CA Greeks

[rebelknight]

In my time in the asylum I've noticed quite a few people here with Greek sounding names. I am half Greek. Last name is Mihalitsas, my family own diners and all that other good Greek stuff. I wanted to find all the asylum Greeks and get them together on one thread. Maybe one day we could even get together at a herf and meet each other.

Where is Christos? I think he fits the bill. :hm

[LostAbbott]

;s Didn't mean to disappoint you. It probably exists somewhere on this sight. haha

At the moment no on the curly hair because it is short but when it gets long it is very curly and Greek looking. I'm not quite sure what a speed skater looks like but I'm going to say yes anyway:sh

It's all Greek to me!

Μηνιν αϜειδε Θεά Πηληϊαδεω Αχιλῆος
ουλομενην ἥ μῡρί' Αχαιoῖς αλγε' εθηκε
πολλὰς δ' ιφθῑμους ψῡχὰς ΑϜιδι προϊαψεν
ἡρωων αυτοὺς δε Ϝελωρια τευχε κυνεσσιν
οιωνοῖσι τε πᾶσι · Διὸς δ' ετελειετο βουλή ·
εξ οὑ δη τα πρωτα διαστητην ερισαητε
Ατρεϊδης τε Ϝαναξ ανδρῶν και δῑος Αχιλλεύς .

Still pretty greek to me after translating it?

My Greek isn't that good Hugh but I will work on translating this on a day when I don't have two midterms.

[Taki]

Nice to meet you too Rebelknight....Always nice to meet a fellow Greek!!

[VirtualSmitty]

I missread the title and thought this was going to be a computer help thread.

[GreekGodX]

Checking in!! I definitely thought this was going to be a frat thread too. Definitely excited to see some other Greeks on here :D Where have you all been hiding??

Great idea for the thread :tu I'm a bit busy these days so it took me a moment to see this. Nice to 'meet' you too.

Thanks. I definitely understand about being busy too. I just finished my first round of midterms and I still have a ton of work to do. CA is my biggest time waster(reason to procrastinate) though.

[Taki]

Hey Christo....I love the Olympiakos avatar (assuming that is where you got that from), I have followed them for years now with my father, we are both huge fans.:D

Spent two weeks in Central/Northern Greece in July. Mostly in Larissa visiting my brother on a NATO assignment. Spent a few days up around Thessaloniki.

Highlights were:
Delphi
Tomb of Phillip II (father of Alexander)
Thormopylae and the statue of Leonidas
Thessaloniki
Every meal I had!

mmm food in Thessaloniki is amazing.

It's sad to say but I have never been to Greece. If everything works out I should be going with the family this summer.

Sorry Brother...that is unfortunate. When I was younger I used to go to Greece every other year but havn't been back for a few years now, but planing a trip next fall for me and my wife (shes never been)...can't wait!:)

[rebelknight]

Greece draw Poland, Russia and the Czech Republic in their group for the 2012 UEFA Euro cup. I'd be disappointed if they don't get out of this pool. Hears to hoping it's a repeat of 2004. I still remember watching the second game against Portugal.

I still have all the games tapped....what a great year!!!
We should definitely get out of the group stage...if not you are so right, it would be very disappointing

[GreekGodX]

I was in Greece when they won the Euro cup. It is something I will never forget :)

I don't know about an easy draw though.. Russia and Poland are good. Russia is a bit older but they can score. Poland is the host country and that is always dangerous.

This is true but if they can't get out of this group I don't see them surviving in any of the other groups either. Things could turn out very different but looking at it right now it looks like the group with the least amount of "serious" competition. Poland doesn't worry me so much. Hosting is a great honor but they didn't have to go through qualifying and may not be up to the test. Austria and Switzerland combined for 4 points and failed to get out of the group stage in 2008 and well we know what happened to Portugal in 2004 ;)

[GreekGodX]

I bet Portugal is wishing they were in our group. Their group is insane!

[Taki]

Any Greek out there taking off / or has off Friday to watch the Game???? Cant wait to the start of the tournament!!

[68TriShield]

Sounds racist to me :hm

[rebelknight]

Im in a golf tournament friday but i'll have the game on on my phone. I know that's against golf etiquette but some things are just too important to play by the rules

Love the attitude brother!! I will be watching it on a tv at work! My wife yelled at me for using my vacation days...apparently I need to save them for when we have our baby in Nov.

[GreekGodX]

This isn't where you parked your car, Dave :r

I will be watching the game online while I'm in class then go somewhere to watch the rest. EuroCup 2012! :wo

I know how to swear in greek...does that count? :D

You are in Bao! We will just say you are from a village up in the mountains :)

I lived in Athens for two years- does that count? είναι ελληνικά για μένα!

[Taki]

Go Greece!!!!!

[Blak Smyth]

My neighbor is Greek, does that count?

[Taki]

Garbage....refs were terrible in this game!!
Should have got the win!! But happy the tie was there

[Taki]

Samaras sucks by the way...he never wants to get back on D and his touch is horrendous!!!!

[rebelknight]

I'll take the point especially after going down a man and a goal but really wish we had scored on the penalty

[GreekGodX]

Samaras sucks by the way...he never wants to get back on D and his touch is horrendous!!!!

I totally disagree Taki. He is one of our best offensive players and has great touch but some times hangs onto the ball too long. He will be a big reason we advance if that happens. His defense is not going to make or break Greece.

Really?? He hasn't contributed really anything in the past and has only scored 4 goals this year for Celtic (not an offensive threat at all. I think we need to start playing our youngsters a little more??

[GreekGodX]

He has to get going. His talent is there, he just needs to taste the back of the net or set up others and he will be fine. He did have some bad plays but he's better than that. Salpingidis should have started.

Couldn't agree more with Salpingidis starting!!! He is such a tenacious player...I love the way he gets after the ball and he's got some speed to him which helps down the right flanks. Well it should be a great tourney!

[rebelknight]

Very disappointed with yesterdays game. They can't just show up in the second half against Russia if they have any chance of advancing. Only part of the first half i enjoyed was the battle between karagounis and rosicky in the midfield. Those two were really going at it. Samaras play in the second half was more than i expected also.

[GreekGodX]

I only saw the second half of the game. Apparently I missed all the excitement. Need a win against Russia. Unfortunately we only can score 1 goal a game so the defense better be on top of their game.

[rebelknight]

They definitely did exactly what they needed to do yesterday. And in typical greek form 1-0. They looked very good though and actually played a complete game. My only problem was the officiating. That yellow for karagounis keeps him out of the quarters. I'm pullong for Denmark today. If they win the group i believe we'd play them.

[GreekGodX]

The Karagounis yellow is going to hurt and that really makes me think we don't have a chance in the next round. But Greece likes to grind it out so we will see!

Don't worry, there's more where that came from.:tu

Exactly what I was thinking

[Taki]

Thought Greece was going to pull it out yesterday...for those who dont know what I am talking about, the Under 19 Euro Championship. It was a good game and I am excited for those youngsters to get a chance to play for the National team :tu

Anyone else watch the game???
