Dutch Eagle

After playing for AEK and Atromitos “the builder” ends up in ......... Cyprus, as @Tzatziki expected 5 years ago. He signed a one-year contract.

Vyntra joined Lamia in the summer of 2019 for one year. In the summer of 2020 his contract was renewed for another year. This season he had the honour of celebrating his 40th birthday as an active player at the first tier. Not known yet if his contract will be extended again for another year

Katidis is without a club since July 1st, 2019. Will there be a club for this only 28-year old player or are his football-days over?

Koulouris was released by Toulouse and signed a two-year contract with his former club Atromitos. Did not play very much after a good start. Even in the second tier of France, as Toulouse was relegated in his first season.

He is back in Greece. Gentsoglou signed a two-year contract with Lamia.

And for free!

His journey continued and brought him to Voluntari (Romania), Larisa and Xanthi.

Kone has retired and is as of December 2020 technical director at AEK.

Tzavellas is back in Greece and joins AEK.

Douglas Augusto might not be available for the first European qualifiers. He will represent Brazil at the Olympics as one of the three >23 years. I hope Brazil will be eliminated as quick as possible.

Group 7 PAOK (GRE, 2) vs Agarista CSF Anenii Noi (MDA, 4) Vålerenga (NOR, 1) vs Mitrovica (KOS, 3) Good draw for PAOK as the Norwegians have a coefficient of 9.800 and PAOK 7.000. In another group the #1 and #2 seeds were drawn together. Good luck!

The women will know their fate for the new CL as the draw is tomorrow. In the champions path 11 groups will be formed for a mini tournament with two seeded and two unseeded team. PAOK is seeded. First match (semifinal) is at home as the team with the highest coefficient plays at home (August 18). Second game (final or third-place match, but why on earth do they play that third-place match anyway?) the team with the highest plays at home. 11 winners advance to round 2 with the other three teams that start in that round. The seven winners of that two-legged pairing advance to the GS. Lets see where the girls stand. 18 clubs have a better coefficient than PAOK in round 1. And 2 teams in round 2, if ..........

The venues of the friendlies against Charleroi and Heracles are not mentioned. I will take a look at the websites of the clubs if they mention anything. What is mentioned is that the two games are without fans. Edit 1: nothing mentioned on the websites of both teams. What I did saw is that Charleroi starts the Belgian leagueseason the 24th of July so they will be a good/ready opponent when we play them. Edit 2: Heracles is the club of Orestis Kioumourtzoglou.

Panagiotis Tzimas of Asteras Tripolis is close to sign for us. He is 20 years old, plays as a midfielder and is youth international for Greece.

Very disapointing. But he is still young. And won't lose points on the ranking. Match of Sakkeri is postponed to tomorrow due to the tons of rain today.

Looks like a done deal but not confirmed yet by one of the clubs or Pavlidis.

Happened in the pre-season friendly against Wolfsberger AC last Saturday. It takes normally 6 to 9 months to recover from this kind of injury. So as Jimmy says at least till (January) 2022.

Yep. Other rumors (or fake news according to our fearless leader): Kagawa back to Japan....

Thought I had posted this earlier but apparently I did not. Luck not at Omonoia's side. Probably against Dinamo Zagreb, otherwise it will be Valur. First leg away. Second in Lefkosia.

Fortounis won't be available the next months. He tore his ACL for the second time.

Alexandros Gargalatzidis will join Lithuanian side Suduva on a loan-base till the end of the season. As they have summer Championships in Lithuania this means he will return somewhere in November to OFI.

Our U19 was trailing 0-2 and 2-3 against Panathinaikos but managed to equalize with a penalty in 90+1. The unbeaten streak of 84 games continues!!

After 2020 without Wimbledon the grass GS is back. Tsitsipas, seeded #3, meets Frances Tiafoe of the USA in the first round. Sakkari, seeded #15, meets Arantxa Rus of te Netherlands in round 1.

Yeahhh. De Kuip is just 9 km from my home. Intend to go. And I will be staying one day at the hotel PAOK stays.

Indeed, Blackhawk! Yianko, if you read this, just say hi and that you are OK.
