Dutch Eagle

This is the ranking after Q3 of this season for the battle of the positions 11 to 15. I added position 10 to show the distance to the spot that is safer for two participants in CL. 10 Turkey 6.000 6.600 9.700 6.800 1.600 30.700 4/ 5 11 Austria 4.125 3.800 7.375 9.750 1.200 26.250 2/ 5 12 Denmark 2.900 5.500 8.500 5.250 3.500 25.650 3/ 4 13 Netherlands 6.083 5.750 9.100 2.900 1.300 25.133 2/ 5 14 Greece 6.200 5.400 5.800 5.100 1.600 24.100 3/ 5 15 Croatia 6.875 4.500 5.125 5.125 2.125 23.750 1/ 4 16 Czech Republic 3.875 7.300 5.500 5.500 1.500 23.675 4/ 5 17 Switzerland 6.900 5.300 4.300 6.500 0.600 23.600 3/ 5

Pontus = Pontios. Makes sense.

Trencin it is. First game away in Slovakia.

With his Christian name I think Pontus should be called Wernbloomidis in all our official communication and lineups.

A 1-0 loss was enough for Apollon. They progress 4-1 on aggregate. Next game against FC Basel. First leg in PO of EL is a homegame.

APOEL won 3-1 at home after trailing 0-1 and will now face Astana of Kazachstan in PO of EL. First game will be on Cyprus.

AEK trashed Sturm: 5-0. They will now face the winner of Trencin - Feyenoord. I hope Feyenoord, but I’m watching that game and after 35 minutes in the second leg Trencin leads 1-5 on aggregate.

Up two spots in the new ranking that was released today: #42. Our opponents in the Nations League: Hungary #51, Finland #62, Estonia #94.

All games will start 22:00 EEST. That is the new kickoff time for the second matches of the day. First matches 19:55 EEST. And for CL and for EL.

Next game against Benfica on August 21 according to UEFA. No kickoff time yet. Return on August 29. Also no kickoff time yet. Better schedule than AEX who has to play the 22nd and 28th with MD 1 of SL in between.

Yep. Ton Vlachodimos. I’m watching Fener - Benfica on the telly on the background. He is playing rather well.

PAOK ke ta miala sta kangela! Indeed me tin psichi. Prijo will bring us to CL. Having a bad day but progressing is fine with me.

Another huge chance waisted.

Thanx for reminding me of epsilon, Yianko

He couldn’t make it on his 20th birthday and lost 2-6, 6-7. He is the new #15 at today’s release of the ATP-ranking.

The draw: Η κλήρωση έγινε ξεχωριστά για την κάθε μία από τις τέσσερις ζώνες στις οποίες έχουν χωριστεί τα σωματεία με γεωγραφικά κριτήρια.

Petrounias won his fourth consecutive gold medal at the European Championships.

Hatzidiakos just scored the 2-0 in AZ’s first game of the League in The Netherlands.

Our team is already on its way to Moscow. Lucescu has these 21 on the plane: Ρέι , Πασχαλάκης , Γλύκος , Μάτος , Κίτσιου , Βιεϊρίνια , Κρέσπο , Βαρέλα , Χατσερίδης , Μαλεζάς , Σάκχοφ , Μαουρίσιο , Κάνιας , Μπίσεσβαρ , Πέλκας , Ελ Καντουρί , Λημνιός , Ουάρντα , Ζαμπά , Πρίγιοβιτς , Ακπόμ .

Another final for Tsitsipas. He has beaten last years US Open finalist and this years Wimbledon finalist Kevin Anderson with 6-7, 6-4 & 7-6 (9-7). Next opponent will be probably again Rafael Nadal, who plays his semi against Russian Kachanov. Tsitsipas has already won this tournament against 4 opponents of the ATP top 10. Could be 5 in a row.

So. This happened last Thursday in Q3 EL between Sturm Graz and AEK Larnaca. What do you think followed after this: A: The game was abandoned and Sturm Graz lost on paper? B: The game was resumed? C: AEK left the field in anger? D: The assistant-ref was shown a yellow for diving?

Spartak had problems with Anzhi Machatskala. They just won 1-0 thanks to a goal by Ze Luis (assist Promes after a corner they had probably practiced before) in 70’ after Anzhi was left with just 9 players (red cards for Andres Ponce in 49’ and Dmitri Belorukov in 68’).

We have a French referee: 14 August 2018, 19:30 CET - Moscow (Otkrytiye Arena) FC Spartak Moskva (RUS) - PAOK FC (GRE) Referee: Ruddy Buquet (FRA) Assistant Referee 1: Guillaume Debart (FRA) Assistant Referee 2: Julien Pacelli (FRA) Fourth Official: Jérôme Miguelgorry (FRA) UEFA Referee Observer: Oğuz Sarvan (TUR) UEFA Delegate: Oleg Harlamov (EST)

Tsitsipas is semifinalist after beating Zverev 3-6, 7-6 and 6-4!

What is wrong with a game and gathering at Toumba? First some malamatina and pita jiro. Don’t expect they have that on Hawaii.
