The game against Turkey has been officially announced by EPO. It will be played on May 30, 2019 at Antalya Stadium in Antalya at 21:00 EEST. Also between May 22-29 the national team will take part in training camp in Apeldoorn, Holland before getting back to Athens for the two EURO games against Italy and Armenia.

Couldn't agree more. Brexit is barking at the wrong tree.... There was NO need for Brexit. The Polish builder isn't the problem! Future is impossible to know but signs aren't good, I have friends in various companies, they are already making plans to relocate, and companies hate uncertainty. Brexit was an excuse for lower income people, extremists etc to voice their disgust to main Government for decades of UNACCEPTABLE neglect (e.g. ghost towns of the Midlands and the North, i.e. southbound direction of money). The problem is what these people don't understand is that if the services sectors (finance, London) gets poorer everyone will be affected. If 20000 jobs are lost in the City, things in Middlesbrough will get even worse.

You must be the turkey that voted for Christmas surely! You are not serious.... Your post is full of unsubstantiated claims. It's so shockingly bad that I don't even know where to start. Even worse than your PAOK posts.... 1. "The EU is a gang". Oh yeah? Really? Because you say so? Because Farage says so? 2. "The first crime is the currency". Really? This is just BS. Greece WANTED to join. They weren't forced. Britain wanted to stay out, they were allowed to stay out. What are you on about? 3. Yes people were lied by politicians! Which makes this referendum a total farce! 4. What Brexit did you vote for do you know? Are you ready for no deal? Are you ready to possibly become poorer? You don't have answers for that, do you? What the hell do you think this is? The Darkest Hour movie? This is real life and stupid choices matter! 5. The EU is really handing us a lifeline right now and being kind to us while we have been absolute idiots." Again unsubstantiated bullshit. You have done your analysis and you are confirming that this isn't the case, right? At least I voted remain, knowing that remain is clear, we carry on as is. I am happy with my life in Britain, extremely happy with quality of life and my income, so we remain and we fight from WITHIN the EU TO MAKE THINGS BETTER for the UK (clearly things can be improved but UK has the GRAVITAS to push for changes). When you voted leave, which leave did you vote for? . Did you vote for Leave with a deal or no deal? WTO terms? Customs union? Border in IE? Admit that you had NO clue my friend. And don't just say "LEAVE is LEAVE" like those chavs or QT, because clearly we have seen that there are at least 10 versions of LEAVE, and if you go for NO DEAL LEAVE, be prepared for the worst. I am not saying it will happen, but I have NO proof that it won't happen either. Do you know that most companies in the UK and particularly in the City are making plans to F*** off from the UK? Do you know what that will mean? And I am not going to say I know! But I do know that the little no risk position is to REMAIN. LEAVE is ANYONE'S GUESS, and that's the problem with it. Nobody has done an analysis, and nobody can guarantee anything.

Αει σιχτίρ επιτέλους με το μπεκρή το Μπουτάρη που κατεβάζει (!!) την ελληνική σημαία από το Δημαρχείο για να βάλει τη σημαία της γυφτο-μπάοκ! Τη σημαία μίας ΜΑΜΗΜΕΝΗΣ ανώνυμης εταιρίας στην τελική. Στο δικό μου δημαρχείο!! Ουστ από δω Κοπρόσκυλα, τα έχετε ξεφτελίσει όλα πια σ'αυτή τη χώρα για λίγη δημοσιότητα! Μπάσταρδοι λαικιστές, πληρωμένα τομάρια.

