Faroe Islands defeat leaves Greece manager Claudio Ranieri on brink of being dismissed
Greek National Team: Claudio Ranieri Begone
After the horrific loss against the Faroe Islands in Athens, the president of the football federation of Greece (EPO), Giorgos Sarris, has decided to give Claudio Ranieri the sack and send him back to Italy. It’s only been ten years since the Greeks stunned the world by becoming the Euro 2004 champions and less than 6 months ago since reaching the final 16 of the World Cup. Despite the financial crisis and the general misery depicting the country, football (and basketball) had a way of standing out. Great runs in major tournaments (Euro 2004, 08, 12, World Cup 2010, 14) kept the Greek pride high up and brought joy when needed the most. All that has gone to waste after just four games for the Euro 2016 qualifiers. Claudio Ranieri and his team of coaches decided to reshape the roster to such an extent by inviting 38 players in just 4 games in an attempt to please the vain presidents and their clubs who, according to sources, were the ones deciding who will make it on the 23-man squad of each game; a number that neither Otto Rehangel nor Fernando Santos had reached in their years of serving the national team. This ruined the well-shaped chemistry the players had built all this years and in addition to that, the two cornerstones of the Greek national team the last ten years, Kostas Katsouranis and Giorgos Karagounis are no longer part of it which made it harder for someone to step up and take responsibility. It’s also worth mentioning that the players themselves looked unwilling to put their hearts and souls in these recent games as if representing the nation was a drag rather than an honor. Giorgos Sarris came to an agreement with Claudio Ranieri that the next friendly game against Serbia on Wednesday will be his last one coaching. The coach’s remunaration is still of question, as the Italian is known to getting fired and then receiving millions of Euros in compensation (12mil Euros in the last 12 years). However, in an interview that Sarris gave earlier on NERIT he reassured the amount will be within the EPO’s budget after coming to an agreement with the coach.

Audit Court Approves Budget for Excavations at Thessaloniki Metro
An Audit Court approved earlier today the disbursement of 25 million euros for archaeological excavations at the Metro construction site in Thessaloniki, Greece. This decision essentially unblocks the way for the completion of the biggest transport project in the city’s history. The construction of the 9.6-kilometer long, much-awaited Thessaloniki Metro started in June 2006 and should be completed by 2018. The project has been substantially delayed by significant archaeological discoveries during its construction. According to Attiko Metro, the company in charge of the construction, revealed that when it receives this amount, will proceed to the signing of a supplementary agreement with the consortium in order to allow the continuation of the suspended excavations along the city’s worksites. As the Athens-Macedonian News Agency reported, the disbursement of the 25 million euros has initially been approved last September by the Unified Public Procurement Authority. Following the positive opinion of the Audit Court, the last requirement is a typical ratification by the Greek Parliament. The total budget for the project is approximately 1.1 billion euros. Part of the budget (250 million euros) is funded from the 3rd Common Strategic Framework and a loan for 250 million euros has been arranged with the European Investment Bank. When completed, the Thessaloniki Metro will consist of initially 18 and later 35 stations.

England come from behind, San Marino claim famous draw
Paris (AFP) - England fought back from behind to beat Slovenia 3-1 in Euro 2016 qualifying on Saturday as some of the continent's minnows again enjoyed outstanding results.A turgid Group E encounter at Wembley came to life just before the hour mark when Jordan Henderson headed into his own net to give Slovenia the lead.However, England were back on level terms moments later thanks to Wayne Rooney, who won and then converted a penalty to mark the occasion of his 100th international appearance with his 44th goal for his country.Danny Welbeck of Arsenal then netted a brace to seal the victory as England made it four wins from four games in Group E to remain firmly on track for a place at the finals in France.Meanwhile, after the Faroe Islands recorded a stunning 1-0 win in Greece on Friday, prompting the demise of Claudio Ranieri as coach of the 2004 European champions, San Marino and Liechtenstein claimed famous results of their own.San Marino, ranked 208th and joint-last in the world by FIFA alongside Bhutan, ended a run of 61 consecutive defeats by holding Estonia to a 0-0 draw at home in Group E.Liechtenstein fared even better, a second-half goal by captain Franz Burgmeier securing a 1-0 victory in Moldova in Group G.The tiny principality with a population of under 40,000 had not won a competitive match since June 2011 and had not won on their travels in a qualifying fixture in over a decade.In contrast, Europe's largest nation Russia went down to a 1-0 defeat in Austria in the same group to increase the pressure on coach Fabio Capello.The only goal of the game in Vienna was scored by 1860 Munich's Pakistan-born striker Rubin Okotie in the 73rd minute, moments after officials had deemed that another effort by the same player had not crossed the line.The result comes a month after Russia were held at home by Moldova and days after the country's football union said they could no longer afford to pay Capello's huge salary, believed to be around seven million euros ($8.8m, 5.6m pounds) per year.Elsewhere, Ukraine claimed their third consecutive win in Group C as Andriy Yarmolenko of Dynamo Kiev scored a second-half hat-trick to secure a 3-0 victory in Luxembourg.Later in the same group, reigning European champions Spain entertain Belarus while Slovakia face Macedonia away.Switzerland are at home to Lithuania in England's Group E and Sweden, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the starting line-up, take on Montenegro in Group G.Join the conversation about this story »

