Give kottas a shot, why did we sign him if we wont give him a shot. Just sae squad for match the kid is not in squad, so their goes that discussion. All new signings are in squad...

I am too young to have seen him play live but heard lots of stories about how talented and how good a footballer he was. One of the all-time Greek football legends no doubt. O Θεος να τον αναπαύσει.

So what you're saying is, we will play Vierinha as CB

Michailidis will miss this game due to cards, which leaves us only with Kottas and the newly acquired Wieteska as options on defense.

Today Mimis "The General" Domazos died at the age of 83 after suffering a cardiac arrest on his birthday two days earlier. Domazos was Mr Panathinaikos but played the 1978/1979-season for AEK to prove he was not a "finished player" and even clinched the title. He finished his career (after a transfer in the winter of the 1979/1980-season) at his beloved Greens though. He holds the record of 536 appearances in the Alpha Ethniki and scored 139 goals (#15 on the all time list of Alpha Ethniki). Domazos was capped 50 times and scored 4 goals for the Ethniki.

First time ever Olympiakos defeated FC Porto on their home soil. Same stadium where Greece defeated Portugal in the opening match 2-1 back in EURO 2004. Brings back great memories! Currently at 12th place, Olympiakos has a slim chance of getting the final spot for automatic qualification to the Round of 16. I fully expect them to be in the playoffs as a seeded side. Oh I wish they would have beaten Twente and FCSB.

Here are the videos. Both pretty good, actually:

The hipsters would LOVE to see that team out there

So it seems like Greece and Norway will be in for the 11th spot. We have an advantage on the rest of the teams below so hopefully we don't mess it up. The 10th spot is not happening.

Now ranked 39 in the world. Moving in the right direction. They will get into the 20s this year. https://inside.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/men

Pretty soon 3 teams would make champions league and Athens Kallithea would be our representative in Europa League 🤣

Yes we are 100 % through to the play off round. According to the current standings (not the table shown above) we would play either Ajax or Union St. Gilloise. However the final standings will change after the final round. I would not mind playing FCBS or Plzen again in the play off round. We could and should have won both games.

Did we secretly jump up a few places?

Anyway, some thoughts: Schwab very good, he'll be missed (assuming we move on from him) Tissoudali and Chalov BOTH look like they'd be better in a 4-4-2. Why is Lucescu resisting? Hell, Chalov and Thomas could probably be a good team up front too. Here are current standings now that games have ended. We're now in 17th place MP W L D Points Next round 1 Lazio 7 6 1 0 19 Next round 2 Eintracht Frankfurt 7 5 1 1 16 Next round 3 Athletic Club 7 5 1 1 16 Next round 4 Man United 7 4 3 0 15 Next round 5 Lyon 7 4 2 1 14 Next round 6 Tottenham 7 4 2 1 14 Next round 7 Anderlecht 7 4 2 1 14 Next round 8 FCSB 7 4 2 1 14 Play-offs 9 Galatasaray 7 3 4 0 13 Play-offs 10 Bodø/Glimt 7 4 1 2 13 Play-offs 11 Viktoria Plzeň 7 3 3 1 12 Play-offs 12 Olympiacos 7 3 3 1 12 Play-offs 13 Rangers 7 3 2 2 11 Play-offs 14 AZ Alkmaar 7 3 2 2 11 Play-offs 15 Union Saint-Gilloise 7 3 2 2 11 Play-offs 16 Ajax 7 3 1 3 10 Play-offs 17 PAOK 7 3 1 3 10 Play-offs 18 Real Sociedad 7 3 1 3 10 Play-offs 19 Midtjylland 7 3 1 3 10 Play-offs 20 IF Elfsborg 7 3 1 3 10 Play-offs 21 Roma 7 2 3 2 9 Play-offs 22 Ferencváros 7 3 0 4 9 Play-offs 23 Fenerbahçe 7 2 3 2 9 Play-offs 24 Beşiktaş 7 3 0 4 9 25 Porto 7 2 2 3 8 26 Twente 7 1 4 2 7 27 Braga 7 2 1 4 7 28 Hoffenheim 7 1 3 3 6 29 M.

Other notable games: Midtjylland against Fenerbahce <-- this is great for us because we're guaranteed to finish above one of these teams, methinks Roma vs Eintracht <-- we'd want Roma to lose or draw Porto vs Maccabi - a loss by us and a win by Porto will see them overtaking us Twente vs Besiktas - got to think Besiktas will spank them; I guess hope for a Twente win or draw Braga vs Lazio - I can't imagine Braga will win (we would want Lazio to win, though they have no real incentive to try hard) -edit- I guess it doesn't matter what happens in those games? From PaokCT's favorite non-fetish-related twitter account:

YOU COWARD!!!!!

2:0 Final. Big win and almost certain qualification to the next stage. Could have score couple more at the end. Konstantelias, Kedziora and Schwab our best players.

Last sub: Tissoudali for Despodov. Only 3 subs today.

Shola subbed in for Taison.

Valto re Gianni

Chalov subbed out. Brandon subbed in

Slavia dominating play 2nd half. But all it takes is another counter by us

I hate to say it, but we might need a 3rd goal.
