This is a list of Greek-Australian semi-professional clubs I compiled in an earlier post a short while ago. I'll list the others to play at the countries highest level first, followed by the others currently playing in the National Premier League. Melbourne: South Melbourne Hellas Est 1959- Still the countries most successful ever club. 4X NSL Champions, 1 Oceanic Champions League Title and an appearance in the FIFA Club World Cup (where they played Manchester United). Heidelberg United Est 1958- Formed by Makedones mostly from Florina, 2X NSL runner's up Sydney: Sydney Olympic Est 1957 - 2x NSL Champions Adelaide: West Adelaide Hellas Est 1962 - 1 NSL championship The clubs listed below play in the NPL. Being from South Australia I'll name the Greek clubs playing in leagues below the NPL Victoria: Bentleigh Greens (Cypriot) Northcote City Oakleigh Cannons Port Melbourne South Melbourne Heidelberg Other Victorian teams brought to my attention by a fellow PAOK poster Nea Bafra "Altone East [PAOK] Bayside Argonauts Western Suburbs Clifton Hill Malvern City Morwell Pegasus South Springvale [ARIS] Yarraville FC Kingston City [Oly...ftoo] Brunswick City." New South Wales: Sydney Olympic Hamilton Olympic South Australia: Adelaide Comets Adelaide Olympic West Adelaide Hellas Adelaide Cobras (Cypriot, play in another division below) Messinian Association Hawks (Amateur club) Pontian Eagles (Amateur club) Salisbury Florina (Amateur club) Western Australia: Floreat Athena Northern Territory: Darwin Olympic Hellenic Athletic Queensland: Olympic FC ACT: Canberra Olympic Tasmania: Olympia FC If anyone from else from Australia wants to add other Greek clubs from leagues below the NPL feel free.

Especially since he'll only have to work 2/3 of a season.

he was a madeshift cb because benfica had some injuries and suspensions , i believe they played with half a b team and still won away against zenit. apart from that he always plays as dm. he played a great match , mitro didnt had a good match but only had 1 chance i believe , he and jonas were subbed , mitro in the 66th minute or so.

I find this rumor particularly unbelievable considering that Santos seems to have found at least some measure of success with Portugal. If people were screaming about him resigning, that might be more realistic. But as teke says above, he can easily parlay this into a move to a better league, a better team, etc etc.

I figured this would happen, it's his first major tournament with Portugal though, unless he does extremely bad I don't see it happening (actually I think Portugal are the darkhorse in the upcoming Euro Championship).

Samaris made it into the UCL team of the week. I don't know if its a good thing for Greece that he's playing CB, rather than CDM. Since Greece already has the CB spot sorted for Sokratis/Manolas/KPapa. But its nice to know that he can play there. Lets wait and see who Benfica get in the next round.

WTF. Poor guy can't even get an MLS contract :tdown:

I would support that tv revenue split.

Ivic is experimenting with a 4-3-3 formation. The 3-5-2 formation was not possible for the average players that PAOK has on its roster currently. Anyway, Skondras and Golasa have also been ruled out for Saturday. With that in mind I present you my lineup for the game: --------------------- Vellidis ------------------- Kitsiou --- Vitor --- Malezas --- Tzavellas --- Kace -------- Tziolis ------- Charisis -- --- Mystakidis ------------------- Pelkas --- ----------------- Athanasiadis ---------------

I DON'T CARE ANYMORE.

I was sitting behind the benches and can definitely recall a few men in suits walking over to the olympiakos bench after the 3-0 went in after 15 minutes, Oly noticeably dropped off from that point on, none of us know what was said but you would think the message went out to them to cool off, if they were allowed to go at it for 90 minutes I have no doubt they would have put 10 past victory. I'm not gonna lie most gsl games are painful to sit through, entertainment wise the A league probably wins out, the thing is the new dawners actually think that makes the Australian league better, I remember the argument a few years ago that Brisbane roar would beat Stoke city cos they play better football and Stoke just hoof it, these clowns of course failing to realise that technically every Stoke player was on average 5 levels above the quality of an A league player and the difference being that Tony pulis directed his team to play that style, just because a team plays long ball it doesn't mean they have garbage players, but that's the level of idiots we are dealing with here. Aek proved the sheer gulf in technical ability when they came here. In fact you would notice in this country we always go through phases, first it was the Dutch craze, now Spanish is all the rage, when Ange postecoglou was coaching Brisbane playing a long ball was considered a sin, this year it's all about flares...we go through these little annoying buzz stages. Meanwhile in the real world of football (Europe) teams are scraping for titles, European spots and throwing everything on the line to avoid relegation, whilst here the same bat s%$#! boring teams play eachother every 3 weeks and teams like central coast can lose 100 games in a row and still be in the top flight. The latest classic on Fornaroli is a laugh, apparently he couldn't score goals in Greece because panathinaikos never had a midfielder of the caliber of Aaron mooy to feed him LOL...the same Aaron mooy that couldn't cut it in Scotland ffs. Honestly sometimes I wish we could just press the reset button and go back to the 90s and have the NSL, at least we enjoyed it for what it was and never compared our local heroes to global players or our clubs to global giants, here in Melbourne we all loved Paul Trimboli for eg but nobody would ever claim he was world class or anything, he was just a gun for Australian soccer and we loved him for it, I miss those days when everything felt real, nowadays everyone is trapped in fantasy land and listening to it does my head in.

My favorite PAOK jersey as it has the old emblem on it. If anyone has it and wants to sell it, I'm here... :D
