I agree. If we could get PAOK TV on every platform available in the rest of the world it would be great, but let's face it as Athens4 points out who would want to get involved with a corrupted product such as Greek soccer in general and Superleague in particular. To show you how bad things are, here in the US, the Turkish Superliaga has a TV contract with beIn Sports and their games are televised live on their platform and the whole country can see the games. The Greek Superleague on the other hand has to rely on couple stations directed at omogenia and sub-standard product quality (no HD/expensive subscriptions, etc).

Why? They already cover the rest of the world with PAOK TV. Now, if they could manage and add PAOK TV to Amazon Prime, that would be something.

Probably won't be a PAOK player by that time.

Tzolis's mind is already on his next team. Would not be surprised if he was already sold and we are waiting only for the announcements. We will see a completely different game in the cup final.

We have not created a single chance in 2nd half. Aris tied Panathinaikos so 2nd place is mathematically secured. Even bigger rotation on Sunday.

Garcia takes our best player out (Michailidis) to put in Crespo. Also Konstantelias in for Tzolis

Swid, Zivko in Krmencik, Warda out

Mihaj in for Lyratzis to start the 2nd half.

Also one of the worst refereeing I have seen lately. After seeing the highlights during halftime, the goal by Olympiakos started with a foul on Warda.

We could have scored couple goals with Krmencik and Tzolis, but we also could be losing 3:0 now. Good beginning, but we gave them too much space after the first 20 minutes. the injury to Papastathopoulos actually helped Olympiakos to take control of the game.

81% possession for Olympiakos in the last 20 minutes. And now a post hit by Olympiakos.

After the first 20 minutes we let them have possession and we paid for it.

1:0 Olympiakos

It would appear so. I am surprised it lasted this long.

Big chance with Krmencik.

ACTUAL LINEUP:

Kick-off time has been set by EPO for the season's Greek Cup final. Saturday, May 22, 2021, 21:00 EEST

I think the rotation will spread out among the two games. Like paokarag4 notes he will not throw in players such as Ingason and Vierinha into the games, but I also expect to see some players that are back from injuries (El Kaddouri, Crespo, Kagawa) to get some playing time to get back into game rhythm and be ready for the final. Most likely that will happen in the Tripoli game. With that in mind my lineup for tomorrow: --------------- Paschalakis -------------- ----- Mihaj ---- Varela ---- Michailidis --- Lyratzis ---------------------------- Baba ---------------- Douglas ----------------- Murg ---------- Warda ----------- Tzolis -------------- Krmencik -----------------

Schwab will miss the game due to yellow card accumulation.

Larisa is the team that will be relegated from Superleague1 . Panaitolikos will play in the promotion/relegation playoffs against the 2nd place team from Superleague 2. Speaking of Superleague 2, our "B" team is in first place with 2 games left in the playoffs. Levadeiakos is in 2nd place.

Crespo and Kagawa are taking part in team's practices. They'll probably get some playing time in the last two games. Ingason is fit to play, but probably will be rested until the cup final

Yet another title for PAOK. PAOK's Women's Handball team won the Greek Cup defeating Veroia 26:24 in the final. It's the 3rd year in a row that PAOK wins the Greek Cup.

We are fine with FFP and with the 7.5 mil coming from Giannoulis transfer we are sitting pretty. As for 2nd place all we need is 1 win against either Olympiakos or Tripoli or Aris tying one game.
