Blackhawk

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.

I think we locked the 2nd position in the standings with today's win. Now we can concentrate on the cup. Hopefully Vieirinha is ok.

Zivko 2:0

So close Krmencik

Schwab 1:0

And it is after VAR.

Should be a penalty.

Vieirinha out. Should have been a red on Gama for the foul.

Even the foul on Varela was a penalty IMHO.

We have the possession but little to show for it. Couple penalties could have been given. If it goes like that in 2nd half than it looks like a scoreless draw.

Every time we played early (15:00 EEST) this season we either lost or tied. That's another negative series we need to break on Sunday.

Four additional athletes qualified for the Tokyo Olympics. Giorikas Pilidis in wrestling, Panagiotis Gionis in table tennis (his 5th Olympics), and our two start tennis players Maria Sakkari and Stefanos Tsisipas. The following Greek athletes have secured a spot in the Tokyo Olympics so far: Track & Field Miltos Tentoglou (long jump) Katerina Stefanidi (pole vault) Nikol Kyriakopoulou (pole vault) Paraskevi Papachristou (triple jump) Antigoni Drisbioti (20 km Walk) Eleni Polak (pole vault) Swimming Anna Doundounaki (100 m butterfly) Kristian Golomeev (50 m freestyle) Apostolos Christou (100 m backtsroke) Andreas Vazaios (200 m individual medley) Apostolos Papastamos (200m/400m individual Medley) Kostas Egglezakis (800 m Freestyle) 4x100 m Freestyle Relay (men) Sailing Vyronas Kokkalanis (RSX) Giannis Mitakis (Finn) Pavlos Kagialis (470) Panagiotis Mantis (470) Katerina Divari (RSX) Vasilia Karachaliou (Radial) Aimalia Tsoulfa (470) Ariadni Spanaki (470) Rowing Maria Kyridou (Double Skif) Christina Bourbou (Double Skif) Stefanos Douskos (Skif) Shooting Anna Korakaki (10 pistol, 25 m pistol) Nikos Mavromatis (Skeet) Wrestling Maria Prevolaraki (53 kg) Giorikas Pilidis (65 kg) Cycling Polychronis Tzortzakis (road cycling) Christos Volikakis (track cycling) Fencing Dora Goundoura Table Tennis Panagiotis Gionis Tennis Maria Sakkari (women's singles) Stefanos Tsitsipas (mens's singles) Water Polo Greek national team - Men

Win will get us very close to 2nd place and definitively lock the 3rd place which means extra 1 mil euro from NOVA. On top of that we need to stop the negative results against O Aris at home. We win and we can do all kinds of rotation against Olympiakos and Tripoli ahead of the cup final.

Final AEK - PAOK 1:2
