Good win. Should have no problem advancing.

Zivko 2:1

Thank god.

Another defensive lapse and 2:1 Hearts.

If we can improve our play in 2nd half we will win today. Their defense is not that good.

Unbelievable saves by Kotarski.

Tentoglou world champion in long jump with 8.52 meters on his last jump. Going into the sixth and last jump Tentoglou and Pinnock both jumped 8.50, but the Jamaican was leading since he had a better second jump. Tentoglou took care of that with his sixth jump and taking home the gold medal.

Schwab 1:1

And a penalty for us now.

1:0 No way that was a penalty.

Remember Amr Warda? Well he signed a new contract with Casablanca from Morocco earlier this month, but only 13 days later he was kicked out of the team for not showing up at practices and checking himself into a hospital without informing the team.

Drisbioti got the bronze medal, which is a great accomplishment. What a fighter at almost 40-years old. Emmanoulidou disappointed me in the semis. I really expected she would run better than what she did in qualifiers. Her time was 23.15. Great start by Tentoglou jumping 8.50 meters on his first jump. Three Jamaicans follow him after 1st jumps.

Except for Tentoglou (who barely qualified with his last jump) and Emmanoulidou it was another disappointing day for Greek athletes in Budapest. Karalis failed to clear 5.35 m and was eliminated. Tzengo did not even come close to the 60 meter mark and is out as well. Same for Skarvelli. She needed to throw over 72 meter to have a chance for the final. Emmanoulidou will need to have the race of her life to have a respectable placing in the semifinals. With the 23.00 she ran in qualifying, she will finish last in her heat. Tentoglou on the other hand is our only chance for a medal. I think he will get one, but it will be tough to get the gold.

Apparently we are close getting midfielder Soualiho Meite on loan from Benfica. As for Narey at the start of training in Holland this summer he has asked for a raise in his salary. PAOK turned him down. Ever since he has not performed to last season levels. I am not surprised PAOK is willing to accept the offers from Saudi Arabia, but I would hope they would ask for more than 2 mil.

They rejected it outright. It's all part of the anti-Russian hysteria. Since UEFA has not banned Russian players from its competitions, it should make sure that those players are able to play. If for political reasons that's not possible, than Hearts should play their home game in a neutral venue, where that player can travel.

I am 100% sure that Ozdoev will not be allowed to enter Scotland, and we can't rely on the anti-Russian Greek government to help out.

Nice goal
