Never thought you'd make a Savvidis/Greek football vid! Once again you hit it out of the park!!

[suleimanmustafa]

Interesting, now I wish football was used to teach history and politics in school

[MarkWTK]

wow, history, politics and football in the same video. tifo sets the bar very, very high for other sporting channels on youtube👏 road to 500k :)

[Padelos]

What a video guys, propably the best you have made. So much careful and accurate statements you made about football, business and politics issues. Keep up this amazing work.
From a greek guy

Great video!As a greek I can say that you are exactly right in yoyr analysis!Unfortunately many people in my country fail to see the rotten nature and corruption especially when it comes to their own teams.The AEK boss is also a known criminal quality and a mafia like figure also.

[kostasroussos]

I'm so tired of football corruption in my country.I've been a Panathinaikos fan for all my life, but I've stopped following the Greek Superleague in recent years not because we don't compete for the league title anymore but due to corruption and scandals like this one.This has happened to countless Greek football fans in recent years who, like myself, prefer to watch other European competitions like the EPL.This problem needs to be solved, as it brings the country on the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.Anyway, congrats on another great video keep up the good work.

[Asasnol]

Ηi i am Greek, AEK fan. Amazingly accurate research about a topic where verifiable intel is hard to find. Great job.

[skeletosiliopoulos]

this video was very well written in all of its aspects
i was especially surprised with how right you got the politics and the history in this video while many other foreigners (not Greeks) usually get things mixed up
-Props 👏👏👏

[CaliRed]

As a Forest fan, could we get another video going into more detail about Marinakis? I really don't trust the guy, and that's saying something considering we had Al Hasawi as a previous owner.

[aristerosgiatros]

Props to you for the video..(from one of the few paok ultras that frequently watch your content)

[konstantinosp.]

I think it's one of the most accurate videos i have ever seen about Greece. Amazing job!!

[thodorismilis]

I mean I'm Greek and even a Greek couldn't have said the story better! What a great video! Keep up the good work!

[theodoreyiannopoulos]

Coming from a Thessaloniki resident, your video is highly accurate, and rare in that it states the fact without overbearing judgment.

[panosgix]

Gongrats for the cover of these events. Usually when ppl from other countries do a report on such incidents they tend to be a bit disinformed or doing a bit of a sluppy job but you had your facts really straight. Cheers from Athens, Greece. P.S Panathinaikos and Liverpool Fan.

[MrMarios]

Great and very detailed video, i just want to point out that majority of Greece's population (especially Northern Greece) dont agree on the name given to "FYROM" and that can be seen in the numberous public protests (especially the one in Thessaloniki). You should also cover more owners like Melissanidis, the owner of AEK, who also controls many shares in OPAP, Greece's biggest gambling company which got completely private in 2013.
Unfortunately in Greece, i doubt if even one owner is completely clean and not controlled by political parties or outsiders. Greece has always been a puppet to East and West, and sadly this got into football as well.

[atouloupas]

I couldn’t have imagined a channel other than yours uploading a video researched that well, considering also that it’s about Greek football and not many people care about it.

Amazing work, thank you so much!

[Iamsamg]

Amazing! Please do a pease on Romanian Politician/ Football Chairman George “gigi” Bocaly. The research alone will make it worth it.

[pansk]

Oh man! I'm from Greece and I can't believe how exact were the facts in this video. You have done your research so good! Congratulations!

[upoloxagos]

[MADMETHOD]
