Blackhawk

Ingason and Koulierakis back in full practice, and will most likely be ready for Sunday's game.

Tzolis played for the U21 NT in the qualifier against Belarus in which he also scored the NT's only goal. That's why he has not played for the senior NT.

Only players born after 1/1/2004 are eligible to play for U19. Konstantelias and Koulierakis were born in 2003, so they can't play.

With a win in this game and at least a tie in Karaiskaki we are back in the hunt for the top 2 spots in the Superleague.

Konstantelias subbed in the second half in the game against Lithuania.

Game highlights

Konstantelias first game for NT as he substitutes another PAOKtsaki (Pelkas) in the game with Gibraltar.

Watched most of the Surinam - Mexico 0:2 game last night. Biseswar played for 65 minutes before he god subbed, right after Mexico scored their first goal. Biseswar did not play well.

1:0 loss to the Hungarians. Our national team was pathetic, hardly creating any offensive threat. Next game is Tuesday against Belarus: EURO 2025 Qualifying: Greece - Belarus March 28, 2023, 17:00 EEST Live stream on EPO's Youtube Channel

Friendly game: Greece U21 - Hungary U21 24-March, 2023 - 17:00 EEST Game will be streamed on EPO's Youtube Channel:

Lucescu will serve one game ban for his red card in the Aris - PAOK game. He will miss our next game against AEK.

Achilleas Beos, owner of NFC Volos and Mayor of the city of Volos has announced that he will not allow the Greek Cup final to be played in the Panthessaliko Stadium. Inching closer to a cup final in the empty OAKA Stadium in Athens.

Eight of the PAOK players are in the starting lineup against Estonia. So basically the game is between PAOK U19 - Estonia.

3:3 tie against Makedonikos. PAOK 'B' next game is against Veroia but it was postponed because PAOK 'B' will be missing players with international duties.

Lucescu red carded and I expect a minimum 3 game ban.

2:1 final. It wasn't pretty but I'll take it.

2:1 zivko

1:1 with Schwab penalty

Taison, Schwab, Sastre come in. Narey, Dantes, Kedziora out.

We'll need to change a lot in second half if we want to score goals. Aris dangerous on counters. Could have been a lot worse.

Bad goal. Need to equalize before the half.

Starting lineup:

Lucescu did not announce a squad for the game. Looks like they are waiting for last minute news on Ingason.
