The only reason I can see is to provide experience support to our two youngsters (Kotarski and Talichmanidis).

ERT has the TV rights to the Mediterranean Games. Not sure how we compare to Italy or Portugal, but our U21 team could not compete with Portugal in our recent qualifying games. Greek football team has never been too successful in the Mediterranean Games which started in 1951. We only won the competition once in 1991 and the reason was probably because the games were held in Athens. The final was Greece - Turkey 3:1. In 1997 we finished 3rd by beating Spain 1:0. In 1987 Turkey beat us 1:0 in the bronze medal game. In 1979 we lost the bronze medal to Algeria (1:2). All other times we either failed to qualify from the group stage, or did not take part (1955, 1959, 1963, 1967).

The games are held in Oran, Algeria between June 25 - July 5, 2022. Eight teams are taking part in the football tournament. The teams are splint into two groups. Top two teams from each group qualify to the semifinal. The groups are GROUP A Greece Italy Portugal Turkey GROUP B Spain France Moroco Algeria Our schedule is: 26-June: Greece - Turkey 28-June: Greece - Italy 30-June: Greece - Portugal

Let's not forget that in 2004 they completely rebuilt gates 1,2 and 3 and they did not find anything during excavations. But than again the government was funding the constructions as part of the 2004 Olympics, so things could have been swept under the carpet.

Apparently we are paying PAS Giannina 300K for the player. Not a bad signing to have as a back up until Michailidis returns from his injury. Still think that we need a top class CB to go with Ingason though.

Schwab is in Thessaloniki and is negotiating his future with PAOK. PAOK has offered him 1+1 contract with a clause that the 2nd year of his contract will be automatically extended if he plays at least 30 minutes in the 70% of the teams official games. Schwab is demanding 2-year contract without any clauses.

Zivkovic, Kurtic, Mihaj, and Lyratzis received extra vacation days since they played with various national teams and will not join the team tomorrow for the first practice session. Missing will also be Koutsias, who will join the national team for the Mediterranean games in Algeria.

Koutsias will be part of the national team that will take part in the Mediterranean games in Oran, Algeria which start on June 25 and finish on July 5.

His new contract is 1+1

Basically he sucked all last season at Slavia Prague, getting only minimal playing time on their 'B' team.

The owner of the site accomplished his goal, which was a creation of an Olympiakos Academy here in Chicago with backing from PAE Olympiakos. Once that was accomplished he has lost interest in running Greeksoccer.com. He tried to sell the domain, but apparently nobody showed any interest. Of interest is the fact that Greeksoccer.com in the beginning was hosted here at Phantis.com

Tachatos from the 'B' team did not renew his contract with PAOK and signed a 3-year deal with NFC Volos.

The draw could have been better (Union), but also worse (Djurgardens). If we really want to make our minimum goal (group stage), than we should not be worried about the caliber of the teams that were our possible opponents. If we don't go into the two games prepared both physically and mentally, than we will pay for it. Recent past (Ostersud) proves it.

The winner of the Floriana - Petrocub or Racing Union would be a good draw. Hopefully we can avoid Djurgardens. Given our luck however, that will be the opponent we will get.

Reports are that Paschalakis is close to signing a 3-year deal with Al Nasr worth 1.8 mil per season.

Iceland beat Cyprus 5:0 and we lost 2nd place in the process. Complete disaster. All we needed one point in the last two games to finish in 2nd place.

It's not Tziolis. It's Tzolis. Two different players although both used to play for PAOK.

Good luck to him. There is no way PAOK could have given him a 2 year contract at 35 years old as he demanded. Looks like we will have a completely new defensive line next season (except for Ingason).

Not sure if this is legit, but found this picture on world wide web:

Nasberg is signed. Boto said it himself. The things is that his contract with the Norwegian team ends on August 31. We are trying to negotiate with his current team to release him earlier. Unless that happens, don't expect an official announcement.

Our first pre-season game is set in stone: 29-June, 19:00 EEST: PAOK - Go Ahead Eagles (SV Terwolde)

Here is the direct link to the game on ViX: https://www.vix.com/es-es/live/transmission-matchid-94144721517501

If you have a VPN you can watch it on Alpha TV. As noted ViX has the game as well in the US. Fairly decent attendance in Volos. 1:0 Bakasetas
