Dutch Eagle

First time Orestis Kiomourtzoglou is fielded for Heracles Almelo in MD 2 of the Dutch Eredivisie. He is a starter and with seven minutes to go he is still on the pitch (with a yellow card) and leading 0-1 away at Lazaros Lamprou’s former club Fortuna Sittard.

The 21 that will travel to The Netherlands: Πασχαλάκης, Ζίβκοβιτς, Μελίσσας, Μάτος, Γιαννούλης, Ροντρίγκο, Βαρέλα , Κρέσπο, Ίνγκασον, Ντόουγκλας, Μίσιτς, Εσίτι, Ελ Καντουρί, Πέλκας, Μπίσεσβαρ, Ζαμπά, Λημνιός, Άκπομ, Σφιντέρσκι, Γαϊτανίδης, Στοχ . This means that Kace and Mihaj (besides the injured players) are cut.

And Pedro Henrique scored in his debut for Kayserispor in the friendly against Adana Demirspor. He scored the 1-1 in 92’ after being subbed in at 46’.

The women won’t make it to the next stage as Anderlecht won their second game and PAOK can only equal in points but as PAOK lost 0-5 to Anderlecht the head to head is in favor of the Belgians. PAOK is playing Linfield at this moment and it is 2-2 with 20 minutes to play.

I may be oldfashioned but In liked the old Europa cup, cupwinnerscup and UEFA cup. Just one champion, one cupwinner and one to four teams in the UEFA cup according to the coefficients. And only knock out games. Some ties in the qualification at this moment are what football is really about. I don't like the current system with this GS and only six, I repeat six (!!!!!!) spots to earn for the other 45 members of UEFA. I barely watch games. And the future format is worse. I refuse to watch this money-league for these happy few.

No Bise no party. I think it equals suicide if he puts Diego on the bench. Bise may not be the fasted but he is our brain and "control tower".

Πραγματοποιήθηκε το πρωί της Παρασκευής (9/8) στα γραφεία της ΕΠΟ η κλήρωση της α’ φάσης του Κυπέλλου Ελλάδας με τη συμμετοχή μόνο ερασιτεχνικών ομάδων.

And of course the manager (Paolo Tramezzani) was sacked. Thomas Doll (he was one of the candidates for EPO) is appointed as new manager.

Great result indeed! Even if Austria scores a goal on Cyprus there is no need to worry and get nervous. The Austians have to attack and Apollon can play the counter.

Great stadium just by the sea. Would be great if we get our new one like this at Leoforos Nikis close to the Leuko Pirgo, wouldn’t it?

Markovic with a penalty: 0-1!

Considering the opponent a good result but not enough to get in the play-off of EL. Too bad BAS (the Belgian CAS) decided that KV Mechelen (or Malin as it is better known in Greece and probably Cyprus too) could stay in the first tier but was not allowed to play European football, as a punishment for matchfixing. Gent, the highest ranked club that did not qualify for Europe, and with a coefficient of 29.500 a big shot in EL, got the berth instead.

FT 0-2. Goals Mantalos and Livaja. Good for the Greek coefficient.

At the end hammered with 5-0. Did not expected this. Thought that the Norwegian ladies were the ones to battle with for the progress to the next round.

Indeed. APOEL must score at least twice in Azerbaijan. Very difficult job.

For me Varela was. Did not pass a ball to another PAOKtzi. And tragic with the second goal. Should have bent backwards and shoot skyhigh instead of low at the ground. That is lesson one as a defender. I'm disappointed. Two cheap goals was the only way to score for them.

Pumped Alania! Going to watch it at the Sindesmo here in Ko.

UEFA decided that Craiova must play three games without fans and gave them a fine of 60K. Craiova asked UEFA to serve this ban after the AEK-game as they already sold tickets for this game.

Tsitsipas made it to the semi in Washington (and lost to Nick Kyrgios) and was rewarded with #5 at the ATP ranking that was released today.

20/21 and 27/28 Aug. for the CL. 22 and 29 Aug. for the EL.

Our squad for tomorrow: Πασχαλάκης, Ζίβκοβιτς, Μάτος, Ροντρίγκο, Γιαννούλης, Κρέσπο, Βαρέλα, Ίνγκασον, Εσίτι, Αουγκούστο, Μίσιτς, Ελ Καντουρί, Πέλκας, Λημνιός, Μπίσεσβαρ, Ζαμπά, Γαϊτανίδης, Στοχ, Άκπομ, Σφιντέρσκι Skise tous, PAOKARA MOU! Varethika na me kanoun plaka oi filoi kai sinadelfi mou.

Slovan Bratislava or Dundalk in EL if we lose. First away; second leg in Toumba.

SOLD OUT !!

If we win against that Dutch side we will face the winner of APOEL vs Qarabag. First match away. Second in Toumba.
