I remember, when I wrote somewhere that Serbia will play v Greece, that someone said that they will demolish us. I said, "OK, but we are going to play". The thing that I wanted to say then proved to be true on Saturday. Young Serbian players were so excited and highly motivated and honoured to play versus Michael Korkidas, one great professional and player, and other Aussie-born Greeks (and locals, of course). Of course, if John Skandalis played, the difference would be probably higher, but we would still play. And there were 5 players from this year U19 Euro Nations Cup and 4 debutants (in full 13-a-side game) in Serbian team.
Here are some shots.