New Low-Cost Airline to Launch Flights From Athens
Spanish low-cost airline Volotea announced its plans to operate from Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport. Starting from April 2015, the low-cost company, which since 2012 is offering more than 60,000 seats for destinations across Europe and North Africa, will connect the Greek capital with one internal and five international destinations. The airline will launch flights to the island of Santorini in Cyclades and to the Italian cities of Palermo, Pisa, Bari and Venice. According to Volotea’s official announcement, this development “demonstrates the company’s strong strategic interest in the Greek market, in which it has a continuous presence since 2012, having already carried more than 190,000 passengers. Volotea continues its growth in Greece and begins flights from Athens.” The low-cost company already operates from abroad to other popular Greek destinations, such as the islands of Corfu, Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes, Samos, Skiathos and Zakynthos, as well as the country’s second largest city, Thessaloniki, in Macedonia. 2015 will be the third consecutive year that Volotea operates in Greece, but the first linking the country’s capital with abroad. Volotea currently interlinks 63 destinations, while its fleet consists exclusively of 125-seater Boeing 717 aircraft.

Thessaloniki Mayor Boutaris Photographed Naked in Support of Gay Pride
Statements that will be discussed made once again Thessaloniki Mayor Giannis Boutaris, who was photographed naked for a city’s magazine in support of the Gay Pride Parade. Talking to “Adore” magazine, Boutaris pointed out Thessaloniki’s prospects to become an open city, while underlined that it would be of great benefit for the city to host 50,000 gays in the next Gay Pride Parade. “I am not saying that 600,000 people should come to our town. Even 50,000 would be good, because that is the proportion for a city like Thessaloniki. If we manage to attract 50.000 gays from across the Balkans, Middle East or anywhere else, this would be something big for the city,” the groundbreaking Mayor said, adding that “now we do not have more than 2,000 to 3,000 people coming over. If they increase to 50,000, it will be a major success.” In the same interview, Boutaris estimated that Thessaloniki will never be an extremely open city, at least not in the foreseeable future, while he also commented on the Greek Church’s position regarding the halving issue of cremation, which is not allowed in Greece so far. In addition, he explained his intention to install information and road signs written in Jewish and Turkish language, while he commented on his fellow citizens’ conservatism and the city’s Christmas decoration during the previous mayor’s, Vasilis Papageorgopoulos, turn.

The ‘Resident’ of the Amphipolis Tomb
A man of medium height, white skin, and brown or red hair: This is how the infamous and long awaited “resident” of the Amphipolis Tomb looked like, according to the scientists’ estimations, based on the facts regarding the Greeks of his time (4th century BC). As expected, a further and detailed analysis of the skeleton found under the ground surface of the third chamber, 1.6 meters deeper, will give further answers regarding his identity, although what the specialists assume, based on his features, is that the man originated from Thrace region, in northeastern Greece. “According to archaeologists’ scenarios regarding the period and the area in which the man, whose skeleton was found in Amphipolis Burial Monument, lived, these would be his basic features,” said to Greek newspaper “Ta Nea,” Professor of the Dentistry School of the University of Athens Manolis Papagrigorakis. In the same report, paleoanthropologist of the Tubingen University in Germany Katerina Charvati underlined that “by the examination of his bones and depending on the skeleton’s state, one can define various elements over his health, while he was alive, as well as his diet.” Archaeologist Katerina Peristeri, head of the Amphipolis Tomb excavation, estimates that the dead man was a dignitary general. What would archaeologists discover if grave robbers have not entered his tomb first? “Thanks to the elements we got from other Macedonian graves, in which there was no human intervention after the burial, we can assume that we would have found armaments (shield, sword, chest armor, helmet, shin guards and other items), ceremonial containers made of gold or copper, chaplet and probably earthenware pottery,” explained professor of Classical Archaeology of the Aristotelian University of Thessaloniki Chrysoula Paliadeli.

