Oh god I am not crying, YOU are crying

Olympiakos currently winning 1-0 as well -edit- clearly I'm behind the times. Had to join a conference call and immediately when that happened, the penalty apparently went down. Glanced over at my muted TV and saw Zivkogoal celebrating. Oh god I missed everything didn't I -edit again- oh god now it's 2-1 oh god oh god

Blackhawk, first twenty or so minutes were very one-sided in our favor. You were just bad luck. But don't worry, I crossed myself over a mati and got us that first goal.

I really can't tell what happened to Murg there. Perhaps it's when he was tackled into the other guy (which drew a foul against Murg)?

lol nevermind!

The mighty Aris is being spanked by Lamia, down 2-0 at halftime. You love to see it!

Is the team really dying to end the relegation group in 1st place, I wonder? I guess it's good if they can get motivated. I would say, though, that it does not bother me that they didn't threaten to win the league. Remember: the team only exists to give young players the opportunity to compete against the big boys. I think Jose Botto's philosophy of throwing them into the deep end is still pretty great.

Also notable: Koulierakis, Otto, Baba Rahman, Schwab, Brandon Thomas, and Depodov all are on two cards. If any are carded on Wednesday, they will miss the Aris game. Otto and I suppose Schwab are the most "disposable" here, but still not great.

We would have locked down the championship at the end of April if we had not dropped so many points to last-minute draws...

Garcia has great potential as a coach but I wonder how successful he'll be with a big competitor in any particular league. Still lacking in some experience (though he's getting there for sure). Didn't think he'd leave Panserraikos so quickly, but I'm also certain that team is a complete shambles behind the scenes (like, financially and administratively).

Sorry to hear the bad news, @Dutch Eagle Good to see the European games are (finally) locked down. For the league, we basically need AEK to draw at least one game, and for us to win both? Assuming AEK doesn't drop points in both remaining games (unlikely).

If the team was fighting a virus, it would explain basically the whole performance. You try jogging for a half hour when you're trying not to throw up!

We should engineer a pitch invasion just to keep things interesting. A three point deduction with two games to go, suddenly it's tense again!

Interesting. I would think Meite would be a good candidate to sign, even for four million? I wonder if this impasse is due to the older reports of us trying to get him for a little less (like 3 million or whatever). Would not shock me if we ended up with a Kedziora situation, where we just try to take him on loan again. https://inpaok.com/820436/o-meite-epistrefei-stin-benfika/ Also makes me wonder if the team just simply has a better alternative in mind (Misic?! who needs a defensive midfielder anyway...)

It's an Easter miracle!

He apparently made some claims of fan interference, from what I skimmed. Let's see if the match report states that a pitch invasion happened...

What was the deal with their coach at the end? I had to drop out at halftime

Koulierakis, Ekong, Nasberg, and Kedziora are all probably gone this summer. Need a big push for new CBs.

Why do you say he's played his last game?

So basically, we win the next two games and we've locked in our remaining in the league? Should be very doable.

So you're tellin' me the team's insistence on constant kissies is what doomed us

Pathetic game. Could tell within a few minutes that we would be playing exactly like we did in Brugge. Couldn't string a few passes together to save our lives.

No dropping? I don't know how I feel about that. There are only two teams in Greece that have any remote chance of stayig in, for example, the EL. Trickle-down slightly favors us as a league.

There it is, first minute of extra time. Let's see if Plzen have an "answer" to this.

That Fiorentina/Plzen match is about to go to extra time, Plzen is playing with ten men. Would be very surprising if they make it through.
