I don't really have anything against the 2 leg elimination format. What I hate the most is the groups stage portion and the fact that the draws are manipulated so the big teams don't meet each other until the semifinals. Wouldn't it be nice to see Olympiakos - AEK match up in the first round of the Greek Cup for example?

Σα, Χουτεσιώτης, Καραργύρης, Μεριά, Κούτρης, Μιράντα, Βούκοβιτς, Τοροσίδης, Μαρτίνης, Καμαρά, Μπουχαλάκης, Νάτχο, Φορτούνης, Φετφατζίδης Γκιλιέρμε, Γιώργος Μασούρας, Ναουέλ, Γκερέρο, Χασάν, Βοΐλης

I moved to London this weekend and went and watched my local team today, Fulham. They played in the cup against Oldham. It was quite a poor game, however Oldham who are in League 2 (4th division) managed to take a big scalp with a 2-1 win. Do they have a second game? No! Oldham came, they won, they went through. There were also other smaller teams beating bigger ones this weekend (Barnet beat Sheffield, Newport beat Leicester). This is the magic of the cup and in Greece we managed to make it so that the smaller teams have less chances of making it through. Regardless of the fact that I support PAOK, this tie should not have a second leg. If Panahaiki beat us then they should rightfully go through.
