Not happy with our performance. If we don't score one more we might pay for it. They are quite dangerous offensively. Taylor our most active player. Akpom just a spectator.

Mitrita 1:0 Beautiful goal.

Starting lineup: ------------- Paschalakis ------------ Taylor - Varela - Michailidis - Sidcley ------ Schwab ---------- Kurtic ------ Murg -------- Augusto ------- Mitrita --------------- Akpom --------------- BENCH: Zivkovic Z., Mihaj, Lyratzis, Tsiggaras, Esiti, Biseswar, Zivkovic A., Koutsias, Swiderski

Tzolis just missed scoring on a penalty kick against Liverpool. Penalty won by the other PAOKtsaki Giannoulis.

Greece has received 4 athlete invitations to compete in the 2022 Winter Olympic Games. Additional athletes can qualify if they meet the qualifying standards, but that is highly unlikely.

The 24th Winter Olympic Games will be held in Beijing, China between February 4 - February 20, 2022

The Superleague 2 groups have been announced, and surprisingly Olympiakos B was placed in the North group and will be our opponent. Next season either AEK B or Panathinaikos B will play in the North Group. The 2 groups are: NORTH GROUP PAOK Thessaloniki 'B' AE Larisa AO Trikala Almopos Aridaias Anagennisi Karditsa Apollon Larisa Apollon Pontou Niki Volos Olympiakos Piraeus 'B' Panserraikos Serres Pierikos Katerini Thesprotos Igoumenitsa Triglia PO (fake Iraklis Thessaloniki) Veroia NFC Xanthi FC SOUTH GROUP AEK Athens 'B' Aigaleo Asteras Vlachiotis Chania Diagoras Rhodos Episkopi Ergotelis Kalamata Kallithea Karaiskakis Arta Kifisia Levadeiakos Olympiakos Volos OF Ierapetra Panathinaikos Athens 'B' There is a possibility that two more teams will be added. The draw is set for September 28. The season starts on October 10. Winners of both groups will play each other for the promotion to Superleague 1. Loser of this game will play Superleague 1 13th place team for the send Superleague 1 spot. Four teams from each group will be relegated.

Surprised Kagawa is not in the squad. There is just no way Biseswar can play 90 minutes and also be ready for Sunday's game against AEX.

And you get a 10 Euro coupon to use at the PAOK eShop.

Looks like Vieirinha's injury is not serious and he might be available for Wednesday's game.

Sidcley was very good today. If it wasn't for Paschalakis's heroics I would have him as MVP. Biseswar was also decent today but it was evident he ran out of steam at the end.

0:1 final Good win. Paschalakis MVP

Vieirinha 1:0

That's a penalty.

I think that should be his role this season. Also he should not be playing full games on consecutive basis.

AEX was winning 3:0, but in the end OFI managed to tie it 3:3 In the other game Atromitos - Panaitolikos 1:2 Earlier Apollon - Volos 1:3

Crespo has suffered a biceps fracture in yesterdays game and will miss approximately 15 days of action.

The Panaitolikos game will not be on Net TV Plus as they belong to COSMOTE. Thankfully for us in the US, Canada and Australia the COSMOTE games are televised by Antenna Satellite/Pacific and Sport Plus although not in HD quality.

The women's national team started the World Cup qualifying campaign with 0:10 defeat to number 5 ranked France in the game played in Patra. Our next game is against Kazakhstan in the same stadium.

Looks like Garry Rodriguez will sign a 3-year deal with Olympiakos as a free agent on the last day of transfer period of free agents.

PAOK home games are also available on the Net TV Plus streaming service together with the other 5 teams controlled by NOVA. The pricing is as follows: You can sign up for a 7 day free trial, which I might do in order to see the Tripoli game on Sunday. Then I will probably be buying the weekly pass when PAOK games are involved. I definitively will not pay 203 Euro for the annual package. Still waiting for PAOK to release information on the season package for PAOK TV.

I think our real opponents are the Czechs. With Turkey we can gain an advantage if Olympiakos does well against Fenerbahce and Pelkas. In our case we will need to do well against Copenhagen in order for Denmark not to pass us in the rankings.

The difference is that after the miss the Turkish fans in the stands started chanting his name to encourage him. In our case our fans turned on the player after the missed penalty against Krasnodar. He was actually criticized by our fans even prior to that. There is a reason why he decided not to extend his contract with PAOK.