Τα περισσότερα πρωταθλήματα στην Ευρώπη σχεδόν φτάνουν προς το τέλος τους κι έτσι ξεκαθαρίζει σε μεγάλο βαθμό και ο ευρωπαϊκός “χάρτης” της επόμενης σεζόν. Ο Άρης θα ξεκινήσει την ευρωπαϊκή του “περιπέτεια” από τον β΄προκριματικό γύρο του Europa League και ήδη έχει ξεκαθαρίσει σε μεγάλο βαθμό ο α΄προκριματικός γύρος απ΄όπου και θα προέλθει ο αντίπαλός του, καθώς αναμένεται να είναι στο γκρουπ των ισχυρών. Υπενθυμίζουμε πως συνολικά 94 ομάδες συγκροτούν τον α΄προκριματικό γύρο εκ των οποίων οι 8 θα προκύψουν από τις 14 ομάδες που θα ξεκινήσουν νωρίτερα. Οι περισσότερες από τις οποίες είναι ήδη γνωστές. Ακόμα δεν έχουν γίνει οριστικά γνωστές οι ομάδες από την Κύπρο, το Ισραήλ, την Πολωνία, την Αλβανία. Δύο ομάδες “χρωστάει” η Βουλγαρία, όπως και η Σκωτία.Δείτε ποιες ομάδες είναι ήδη στον α΄προκριματικό γύρο και πόσες κενές θέσεις απέμειναν ακόμα… Στον β΄προκριματικό γύρο, θα μπουν 20 ομάδες που θα έχουν αποκλειστεί από τα προκριματικά του Champions League, 47 που θα προκριθούν από τον α΄προκριματικό του Europa League και 27 (μεταξύ των οποίων Άρης, Ατρόμητος), που εξασφάλισαν κατευθείαν το “εισιτήριο” γι αυτή την φάση της διοργάνωσης, από τα πρωταθλήματά τους. Στις 19 Ιουνίου, ο Άρης θα μάθει το ζευγάρι του α΄προκριματικού γύρου από το οποίο θα προκύψει ο αντίπαλός του στο β΄προκριματικό. Άλλωστε όλα δείχνουν πως οι “κιτρινόμαυροι” θα είναι στο γκρουπ των ισχυρών άρα θα αποφύγουν τις ομάδες που ήδη όπως κι αυτοί έχουν κερδίσει ένα εισιτήριο για τον β΄προκριματικό γύρο. Και η αλήθεια είναι πως μιλάμε για πολύ δύσκολους αντιπάλους. Ας δούμε ορισμένους… Ομάδες όπως η Μάντσεστερ Γιουνάιτεντ, η Άλκμααρ, η Στρασμπούργκ έχουν ήδη μπει στον β ΄γύρο. Φυσικά, δυνατός αντίπαλος θα είναι ο 7oς της Ισπανίας (Σεβίλλη), o 6ος της Ιταλίας (Ρόμα ή Τορίνο) και ο 7oς της Γερμανίας (Άιντραχτ ή Βόλφσμπουργκ). Ομάδες που δεν θα είναι στις υποψήφιες αντιπάλους του Άρη καθώς θα είναι στο γκρουπ των ισχυρών… https://www.pressaris.gr/super-3-όταν-οι-επενδύσεις-σε-πολιτικούς-κα/

Is there any prize money for Paok for taking out Super league title and winning the cup?

Some aria has the Europa league final.

A big part of the problem with Brexit, or rather the referendum, was it was in no way clear on what the consequences would be of leaving the EU. And a big part of the problem with defining that, was, it hadn't been defined! They are still trying to negotiate! The entire process has been a farce. The key issue was immigration (read cheap labor competing for jobs). Even if this can be proven to be a falsehood (and I've never checked in detail) this was the key thing that turned most voters to vote pro-Brexit. It's easy to preach about equality, inclusiveness, humanity and be an idealist. Fine, open your borders, today, right now, and let 2 billion Chinese, Mexicans and Indians in. Watch them take your jobs. If not yours, those of many around you. Not so appealing now ? People will vote to protect "their way of life" and "getting rid of foreigners" is an easy play. I was not surprised by the result. I didn't think it'd get over the line, but at the same time I wasn't surprised. What Britain should have done is used the referendum to broker some sort of a deal to limit immigration. There was no need to leave the EU. Now that it's done, Britain doesn't know which way to turn to broker a satisfactory deal. Either way, they're going to get screwed in the short term as the EU will actively try and make life difficult. In the long run, I guess we'll see if it was a good decision or not. Until the details are worked out, it's almost impossible to know.

