I think it's about time we ended the 19 years without victory against Iraklis in away league games.

Our friend on the bench during the Arsenal game:

It turns out Lucas is just another useless player. Every team he goes to, he does not last for his entire contract. What a whiner. I would not want him back at PAOK!

4:0 final. Nice easy afternoon in the park.

Warda is our MVP today in my opinion.

4:0 Pelkas. Very nice goal.

Pelkas our last sub. In for Campos.

Like the move by Ivic with Siabanis. I would like him to start him against Schalke.

We already made a sub (Pouggouras for Malezas) and now Siabanis is getting ready to replace Glykos apparently.

Prijovic 3:0 Looks like we found a player for set pieces in Warda.

The stream is excellent so far.

Might do that after the game. Very nice weather in Chicago today (and yesterday). Close to 65 degrees!!! Something unheard of in February.

Apparently they are showing the game, but it's half-time so we won't know until it starts: http://www.aklautoi.live/paok-veroia/ You need to create an account though.

Prijovic 2:0

Penalty for PAOK

Lousy replacement stream: http://www.soccerjumbotv.me/ch-15.html

Yes 1:0

Starting lineup:

I really doubt that it will be televised in the US. The only channel that might be intrested din carrying it would be NBCSN as they sometime show Olympic sports from Europe, but I really doubt that they will. In any case here is a web site that claims that they will be streaming the championships: http://www.eurovisionsports.tv/eaa/

Good points pash and paokarag4. I also believe Ivic should have changed the formation at half time. It probably would have not made that much difference though as Schalke was a much superior team compared to PAOK. I also think Ivic should have kept Mysta and Biseswar in the game. He should have benched one of the 3 CBs to put Henrique in the game. Also Klaus should have been subbed at halftime as well. I would say Mysta was the MVP for us, and I hope that Skibbe keeps his dirty little hands of the player. We don't need the NT corruption at PAOK.

Let's not forget we did not beat Veroia in first round and they need points badly. Go in with guns blazing and get the win. There is really no need to rest anybody for Wednesday since that EL dream just sailed away.
