I am officially going to be leaving Phantis Forum by the end of 2021 to move on to new life in Las Vegas after living in Houston for over 30 years. I am pursuing a new career in the gambling industry. The city has so much to do where it is never boring. One thing is I have to get used to is the hot desert heat in the summers. Thank you everybody, I love you guys! ??

Probably the most important match for Olympiakos. Good chance to wrestle control of the group back

I think I need to step in here. We are going to lose 3:1.

What happened in this first half... We came out like s train. Scored a goal then fell apart. Lets hope the second half brings us the 3 points!

A draw vs Copenhagen followed by two wins by us means we end this in first place, right?

Terrible goal to conceed 1-1

GOAL

1;0 Zivkovic

GOOOOAAALLLLL!!!!!!! 1-0 Olympiakos!!!! EL-ARABI!!!!!

Will see after these two games (how the team performs & how JVS sets up the team) but if Greece don't get into the playoffs at the very least then I would lean toward letting him go. There has been some positives during his tenure especially off the start in 2019 but the end goal was to make the World Cup, JVS said the the same thing "Project Qatar" is what it will ultimately come down to.

JVS is about to sign an extension that will take him up to 2024 with the Ethniki. Thoughts?

I hope Olympiakos get the 3 points. They cant play any worse than they did in Germany.

We need to move forward from both of them, it was on them. They are not helping the national team, putting ego in front of country. Siovas, should be given another shot.

JVS has done a massive interview with sport24, where he covers plenty of topics it is worth a read! He address the Manolas/Siovas/Sokratis situation. He basically clarifies what we already knew, at the start of the qualifiers he reached out to Manolas and asked him to come back. JVS claims the conversation was a good and healthy exchange. A few days later Manolas calls back says he won't be returning. JVS expresses disappointment and tells him the door is always open for a return. Similar story with Sokratis. They have refused the call-up, presumably having being offended by not being called up for over a year by the time WC qualification rolled around. As for Siovas he said it is a different situation entirely, he feels Siovas spoke out of turn and hurt the teams comradery. He also talks about Tzolis, Tsimikas, Giannoulis and plenty of other topics. Full interview here https://longreads.sport24.gr/John-van-Schip/index.html

Polish crew for the game. Same ref that called the Ostersunds - PAOK game in 2017.

Very good news. The contract extension will be signed and announced next week. Three year deal, which does not include a buyout option. It appears the sticking points were the length of the new contract and the buyout option.

This is the game that will most likely decide the 1st place in the group. With a win we pretty much lock in the first place.

I'll be in Greece for this. If only I had a bit more time, I would have gone to the game. I will have to watch it on TV with other Athenians who will no doubt be delighted if we drop points. Παίξτε μπάλα ρε κοπρόσκυλα και πάρτε την πρωτιά!

sotiris alexandropou;os looks very impressive