Congrats on the cup wn and the double boys, well done!

A goal and assist for him overnight in Stuttgart's 3-0 win over Wolfsburg. The result means with one match to play Stuttgart have avoided automatic relegation and are heading to the relegation play-off against 3rd from Bundesliga 2. He's hit some form at the right time of the season, hopefully he plays a big part in keeping them in the Bundesliga and comes into the key matches for the Ethniki in this form

All Brexit is, is the rich manipulating ignorant and racist people to vote to make themselves poorer. The Brexit charge was led by Boris Johnson (born Ironically from a Turkish immigrant father) and obviously an opportunist who will say and do anything (even contradict himself) to get into Number 10, Nigel Farrage (a vile Racist) and Jacob Rees Mogg a disaster Capitalist who is just looking to enrich himself out of Brexit and has already moved his fortune to Rep of Ireland in order to avoid the effects a Hard Brexit will have on it and to avoid the EU's Anti Tax Avoidance Directive which came into effect at the beginning of 2019. Not to mention the Leave campaign blatantly lied and manipulated the stupid on Facebook by printing misstruths perpetuated by Cambridge Analytica. The poor saps who voted for it are just like turkeys wishing for Christmas and the country is already starting to see the effect this is happening with the Nissan not building the X-Trail in Sunderland, the Honda plant closing in Sheffield etc. Yeah they've came out and said its not because of Brexit but any idiot can read between the lines and see it is. The Nissan X-Trail and Honda's will now be built in Japan, who incidentally recently signed a Trade Agreement with the EU so no import tariffs will be imposed! My industry (TV Broadcast Industry) has been virtually destroyed by Brexit, and it hasn't actually happened yet! All TV channels which broadcast from the UK but which air in the EU (and trust me there's loads) will now have to broadcast from the EU in order to get the correct operating licence. So loads of channels in London are having to be either relocated to the EU or put in the Cloud and monitored remotely within the EU. This is effecting jobs massively and I already know of four companies which have gone or are in the process of moving channels to the EU (Discovery, Babcock, Arqiva and Encompass). I have a friend who works at Arqiva and the guy is in a depressed state and about to lose his job, in his own words "I bloody hate Brexit, every time I think about it I get in a bad mood, it's getting to me". I pointed this out to a Brexiteer on Twitter and he told me I was lying, the Muppet! That's the level of understanding you're dealing with, with Brexiteers they are so blinded by what they want, that if you try and point out what the consequences of it are (even if it has already happened) they won't believe you. They have the same mentality as Holocaust Deniers! I'm almost of the point now where I think yeah let the F***ers make themselves poor and have what they voted for. Which will ultimately be the devaluation of the pound (even more), and a massive increase in the cost of living (as the UK imports most goods) and the loss of jobs (as Corporations scramble to relocate to within the EU).

Three game before the first EURO game in June is fine. The last club game in Greece is the Greek Cup on May 11. That means there is almost a full month before the game with Italy. You don't want the players to be without any game action for that long.

