Jason Demetriou playing for Cyprus - report!

[Nick Prawnby]

Prawnzone sent Prawn Connery to the GSP Stadium in Cyprus and he sends his report!
Prawnzone sponsor Jason AWAY - that must include Cyprus??

Cyprus 0 Belgium 3
I thoroughly enjoyed an excellent game, Demi played really well, he is a great signing and considering Belgium were all top flight players, the Cypriots played well as a team. Cyprus had some really good players - I'd like to see a few of them in a Blues shirt!
The goalkeeper save a penalty in the last minute at 3-0 down which showed great spirit.
Jason had a fab game and I think he's our best signing so far this season. He flew up the wing and put in some great crosses, and played the full 90 minutes.
Well done Jason!

He is perfect for our new 3-5-2/5-3-2 formation.

How does Cyprus have a team when the island is split down the middle into two?

Anyway, pleased to hear Demmy had a good game. :thumbsup:

The North side would play for Turkey, the Greek side is indipendant.

The North side would play for Turkey, the Greek side is independent.

I didn't know that. Thanks.

I didn't know that. Thanks.

well the big problem is TRNC (Turkish Republic of Nothern Cyprus) is not recognised by FIFA....so any decent played would have to take the Turkey/Turkish route... This is a really interesting read if you have time. http://www.playthegame.org/news/news-articles/2007/outcasts!-the-lands-that-fifa-forgot/

At least he didn't get injured

I had half an eye on the game last night, thought he was one of the better players for Cyprus and put in a good performance. The scoreline flattered Belgium significantly. He has a great engine and would be excellent in a 352 formation.

Many thanks for this.

What position did he play?

Shame Birtles was the co-comm. He just always sounds so ****ed off with everything, as if Belgium deliberately played poorly in the Euros just to annoy him.

But Demetriou looked tidy - never imagined, when I bought my son a Cyprus kit on holiday, that it would ever have any SUFC relevance!

*Pedant corner alert*

Cyprus is not 'split down the middle'. It is split across from east to west.
I thank you:smile:

Good job this thread wasn't closed earlier, we would have all missed this post GYS.

John White played very well on Saturday and deserves to keep his place.

Errhhhh - excuse me! Double pedant warning .............. split down the middle doesn't have to mean "north south" ......... it can equally mean "east west" or any other two opposite points on the compass ........... as long as the line goes through the middle ............. I think. :unsure:

Maybe...but in that case it would make more sense to say it is split across the middle :smile:

Good point ............ but I shall still ignore it ................... :raspberry:

It's up to J. White to hold on to his shirt by playing well & put some decent cross into the box.

So far so good for JW then.

Jason should play further forward.

Maybe he'd be better played 'down the middle':smile:
