Dutch Eagle

FT 0-1 Bad game, bad ref and Tripoli worldchampion (diving).

Warda yellow.

Ninua, Krmencik and Rodrigo subbed in. Schwab, Swiderski and Varela subbed out. All subs done very early.

Warda and Crespo subbed in. Konstantelias and Mihaj subbed out

And 0-1 for them. Paschalakis almost got it again.

Retake of the penalty. Paschalakis left the line.

Paschalakis saves it.

Penalty Asteras. Foul Schwab. Correct call in my opinion

Good line-up given the "circumstances". Good bench in case. Must keep the unbeaten record in Toumba this season.

Klaus scored today for Apollon Larisa to earn them a 2-2 draw just before FT.

After clinching the title with Omonoia Mavrias announced on social media that he is leaving the club after 2.5 years. It is said that he has reached an agreement with Apollon Lemesos but there is no conformation yet.

Looks like there will be B-teams soon in lower divisions. PAOK is willing to participate and ready it seems. Don't know of I like it or not. There is a lot of administrative things involved with it. Who is allowed to play in the same weekend? Saturday in B and Sunday sub in A? Or not? How to deal with suspensions for one team. What about the other? And we know how Greeks (especially EPO) are able to mess things up. But maybe they will look and learn from Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands to mention some countries that have that system for years. Who knows.

Baba Rahman is invited for the friendlies of Ghana against Morocco (June 8th) and Ivory Coast (June 12th).

He is still at Standard. Even scored today. But he and his team lost 1-2. They still could qualify for European football though as all 4 clubs in the playoff are within 3 points with 3 MD’s to go.

@paokarag4Tasos had just 5 apps and 182 minutes playing time. Probably not good enough. And the team is not good enough. So they had most of the time more defenders in the squad. 0 goals did not help him either. Christos btw is injured at the moment but has 9 apps and 546 min. playing time. And 1 goal.

Scored his 26th today against 020 in the Johan Cruyff Arena but as VVV-Venlo lost and Willem II of Pavlidis won his team is relegated. With one MD to go and a 7 goal lead over Donyell Malen he will be the first in the history to be crowned topscorer of the Eredivisie and to relegate at the same time.

Two goals and one assist today for Vangelis against FC Den Haag. With this result the opponents and VVV-Venlo of Giakoumakis are relegated. Willem II current 15 and safe for the moment but with one MD to play they could drop to #16 and thus promotion/relegation matches to safe their skin.

If COVID-19 does not spoil it again I might see our beloved PAOK overhere in the preseason. Christos Karipidis has travelled to the Netherlands to check out some training facilities. Fingers crossed as I won't go to Greece this summer thanks to that same COVID-19-sh*t.

We need to rotate. Rhythm for those returning from injuries and relax for those who played a lot to get fresh. This was our 51st match this season. And we played 11 games of last season since the restart on June 7th 2020.

Garcia’s mind is at the final. The result is not important. Even playing against Gavro. So Crespo needs playing time in order to be ready on the 22nd.

Crespo in for Michailidis. Konstantelias for Tzolis.

Mihaj coming in for Lyratzis

Thought that too. Had the sound of (was having my diner) so could not hear if there was a VAR-check.

That was a yellow for that foul on Tsiggaras.

Damn. 1-0 for them.