Our good friend @ukworm who has probably never lived anywhere else in the UK except for London (please correct me if I am wrong, I usually try not to make assumptions). First of all I did not vote. Although I could have, I chose not to as I was not living in the UK at the time. Personally I believe that you should only be allowed to vote in the country you are payng taxes in. It is the same reason why I disagree with Greeks living here voting during the general elections. If you vote then you should have to live with the immediate consequences (not just because you want to return one day in the future). Now let us go over your points. 1) What kind of union would try and make an example of a member that has democratically chosen to leave? If it were a peaceful organisation it would merely allow said member to leave without any of this nonsense. Why on Earth is there a bill for leaving? This is why it is a gang. Just like a gangster must pay his way out of the clan, the same applies here. 2) I never said that Greece didn't want to join. The Greek politicians saw the opportunities to line their pockets with EU money. Same with so many farmers and other common folk who cheated the system and got paid. My point was that it was a trap in the first place to have countries with much poorer economies adopt the Euro. Besides, when has Greece ever said no to the EU or US in the past 40 years? The last person to stand up to the bullies had a whole fiasco at the Polytechnic staged by Uncle Sam and then died in prison after refusing to accept his release. By no means should the deaths that day be condoned and I am not saying I agree with everything he stood for - this is another story altogether. 3) As I said, politicians on both sides lie. What is your point? 4) This is all scaremongering. With regards to being prepared, I too have no idea what is round the corner. I think after witnessing the conditions of Greece and having lived in Italy (again, both countries have themselves to blame first), I would rather battle than succumb. You know, die standing instead of living kneeling. Those were the ways of the Ancient Hellenes though, unfortunately they no longer apply to us neo-Greeks. 5) Why would someone who is supposed to be indifferent about the departure of a fellow member offer extension after extension? It isn't because they are kind. We have already established that the EU is a bully. That is exactly what it is. An insecure bully that wants to take over by humiliating other countries like Greece, Italy and Portugal. The minute somebody (UK) stood up to the bully we saw exactly how frail the union is. How many suicides are there every month in Greece? How many business in Italy were bought up by German giants? How many Spaniards have had to leave their country to find work elsewhere? All so that the Euro can stay afloat and keep the fatcats happy. I couldn't care less about the City (if it is the financial district you are referring to) and as far as I am concerned we should have a national holiday if the banks and other financial institutions decide to close up and move elsewhere. You are talking to someone who did 4 years investment banking and decided to leave after witnessing exactly what goes on behind the scenes. They are one of the reasons why the world is in a crisis. The North of England has always been neglected, perhaps if we actually do leave (which I doubt will happen) we could finally give some money to those people. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I feel ashamed reading your points. People in London really ought to travel to different parts of the UK. Having lived in London since January I can confirm that it really is a giant bubble. Now I will move on to your second post. Nobody said the Polish builder is the problem. Where did you hear this? As I said before, if someone from another country is moving here and finding work without any contacts and with English as a second or third language, while the native is unemployed then it is indeed the native who is the problem. I saw this as an issue of integration. There are many people who choose not to integrate into our Western society. Did you hear about the girls in villages in Germany with blonde hair? The police approached them and told them to dye their hair black as not to arrouse immigrants. How about all the Asian grooming gangs up North? (I once heard an Pakistani man say "Ok, and what about the Catholic Church with the little boys?" and to be fair he has a point - not that two wrongs make a right). Like many others, I am for open borders, but in order for this to happen you need to be on the same level culturally. Women walking around London with only their eyes visible is wrong. They are not objects, they are human beings. This is a cultural issue, gentlemen. If I were to go to Saudi Arabia I would have to respect their laws. You (should) respect the laws of any country when visiting/moving there. Why is it that here is different? Why do we bend over backwards for the minority? These days you are called a racist for flying your St. George's flag. Space. I don't need to remind you that the UK is an island with limited space. A lot of the green spaces where I grew up (outside of London) have now been bought up and built upon. Soon there won't be any green left. The traffic on the roads every morning is a nightmare where they have built but not readjusted the road. Schools are overflowing and hospitals cannot cope. Indeed there is already a growing population and age of living is increasing but it also doesn't help when people from all corners of the world are also moving here. Again, you probably wouldn't know about this because you live in London! If it annoys you that much that the majority (ie everyone except those living in the lovely bubble called London) voted out in their country then you can always pick up and leave. This isn't me telling you to F off, I have no right to tell anyone where they should or shouldn't be. This is me telling you that you are not a tree.
