In the continuing of this conversation I would like to add what I was told by my Aegean Macedonian grandfather. He said like this:" Never trust a Greek, as soon as they get your trust - expect a knife in your back!."
My grandfather was a son of a Komitadji from Voden (Edessa) Aegean Macedonia which was convicted for 3 times life prison sentence, for killing a Greek family that betrayed the 5th Cheta of Goce Delcev on Gramos mountain, today's Greece near Voden (Edessa).
My point is, Greeks have made their point and marked history as being a back stubbing motherf***r$, not only when we fought together against the Ottomans, but also in the period of the WWI & WWII.
I apologize for the bad word
Со илјадници години немаме намера да се предаваме, ОТИ МАКЕДОНИЈА Е ПОСТАРА И ОД ГОРОЦВЕТОТ И ОД НОЖОТ!!!
Yesterday, the round of 16 of the UEFA champions league concluded with 8 teams being eliminated and 8 advancing. These are the 8 teams remaining in Europes most prestigious club competition-
Arsenal
Chelsea
Manchester United
Liverpool
Porto
Villareal
Barcelona
Byern Munich
The draw for the next round, I believe will be held on Friday
Cmon Arsenal!!
One day our natinal teams will be drawn into the same group for either the Euro or the WC.
SoM, could you just imagine the atmospheres for those games!?
I hope its in our lifetime....
Did anyone in OZ watch Central Coast vs Pohang Steelers on foxtel on Wednesday night?
Striker for Pohang was Macedonian International Stevica Ristic. I sometimes wonder why Ristic doesn't get more of a run in the national team. It seems Katanec prefers Pandev (Lazio), Maznov (Tomsk), Naumoski (Matersburg) and Stojkov (Hungary) ahead of Ristic.
Ristic was born and lived most of his life in Serbia. His father is Serbian but his mother is Macedonian. He played for Sileks Kratovo for 5 or so seasons and I believe is the record holder for most goals in the Macedonian first division. He made the move to Korea a couple of seasons ago. He proudly plays for Macedonia, I've read interviews where he says "Jas sum Makedonec".
Next Tuesday Newcastle Jets plays Ulsan, another Korean side. Ulsan recently signed Slavco Georgievski the Macedonian international from Slavia Sofia so hopefully we'll get to see him as well.
Greece vs Macedonia, March 28/09 in Tripolis, Greece
This is the first round of the UEFA U-21 championship group stage qualifiers
Our nations have been drawn into group 9 along with England, Portugal and Lithuania.
Everyone plays each other twice, home and away
First place automatically qualifies, along with the 4 best second place teams

I dont think the atmoshere will be too crazy/violent in the Greece game,
I think thats why they chose a smaller city for the venue