SYRIZA Leader Tsipras: Austerity Will End with Political Change in 2015
During his visit in Spain yesterday, Greek main opposition SYRIZA leader Alexis Tsipras answered to Prime Minister Antonis Samaras’ proclamation that Greece is returning to growth. The country “will very soon experience a political change and austerity in Europe will end in 2015 starting with Greece, with a leftist, radical and progressive government, that of SYRIZA,” Tsipras underlined, on the sidelines of a meeting with the head of United Left (IU), Cayo Lara, and Spanish Communist Party Secretary General Jose Luis Centella. “Greece is ruled by two parties that are not tolerated by the Greek people, and which are minority parties, yet they want to continue to implement memorandum policies,” the Greek opposition leader highlighted, adding that the Samaras administration is incapable of negotiating with the country’s lenders. “Because we know the issue of the debt is a European issue and relates to all European people, we are creating alliances with political and social forces throughout Europe, especially regionally and in the south, in order to demand a just and viable solution through a definitive debt haircut and, of course, through the claim on European development funds so that Europe may see a return of social cohesion and balanced growth,” Tsipras added, concluding that SYRIZA’s intention is to change the European Union’s austerity strategy, which is a dead-end, and divides and alienates European people, while his party wants to reunite Europe. Yesterday, Samaras, during his official statement over the GDP growth rate, indirectly attacked SYRIZA. All those “who doubted a recovery, are triumphantly proved wrong,” the Greek Premier said.

An Uprising Remembered: CIA Daughter on Anti-junta Polytechnic Anniversary
On the occasion of the Athens Polytechnic Uprising against the Greek Junta, Leslie Absher, the daughter of a CIA operative stationed in Greece during the military dictatorship, remembers the events that brought down the regime forty one years ago Monday. Leslie arrived in Athens as a baby before the coup, brought there by her father, a young spy on his first mission. “There is much I’ll never know about his work in Greece but my love for him and Greece calls me to never forget this historic day,” she wrote to Greek Reporter describing her complicated relationship with Greece and her CIA dad. *By Leslie Absher Forty one years ago today the Greek military bulldozed the main university gate in Athens, killing students and signaling the end of the seven year dictatorship. The students’ decision to barricade themselves inside the university, even when the tanks showed up was a brave one, and led to the dismantling of the junta. We don’t mark this day in the U.S., even though our country played a role in supporting that dictatorship and most Americans don’t even know this happened. And it’s true that even in Greece, where this day and its significance is well known, the acts of remembrance — leaving carnations at the university — is slowing down, and has been for years. Every November a Greek American friend who’s lived in Athens for decades, goes to the site and leaves a flower. Then she posts on Facebook about the low turnout. When I saw the bulldozed gate a few years ago, I didn’t recognize it at first. I had gone to the university to honor the uprising when I noticed a heap of metal resting askew on the ground. I thought it was a pile of debris. It took a second for it to hit me: I was staring at the original gate. I was there because I was an American, a citizen of the country that had been complicit in tolerating the dictatorship. I was also there because my father had been a part of the U.S. presence in Greece back then, a spy on his first field assignment. I was two when the dictators took over. Four years later, my father’s tour ended and we left. At that point, I was supposed to resume my American childhood. But that’s not what happened. On some level, I stayed Greek, not Greek Greek, but quasi Greek. The country and its culture never fully left me. I’ve talked to other kids of spies and it’s the same for them. We grow up in other countries, our parent gets reassigned and even though we leave, the culture we left behind stays buried in our bones. I spent five years living in Athens, spoke Greek, and have vivid memories of going to the laiki, the market, or the beach at Glyfada. But what’s stayed with me most is a feeling, the recognition of a culture I had once known, and had grown to love. I’ve since been back to Greece many times, strengthening my feelings of connection. When I try and pinpoint exactly what it is about Greek culture that makes me feel so connected, I come up with generalities – a self deprecating wit, a penchant for emotional intensity. But the country and people are far more complex than this and I can never really answer this question. I just know that every time I go to Greece or hear or speak Greek, a part of me feels home. This home feeling is why I’ve spent a good part of my life writing about my connection to Greece, and what it’s like having a CIA dad who was stationed there during the dictatorship. Ours is a complicated relationship. For decades, I struggled with our differences – I was the liberal gay daughter and he was the conservative spy. And I carried shame for years, my whole life it seems, about whatever he did or didn’t know about the coup and dictatorship. I love my father and although we had numerous conversations about the junta, I’ll never fully know what his work there entailed. He was no proponent of dictatorships, yet for me, he was still part of a U.S. government that tolerated the dictators, which is why, on this day every year, I make it a point to simply stop and remember. *Leslie Absher is a writer and essayist based in Oakland, CA.
