Yes, I watched the Czech game on Czech TV Sport chann (something like ERT Sport) in Greece using VPN while I am visiting my son in Pittsburgh. Krmencik played ok. He hit the post in 1st half. He seemed tired in the second half. Vydra is a common last name in Czech Republic. Our Vydra eventually changed the spelling of his name to Vyntra once he came to Greece.

Zeca our best player tonight. Really lucky to get the point though in a game where we did not create anything. Take this as a gift for the country's anniversary.

Baba Rahman started in South Africa - Ghana (1:1) game. Michailidis, Lyratzis, Tsiggaras and Koutsias played in the Greece - Cyprus U21 (0:0) game. The first three started the game. Koutsias came off the bench in the second half. swiderski is not even on the bench for the Hungary - Poland game. Ingason is a starter in the Germany - Iceland game. Finally Tzolis will start on the bench in the Spain - Greece game.

I expect an easy win for the Spaniards. The Greek lineup does not give me any confidence at all.

No improvement for the U21 national team as the game ended in a 0:0 tie.

Reports are that Vasco de Gama will announce Jaba as soon as they get the necessary paperwork from PAOK. It will be a loan until the end of December of 2021. PAOK will pay most of the wages, while Vasco de Gama will pay his rent. There is a clause that if he does not play specific number of minutes by June he will be returned to PAOK..

You can watch the U21 Euro qualifier against Cyprus on the EPO Youtube channel: Game just started.

Rafael welcome to our forum. I would have to agree with pash concerning Jaba that his career as a competitive football player is over. He came to PAOK as a very promising prospect, and had a very good first season with the team. There were rumors after his first season with PAOK that FC Porto were offering close to 10 million Euro for him (it cost PAOK 4 million to buy him). Not sure if that was true or if that was his manager trying to move him to Portugal. One thing is sure though. He made a trip to Porto and after that he came back he was not the same player. Things got worse after his serious injury in a friendly game. Apparently the knee surgery following his injury did not go well and he struggled with several infections as a result that almost cost him his career. After this ordeal he was just not the same player. He started this season playing in couple pre-season games, but he was completely out of shape, and lacked the speed that he was known for. Then he started his various trips to Brazil where he got engaged and then tried to persuade PAOK to let him be loaned to Atletico Club Goianiense. PAOK worked out a deal with Goianiense but he never signed with them. Now he is trying to sign with Vasco de Gama. I don't know how serious he is about joining them considering his past and how unpredictable he is. Maybe you can shed some light for us on how serious Vasco de Gama is about him. He would be joining his ex teammate Leo Matos there. Matos is highly respected by PAOK fans.

Jaba has now been linked to Vasco de Gama. There he would join Leo Matos.

There rumors/fake news/or actual true news is that the buyout clause for Koutsias is 4 mil Euro, but today I heard a report by one of those "trusty" Thessaloniki sport broadcasters that there is a stipulation in his contract that he has to play a certain number of minutes this season and if he does not than his buyout clause falls to 1.5 mil Euro.

Coming up we have 3 difficult games: at Panathinaikos at AEK (cup) at Tripoli Good scenario would be wins against Panathinaikos and Tripoli to solidify European spot and at least a tie against AEK.

UEFA.TV has the rights for Canada. TLN also has the rights for Portugal, Italy and Spain, but will not be showing the Spain - Greece game. Full TV schedule here: https://www.facebook.com/Greeksoccerontv

Missed the 2nd half in order to get my covid vaccine. Good result in the end. Will have to watch the second half on PAOK TV later.

Instead of going into the end half with 2:0 lead we are tied 1:1

Wtf was that

No way that was a hand ball

2:0 Swid

Good start

Interesting. I would have started Krmencik. I think he will put in Warda in 2nd half when AEK player will be tired. Need to win this.

I saw the game. t was one hell of a game. Not as far as any exceptional display of football, but a game full of energy and passion. Something that PAOK game misses.

Murg was cut from the Austrian squad.
