You're talking small potatoes here. The case was being postponed at every court appearance using various excuses, which is a normal thing in judicial Greece. The verdict against the guy will probably come down 5 years from now. Here you have people that tried to smuggle two tons of heroin into the country and nobody is blinking an eye.

You guys have to realize that at least 80% of Greeks in the Chicago area originate from Tripoli, and specifically from one village.

Could be an old member of Greeksoccer forums, who is an Asteras Tripoli fan and AEK fan at the same time. Although I doubt it's him. I don't picture him at a Farmer's Market.

Basically they are moving the benches underground, but the coaches will still be on the sidelines yelling at the players most importantly the refs. Also Gate 2 gets an increase in seats, while gate 8 (visitor's gate in European games) gets a reduction.

20,750 Euro was the fine for the flare thrown by an unknown person in the game from inside the stadium (not the stands).

OFI and Larisa games this weekend are on Sport Plus, which only leaves PAS Giannina as the only unknown. We'll find out next round where they fall as they finally will play a home game. From what it appears it looks like Antenna Sat/Pac has home games of AEK and Panionios and Sport Plus the rest of the non-ERT teams.

We have not lost to an English team in Europe yet. Hopefully with a little luck this streak will continue. Also somewhere I read that Akpom in 3 games against Chelsea he scored in each of those games.

The two most important games coming up are the OFI and AEK. They are both must win. The Chelsea game on paper is a lost cause. It will not be a disaster if we lose that game. Against OFI the players that are in best form need to start and finish the game early. After that they have 5 days to recuperate. After the Chelsea game there is no time for rest. I would even start 2nd stringers against Chelsea to rest our main players for AEK. My lineup for OFI: ----------------- Paschalakis ---------------- Matos - Varela - Crespo - Vieirinha ------ Mauricio -------- Werbloom ----- Jaba ----------- Biseswar ------- Warda ---------------------- Akpom -------------------

He will most likely miss AEK as well. That's what happens when you don't have proper pre-season training.

In Greece nothing is 100% sure.

Early reports suggest that the capacity of new Toumba will be 35,600

I also did not like in long distance races where the last athlete after each round was eliminated.

Lmnios score the first goal in the U21 game against the Czech Republic in the 2:1 win for Greece. Here is the goal:

Reports are that Lucescu is also thinking of using Tosca. If he is in shape I hope he does, because Vierinha did not look like he could play consecutive Saturday/Thursday/Sunday games. Lucescu will need to utilize most of his players, because this will be a tough week, with Chelsea game on Thursday and then the very important game with AEK on Sunday.

I watched the game and the thing with Fourtunis not passing to Pelkas struck me too. The most evident was at the end of the game when he did not pass to Pelkas who was wide open and instead tried to beat the goalie which he didn't. I am certain Pelkas was not getting service because of his anti-PAOK complex. I don't know why Tziolis is still on the NT, but I have to admit, when he came into the game he was much better that Bouchalakis. Also players such as Lykogiannis and Kourbelis have no business being on the NT.

The new stadium will be ready 2 years after Toumba is demolished. It looks like the demolition will start at the end of the season and possibly even in mid-season.

That's in the US only. It costs $ 4.99/month., but you can get a 1 week free trial. Too bad is't not on ESPN3, which is free. You can always by-pass the regional restrictions by using a VPN and watch it on Epsilon TV. In Australia it's on Optus Sports.

I watched the competition on TV this past weekend. This must be the dumbest competition the IAAF has come up with. Competition where an athlete with the best performence does not necessarily win.

Today's U21 National team game against Czech Republic is available for viewers in the US on B/R Live.

ESR has announced the 5 national TV license winners. They have until September 20, 2018 to pay the first installment (3.5 million Euro) for the cost of the license. The licenses have been awarded to: Alpha TV ANT1 TV Epsilon TV Skai TV Star TV

At the end of September the 5 national TV licenses will be officially awarded to the bid winner. As a result the license of MEGA TV which is in bankruptcy will be taken away and the station will have to leave the air. It will be interesting to see what will happen with MEGA Cosmos, the international channel of MEGA which is available in US, Canada and Australia.

Soundview Broadcasting LLC has acquired the distribution rights for ERT World and five ERT radio stations. The company also distributes MEGA Cosmos, Alpha Sat and Star. I expect ERT World to end up back on Dishnetwork sooner than later.

Wonder how much they are paying him.

Well let's just hope the upcoming Aris - PAOK ganme is not on a Monday. Would like to enjoy the drama on the big screen.
