Dutch Eagle

Masoud Shojaei and Ehsan Hajsafi will pay for their presence at the homegame against Maccabi. They are expelled from the Iranian national team.

Ya sou, Kilkistan! From the city/capital or from one of the choria around it (like my father)? Östersund is some 500 to 600 km from Stockholm. So you need a lot to drive and at least a day off as the game is Thursday night. Saw the tickets are 400 kroner (= about 41 euro's) and thats for Greeks very expensive. Don't know how that is for you in Sweden. In The Netherlands it is a fair price for an European game.

Greece remained on #38 on the ranking released today by FIFA. Next release September 14th.

Not before this Eurobasket, Molon. August 18 and 19 we will play two friendlies against Great Britain (again) in London. August 23-25 we will face Italy, Serbia and Georgia in the Acropolis tournament in Athens. After that the squad heads for Finland.

Today we beated Great Britain 92-64 in the final of the tournament in Patras. Antetokounbo was injured and did not play. Next friendlies will be against Montenegro and Serbia on August 11 and 12.

FT. And the score remained 1-1.

'87 post Prijovic.

Second ball on the post/crossbar for PAS. And right after that HT, 1-1 the score.

Friday August 11th at 12:00 EEST the draw for the first and second rounds/phases of this seasons Greek cup will be held at the offices of EPO.

The PAS game restarted now after a break to drink something

Tomorrow the PAOK - Lamia-game will be available for free on PAOK TV outside Greece!!!! in Greece it will be on broadcasted on Cosmote TV.

Nikolia 1-1 for PAS.

I'm positive about the VAR. Only thing is that the fans should be informed better about what is going on. Rugby has a lot of experience with the VAR. There the main ref decides what happens and he explains what he is doing and what his dicision will be if this or that observation is made

Selected for the game against Lamia are only Greek players and Kace who is living already 100 years in Greece: Σιαμπάνη , Μελίσσα , Κωνσταντινίδη , Πούγγουρα , Κάτσε , Λημνιός , Πέλκα , Αθανασιάδη , Κουλούρη , Δημητριάδη , Δημητρίου , Χατζηδίμπα, Τζοβάρα, Τσαούση και Γκαργκαλατζίδη.

Biseswar is injured. Again. Leovac is unjured too. Both will miss the friendlies of today and tomorrow.

First friendly yesterday as warmup for the Eurobasket: Greece trashed Roumania with 106-48. Topscorer Papanikolaou with 17 points.

Why not, Niko?! But it's not necesarry to beat them. First four advance. But it would be wise not to end as fourth in the group as you have to face #1 from another group.

Jairo is going on loan to Moldovian side Sheriff Tiraspol (and not to Partizan).

Last year everything was included. And the year before that.

Looks like Crespo got some injury. He is out for the friendlies.

I think the board / coaches did good to sign Paschalakis. Every sub costs money but it can make the difference. Like in The Netherlands last year. Feyenoord had a strong back-up-keeper and when the first keeper got injured just before the start of the season he took his place in the goal. At the end Feyenoord won the title. Thanks to his some of his saves.

She is the first Greek woman that is European, World and Olympic Champion at the same time. Kostas Kenteris was the only Greek male to achieve this.

GIF Sundsvall - Östersund 1-1 (goal Darijan Bojanic). Östersund now have 28 points in 18 games. They dropped at #6 with 16 teams in the Allsvenskan. They could even drop another place if IFK Norrköping wins their 18th game this season tomorrow.

Cañas is injured (hence his substition against Olimpik). He is expected to have recovered when we play the Swedes at home.
