Once again we move at an astrnomically slow speed. These are key decisions that need to be made quickly, not a week and a half before pre-season is due to commence. There has been ample time for the club to move on Lucescu and have brought in a new manager and have been focusing on transfers and what type of player the new coach wants/needs. Instead we are here with the club seemingly scrambling late in the piece trying to figure out what the coaching staff will look like for 26-27. Poor managment and such slow decision making always sets us behind the 8 ball and it's only June. It sets us up to chase our tail for the rest of the season.

Yes we are much improved, and there are in fact a number of good young players in the mix right now which is positive. Perhaps I was being overly negative in the display but in truth I was referring to a midfield player who can create and unlock defences for our strikers. Yes a maestro. Smaller nations have produced better players in this position. To get the ball to our forwards and to take the ball and calm the play down. Too often we are overrun in the midfield there is not enough presence there at the moment. Hopefully Karetsas and others can show in the coming Nations League and Euro Qualifying.

I just don’t think I can agree with this. Yes Mouzakitis and played bad but between him Zaferies we have some young decent midfielders. I’m not saying great, but better than the last 10 years of midfielders. Are they Karagounis level? No but the biggest problem we have is defense. We don’t have the players to revert back to a defensive mindset. Our best defender got relegated in the Prem this year. Tsimakas sometimes plays for Roma, koulorakis may become something but still. We don’t have Socrates, Manolas, torosidis back there. For the first time in our nations history we have attacking creative players. We need a coach that can emphasize that. When you put a kourbelis, bouckalakis, Masouras, Mantalos on the field they make the rest of the creative players around them worse and stifle them. We need to clean house player wise and get a creative coach.

All the goodwill he had from the uefa qualifiers and the nations league is gone. We are going backwards. Anyone that has seen our last few games could tell.

Koleosho actually played in the program I coach in… born in my town in Connecticut. Pretty cool story

Watching this game reminds me of all those games were we would just pass it back to the goalie all game and pray for an over the top pass from the GK or a corner to win…

This is funny: https://7a0.com.br/en You can pick your all time World Cup team through a randmeer and it will simulate matches against other (great) teams from the past.

So I'm seeing stuff today (on instagram) claiming that Vieirinha is the new TD, but also that Leo Matos (!) is the new TD, but also that it's actually Vieirinha but Leo Matos is doing something with Brazil. Who knows where this will end up (and what will happen with Karypidis). Or if it truly matters.

Sweden 2-2 Greece FT I'll take it

That came out of nowhere. Slight touch off the inside of the post, just enough

MASOURAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you can also access through amazon prime and it will direct you there

If you’re in USA it’s free in fubo sports network. Type that in online and it’s an official feed

Hopefully we take these 2 friendlies seriously and prepare for the fall matchups vs good competition. Whatever happens, qualifying for the Euros is a MUST.

There are more players. I remember Prijovic playing for Serbia at the 2018 WC while being a PAOK-player. Glykos was subbed in at the 2014 WC when the first keeper (don't know his name) was injured. He was at PAOK at that time. Swiderski played in the 2022 WC just after he left us for the States. Your friend Christodoulopoulos was for sure. I have to dig in my brain. And maybe the internet. There must be more players. I remember the squad lists in "Voetbal International" mentioning PAOK as the current club. Not only in the Greek National team.

Koulouris was transferred on August 25th of 2025 to Al Ula in Saudi Arabia. Fee was € 4M.

Apparently Panathinaïkos tried to get us kicked out of the hotel and playing grounds as their choice did not meet their standards and ours were/are much better. The brave Dutch declined.

The next season Superleague will continue to have 14 teams. There was a vote to expend it to 16 teams and eliminate the playoffs, but the vote failed. The two new teams in Superleague will be Kalamata and the fake Iraklis (PO Triglia Iraklis).
