And Ozdoyev wished PAOK well.

Sakkari won (to my surprise) 6-3, 6-3 and will face an Uzbek or Ukrainian opponent in R2.

2026 Stefanos Tsitsipas is unseeded and faced Hugo Gaston (France) in R1: 6-1, 6-4, 6-2. In R2 he will meet the winner of the tie between Wi Yu Bing (China) and Novak Djokovic (Serbia and seed #7) Maria Sakkari is unseeded too and meets Clara Tauson (Denmark and seed #24) in R1.

Konstantelias has retired as international player for Greece (for this moment). Are his kids the real reason?

No, @PaokCT. System is: winner advances to EL Q3 with the coefficient of the highest ranked team (our coefficient in this case). Loser advances to CoL Q3 with the coefficient of the lower ranked team. Here it gets more confusing: if we play Dynamo and lose we will take their coefficient of 17.500 and will be seeded as the split seeded/unseeded is 10.875/10.750 at this point. But this is subject to changes as not all seeded teams in Q1 advance as supposed to the seeding system. If we play Universitatea Cluj and lose we will be unseeded as they have a coefficient of 5.050

Don't know him at all. Must give him the benefit of the doubt.

We play the first leg away against Dynamo Kyiv or Universitatea Cluj.

The teams were divided in 2 groups. We are in group 2 and avoided Besiktas, FC Twente and the Scandinavian teams in todays draw (14:00 EEST): Group 2 Seeded teams SL Benfica (POR) PAOK FC (GRE) Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC (ISR) Pafos FC (CYP) Unseeded teams Winners of Pairing 4 FC Sheriff Tiraspol (MDA) - NK Aluminij (SVN) Winners of Pairing 5 FC Dynamo Kyiv (UKR) - FC Universitatea Cluj (ROU) Winners of Pairing 6 HNK Hajduk Split (CRO) - MŠK Žilina (SVK) FC St. Gallen 1879 (SUI)

Congratz to the PAOKtzides from Oz for slaughtering the galopoula! What a nice way to wake up (game ended about 8 AM here and I will watch the highlights rightaway).

What's with that new CEO, Agisilaos Toumazatos?

Toursounidis did not score but his fellow PAOK-tzis Antonis Aretis did. Toursounidis is the nephew of Giorgos btw.

This is funny: https://7a0.com.br/en You can pick your all time World Cup team through a randmeer and it will simulate matches against other (great) teams from the past.

I tried to remember the past World Cups I saw in the early days and PAOK-players that participated. Wikipedia gave me confirmation: Players who belonged at the time of the World Cup to our roster: Magdy Tolba - WC 1990 - Egypt Alexis Alexiou - WC 1994 - Greece Future or past PAOK players at the time of the World Cup: Miroslav Stoch - WC 2010 - Slovakia Sotiris Ninis - WC 2010 - Greece Sverrir Ingason - WC 2018 - Iceland Ibrahim Hossam - WC 1990 - Egypt Hossam Hassan - WC 1990 - Egypt Giotis Tsalouchidis - WC 1994 - Greece Pablo Garcia - WC 2002 - Uruguay There could be more players. Or maybe not. Best is not to think about it and then suddenly a name comes to mind.

There are more players. I remember Prijovic playing for Serbia at the 2018 WC while being a PAOK-player. Glykos was subbed in at the 2014 WC when the first keeper (don't know his name) was injured. He was at PAOK at that time. Swiderski played in the 2022 WC just after he left us for the States. Your friend Christodoulopoulos was for sure. I have to dig in my brain. And maybe the internet. There must be more players. I remember the squad lists in "Voetbal International" mentioning PAOK as the current club. Not only in the Greek National team.
