The players are on vacation. No intentions putting their feet into the fire.

2:0 now.

Poor defending. Paschalakis should have saved it.

Poor defending and goaltending. Result is 1:0 lead for Turkey.

And that's after leading the first set 5-1 only to lose it 7-6

Starting lineup: Πασχαλάκης, Κούτρης, Μαυρίας, Βαλεριάνος, Κουρμπέλης, Σιώπης, Σάμαρης, Πέλκας, Φορτούνης, Μασούρας, Κουλούρης Bench: Βλαχοδήμος, Μπάρκας, Κώτσιρας, Σταφυλίδης, Σιόβας, Μπουχαλάκης, Μπακασέτας, Ντουρμισάι, Κολοβός, Μάνταλος

Step in right direction. The only thing I would like to see is all the teams starting the competition from Round 1.

All three PAOK players (Paschalakis, Pelkas, Koulouris) are starters in the friendly against Turkey, which starts in 5 minutes.

More details about the next Greek Cup competition surfacesd: - first 2 rounds will be played among the winners of the regional Amateur Cups - (47 teams) - Football League teams will enter the competition in Round 3 - (14 teams) - Super League 2 teams will enter the competition in Round 4 - (12 teams) - Super League 1 teams (except those playing European competitions) will enter the competition in Round 5 (Round of 32) - (9 teams) - Super League 1 teams that will play European Competitions will enter the competition in Round 6 (Round of 16) - (5 teams) - Rounds 1-6 will be single game affairs. For Rounds 1-4 the teams playing in a lower division than their opponents will be the home team. For Rounds 5 and 6 the home team will be determined after a draw - Quarterfinals and Semifinals will be home and away two leg games - Final will be a single game in a neutral venue which will be determined after the two finilists are known. EPO reserves right to have the final be played outside of Greece

PAOK's accepted and voted for the new system, as the other options were even worse. As far as I know PAOK was always for a 16-team league without playoffs/outs.

You want Korakaki, here is Korakaki

In other fake news Trabzonspor is going for Oliveira.

He was forced to resign after PAOK and Panaitolikos threatened to take him to courts for defamation after he spewed some nonsense that PAOK has purchased half the teams in Superleague. These days he is just a mouthpiece for Melissanidis and his helpers the Mitropoulos brothers.

Univision Deportes is a channel that is available on cable and satellite systems. However the game is on Univision Deportes en Vivo, which is a streaming channel from Univision Deportes and it requires authentication that you subscribe to Univsion Deportes through cable in order to be able to watch it. I am sure bars in Hispanic population areas will carry either of those channels.

Shakhov was a solid performer for the past 3 seasons, scoring 29 goals during that span. I still prefer Canas over Shakhov, considering we already have a Shakhov style player in Misic on the squad.

Korakaki does not compete for PAOK! Her club is Orion Shooting Club. Having said that, she is a big PAOK fan. Also Savvidis is supporting her financially through sponsorships.

DAZN shows the European qualifiers only in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. As far as I know nobody shows the qualifiers in Canada. In US the Italy game will be on ESPN+ and Univision Deportes en Vivo. The game against Armenia on ESPN3 and Univision Deportes en Vivo In the past RAI International used to carry the Italian NT games, but I don't know if they still do. Another option is to by-pass the regional restrictions with a VPN and stream the game through Open TV. Greek Soccer TV Schedules: https://www.facebook.com/Greeksoccerontv/

Varela signed his contract extension. Stays with PAOK until 2022. New contract is loaded with a lot of bonuses, such as 4K for each game he plays. In other transfer new we were expecting a reply from Canas, but the latest news is that Shakhov is changing his mind. I have a feeling that PAOK will sign only one of them. Personally I prefer Canas, but Lucescu likes Shakhov and I think in the end Shakhov will be the one that stays with PAOK.

You can blame Superleague for that because they don't have the balls to tell the politicians to mind their own business. What business does the government have telling Superleague how many teams should be playing in their own competition?

The 2019-2020 Superleague 1 will kick off on August 24, 2019. It was also decided that there will be playoffs to determine the champion and European sports as well as play-out for deciding relegation. The playoffs will be between teams that will finish in spots 1-6 after the regular season (28 rounds) and will consist of additional 10 rounds of games. The points from the regular season will remain and will be counted in the final standings. The play-out will be between teams 7-14 and it remains to be decided in what form they will take place. Also as far as the Greek Cup is concerned, the preliminary decision is that there will no longer be group stage matches and until the Round of 16 there will be just a single game played. Superleague 1 teams will not enter the competition until the Round of 16. The final will be a single game in a neutral venue.

Looks like the Ahmat Grozny team has become PAOK "B". First Mauricio, then Jaba, now Silva. In other news (fake and otherwise) it appears that there was a clause in the Khacheridi contract that he head to play in at least 70% of the games last season in order for his contract to be automatically extended for the next 2 years. Since he only played in 11 games, he will become history as far as PAOK is concerned, without any compensation.

It would be and if we eliminate them we will become seeded in the QR4 (Playoff Round) as a result.

Exactly. ESPN3 will have the game and it's a legal stream with good quality picture. Also if you have a cable or satellite provider that offers Univision Deportes they will show the game as well.

The Rey loan also includes a 1 year extension to his contract until 2021.

That's good news about Varela. Apparently Vieirinha was instrumental making this to happen.
