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.

AEX even extended the deadline twice because of low sales.

Yianko, OFI had a great team in those days. Even eliminated Atletico Madrid in UEFA Cup.

Shouldn't you be working instead of watching soccer games? ⚽⚽⚽ I don't think the Monday games are considered profitable by Superleague and the TV channels. I think Superleague has the final word on the scheduling. I have not seen any of the ERT games so far this season. How is the production and picture quality?

Not sure about Canada, but in the US it will be on ESPN3. In Australia on Optus Sport. In Greece the game will be on Espilon TV. They have a web stream as well, which will have regional restrictions placed on it, but with a VPN that should not be a problem. https://www.facebook.com/Greeksoccerontv/

True but they would have come from a cup competition. The other aspect could be taken care off by limiting the CL competition strictly to league winners, just like it used to be. However that is impossible to do these days. BTW as PAOK out best European showing was in the Cup Winners Cup back in 1973-74.

I agree that he was just an average player.

If the kid still posts things on Instagram about 40K stadium, that means that we are nowhere near building the damn thing. The final plans (and capacity) should have already been set in stone and the only thing we should be doing is forcing the government to issue the permits to start the construction now that we got them by the balls.
