Blackhawk

Not bad for Tudor. He signed with Gala for 1.2 mil per season. At PAOK he was getting around 300K.

I remember in 2006 on the first day of the first GS tourney, the goalie for the Phalanx did not show up and Red Devil was scrambling to find a goalie for their game against our Greeksoccer.com team. At the end I ended up being their goalie for that game. Maybe that's why Greeksoccer defeated Phalanx in that game.

I would not be surprised at all to see Ivic go with a 3-5-2 formation. Something like this: ----------------------- Glykos ------------------------ ----- Varela ------- Malezas ------- Crespo ----- Matos - Cimirot - Shakhov - Charisis - Leovac ----------- Mystakidis ----- Henrique ------------- Apparently Pelkas has returned to practices and is available.

Two players that we will definitively miss in the two games against the Germans are Canas and Kace. Not sure if Charisis will be able to replace those two. Ivic will have to be creative on Thursday.

They were great. Some very good memories from these tournaments. Met quite a few out of town GS/Phantis members during those tournaments.

Reflecting back, I think Yannis used GS (including the forums and the soccer tournament) as a vehicle to get the Olympiakos Academy going. Once he accomplished that, he did not need GS to persuade Olympiakos to invest into the academy in Chicago. In the end Yannis did not have the time or the patience to deal with the issues at GS.com.Once he gave up on being involved it was the beginning of the end because he let people running the site that should not have any business doing so.

Saw Schalke against Berlin over the weekend. We will need a lot of luck and very good defensive game to get a result against them.

1 game. it wasn't a straight red.

Good game by PAOK. We controlled the game and Xanthi hardly managed any shots on goal. And we started the game with 7 different players from the previous game against them. the only difference was that we did not score. There is no excuse for Klaus not scoring on the chance he had.

I watched the game and I saw them against Bayern (1:1) as well. They played very well in both games.

Not as toxic as in 2003 when Greeksoccer was under the Phantis umbrella, which led to the split. The same people that caused all the problems then were also behind the problems at GS which eventually led to the demise of Greeksoccer in 2015. The problem was that the owner of the site after accomplishing his dream (Olympiakos Academy in Chicago) basically gave up on GS and let the inmates run the asylum which led to turmoil. At the end Yannis just decided to close the whole thing down. Few did come over. Some were members of Phantis from the past. The majority of the Olympiakos fans led by people that ruined both GS/Phantis in 2003 and GS in 2015 just started their own forum. Some of them wouldn't be welcomed here anyway. I am sure that there are some good posters that are not aware of Phantis, and hopefully they will somehow find their way here.

My lineup for Sunday: ------------------ Glykos ----------------- Kitsiou -- Valera - Crespo - Leovac -------- Cimirot ------- Kace ----------- Mystakidis - Shakhov - Deligiannidis ---------------- Klaus ----------------------- Would not be surprised to see Brkic in goal. Malezas, Prijovic and possibly Warda to be subbed during the game.

I don't think Biseswar is injured. He might sit this one out in order to be rested for the Schalke game.

Mystakidis goal:

The web site as a forum has closed down in spring of 2015. The owner of the site decided to close it for his own reasons. Truthfully I am surprised he has not closed much earlier, since was devoting all his time to the Olympiakos Youth Academy in Chicago. My belief is that he was running the GS forums all this years with a main goal and dream to start the Olympiakos Academy, which he eventually accomplished back in 2013.

No organized fans. There will still be individual fans that will go to the game. Either way 90% of Xanthiotes are PAOK fans.

Final. 2:1 win. Good result. Hopefully the injury to Canas is not serious. Back again at the same stadium on Sunday.

Prijevic just missed a big chance and then Mysta hits a double post.

Kitsiou in for Biseswar to complete all our subs.

That was a yellow, but the first one was not.
