I don't own lederhosen but will get a pair when I make the trip to Munich. And you're right it's Oktoberfest. It's been in the plans for a while and will be a part of Oktoberfest/Czech Republic extravaganza.

We will probably have another international player. Biseswar and many other Dutch players with roots from Surinam(e) are able to play for this country without losing Dutch nationality from now on. This kept them from doing so before. Biseswar and several other (former) Eredivisie-players declared they are eager and ready to do it. Surinam(e) won its CONCACAF Nations League and is qualified for the 2021 Gold Cup. The 2022 WC is another goal and project for the team that has a lot of potential and experience. Go for it, Diego!!!

Additionaly on Sunday at 14:00 EET you can see the PAOK - Aris women's championship game on the team's youtube channel:

There is no doubt they made a step in the right direction, but they are still not able to qualify to any tournaments. Let's face it we did not make mediocre and diluted tournament (EURO 2020). That's a definition of a team that sucks. Just look at the teams that made it to that tournament and also teams that still have a chance to make it (Kosovo, North Macedonia, etc.). Like pash said we won two meaningless games against weak teams.

The PAOK - Larisa U19 game that will be played tomorrow at 14:00 EET will be available on PAOK TV. Free for annual subscribers. € 1.49 for a single subscription.

Very disappointing that Greece could not even get into the playoffs. Did Ange not realize that we needed just a result vs Estonia in the last NL game? The draw was made today we would have been a tough out with the way JVS has the team playing. If Greece was in path A Iceland are toughest side and path C Serbia though Norway are improving. What a wasted opportunity..

Or sue Olympiakos or the coach for damages related to his faking. The potential loss of revenue due to an easier champions League qualifying path. ?

Mate. You’re kidding me... Keep telling yourself that

Όπως και αν το δεις, είναι εντελώς λάθος η διαχείριση του ρόστερ όταν η ενδεκάδα αλλάζει μόνον σε τιμωρίες (κάρτες) ή τραυματισμούς!! Ο παίκτης που είναι μονίμως στον πάγκο νιώθει ότι αδικείται, ότι δεν παίρνει ευκαιρίες, κλπ. Επιπλέον, είναι σημαντικό να έχουν περισσότεροι παίκτες αγωνιστικό ρυθμό (πως να τον έχει πχ ο Mancini ή ο Martinez έχουν παίξει στα τελευταία 5 παιχνίδια 7' και 16', αντίστοιχα, συνολικά λεπτά;) Και να πω ότι έχουμε μια ομάδα που πάει τρένο, κερδίζει 3-0, παίζει μπαλάρα... καμία σχέση! Η ομάδα έπαιξε τα τελευταία 3 παιχνίδια με τους τελευταίους της βαθμολογίας και έφερε ισοπαλία με Πανιώνιο, κινδύνευσε εντός έδρας να φέρει Χ με Αστέρα (κλειστήκαμε όλο το 2ο ημίχρονο στην περιοχή μας), ενώ και με Παναιτωλικό έπαιξε "τόσο-όσο"! Επιπλέον και στα 3 παιχνίδια είναι πασιφανές ότι από τους 4 μεσοεπιθετικά, οι 3 είναι ντεφορμέ! Κατά τη γνώμη μου χρειάζεται το λιγότερο 2 αλλαγές μεσοεπιθετικά, που εξάλλου έχει και αρκετές ποιοτικές επιλογές = οι Αργεντίνοι που δεν χρησιμοποιούνται! Έτσι όμως όπως είναι τα πράγματα θα θεωρηθεί καινοτομία ακόμη και αν κάνει 1 μόνον αλλαγή στην ενδεκάδα!

Looking forward to an update on this one. It'll be bananas, I'm sure ?

I agree. Results speak.

I’m currently in Greece and got VIP tickets (long story) to the Greece v Finland game. Limnios is an absolute bullet. Catch him if you can.

If Olympiacos can sell players like Samaris and Retsos for 10 and 20 million, then we’d be silly to settle for 5 for Giannoulis and Limnios. Giannoulis has been a surprise, more, a revelation. When we got him last season as backup for Vierinha I think we all expected he’d be replaced before too long. Now, he’s locked the position down and to my surprise I’m comfortable with him being LB. But more important, he’s improving. What’s his ceiling ? If we were in say Holland or some other footballing country where players are produced like a production line then I wouldn’t be fussed with selling him but I ask how easy would it be to replace Giannoulis. You sell him for say 5, spend 2 or 3 on a replacement and by the time you factor in wages you’ve broken even. Big deal. Let’s keep him or sell for something outrageous. Something Olympiacos to their credit excel at. And as for us agreeing to these buyout clauses, it’s brain dead. Similar applies to Limnion who has been surprising so far this season. I pictured him as backup to Jaba and it’s the other way around.

Unfortunately developing youngsters is not part of the Aris game plan, they will however start a young Greek keeper this weekend against AEK because of an injury and a red card.

There it is. Greece beats a Finland team that didn't care and now we will qualify for the next World Cup. ??? Guys we are an embarrassment to the world. Don't even put your shirts on next summer. People will laugh. We are a long way off. Next summer we will again watch from the sidelines. Oh shame on us.
