Greece was the home team. Game was played at Nea Smyrni Stadium. Koutsias got some playing time before he travels to Chicago to sign with Chicago Fire.

Let's get a convincing win so we can do a rotation in the return game next Wednesday.

Brandon played fairly well today despite being sick. He was our only scoring threat in the game. I am more disappointed with Narey last few games.

When you don't score you don't win. Two more wasted points.

We are not winning this game.

Need to score there Brandon.

El Kaddouri is practicing and will be available for the game. MIA: Kotarski, Vieirinha, Kurtic, Lyratzis, Tsaousis

In other transfer news, it looks like we are loaning Quagliata to Brazilian team Cuiaba for the rest of the season, with the player's salary being split 50-50 between PAOK and Cuiaba. Apparently there will be buyout clause set as part of the deal. BTW, Sidclay is currently playing for Cuiaba.

That's an excellent deal for a player that has not proven anything yet. He has not even played at the top level and only has handful of games with the senior squad. All he has going for him is the fame that he is talented. Koutsias has slowly become Tzolis number two. He is trying at any cost to leave the team for something better that is being pushed by his agents (father and uncle). Let's not forget that he extended his contract in the summer for 300K per season, but with clause that he will be loaned out. He had no intentions of trying to win a spot in the senior squad. Let's hope he does very well with the Fire and we can get some benefits from the resale clause. I just hope that they place additional clause in the negotiations with Chicago Fire that the player can't be sold to another Greek team. I might even get my fat ass out and attend some Fire games this season.

Our final roster for the European Indoor Championships: Άνδρες 60μ.: Γιάννης Νυφαντόπουλος (ΓΣ Ελευθέριος Βενιζέλος) 800μ.: Χρήστος Κοτίτσας (ΑΣΣ Αλέξανδρος Μακεδονίας) 60 μ. εμπ.: Κώστας Δουβαλίδης (ΓΣ Ελευθέριος Βενιζέλος) Ύψος: Αντώνης Μέρλος (ΠΑΟK) Επί κοντώ: Εμμανουήλ Καραλής (ΟΣΦΠ) Μήκος: Μίλτος Τεντόγλου (ΓΣ Κηφισιάς) Τριπλούν: Δημήτρης Τσιάμης (ΟΣΦΠ), Νίκος Ανδρικόπουλος (Αμεινίας Μεσογείων), Ανδρέας Πανταζής (ΑΟ Μεγάρων) Γυναίκες 60μ. : Ραφαέλα Σπανουδάκη (ΓΣ Ηλιούπολης), Πολυνίκη Εμμανουηλίδου (ΑΣΣ Αλέξανδρος Μακεδονίας) 400μ.: Ειρήνη Βασιλείου (Αμεινίας Μεσογείων), Ανδριάνα Φέρρα (Παναξιακός) 3.000μ.: Αναστασία Μαρινάκου (ΠΆΟ) 60μ. εμπ.: Ελισάβετ Πεσιρίδου (ΓΣ Ηλιούπολης), Αναΐς Καραγιάννη (ΑΕΚ) Επί κοντώ: Κατερίνα Στεφανίδη (ΑΟ Φιλοθέης), Νικόλ Κυριακοπούλου (ΑΓΕΣ Κάμειρος 2009) Τριπλούν: Σπυριδούλα Καρύδη (ΑΟ Κάλλιστος) I think we have a good chance get at least two medals. One of course is Tentoglou. The other one most likely Karalis. Stefanidi always does well in big competitions, but she has not been able to jump more than 4.60m indoors this season. Hopefully the rest of the athletes come close to their personal bests. I am surprised we are able to send 3 triple jumpers to the championships since their performances are quite low.

Kotarski is serving his yellow card ban in this game.

I was in Vegas one month ago for the first time in my life. That's one interesting (and weird) place. I have seen weirder things out there than women looking like pash.

Yes he got a silver medal in the World Championships in slalom. Might Greece's best chance to win the first medal in the Winter Olympics.

The 39-year old Drisbioti also broke the national indoor record in 3,000 meter walk with 12:18.26

I am surprised that these days with the cameras everywhere, the front office can't locate and apprehend the individual that threw the firecracker and escort him and ban him from the stadium.

AEX officials the locker room of the referees and demanded better calls. That is the reason why fouls were not called on any AEX players, including two infractions by Amrabad on Sastre which should have resulted in ejection from the game.

Excellent result. Too bad we through away so many points against smaller teams. We would be at the top of the table.

2:0 Koulierakis

That was all Konstantelias magic.

Narey

Only if we get an offer we can't refuse. I would hold out for at least 20 mil.

Kotarski and Koulierakis are back and are available for the game. With that in mind my starting lineup: --------------- Kotarski --------------- Sastre - Ingason - Koulierakis - Soares ----- Augusto --------- Schwab ------ Zivkovic ---- Konstantelias ---- Narey ------------- Oliveira -----------------

New salary for Konstantelias is 550,000 Euro. Each season he will also get a 15% increase. There is no buyout clause in the new contract.
