Dutch Eagle

With the Braga - AIK Solna game in extra time we have the following results of the countries from #8 till #17: Belgium: lost Gent and Oostende; Anderlecht and Zulte Waregem GS; Club Bruges seeded EL. Ukraine: Olimpik out; Shaktar and Zorya Luhansk GS; Dinamo Kiev seeded EL; Olexandria not seeded El. Turkey: Galatasaray eliminated already; Besiktas, Istanbul Basaksehir (even if they lose in CL PO) and Konyaspor GS; Fenerbahce seeded EL. Netherlands: PSV out; Feyenoord and Vitesse GS; Ajax seeded EL; Utrecht unseeded. Austria: Sturm Graz lost for the Aussies; Austria Wien and RB Salzburg seeded in EL; Altach unseeded in EL. Czech Republic: Mlada Boleslav and Sparta Prague eliminated; Slavia Prague (even if they lose in CL PO) and Zlin GS; Viktoria Plzen seeded in EL. Switzerland: Sion and Luzern out; Basel, Young Boys (even if they lose in CL PO) and Lugano in GS. Greece: Panionios out; Olympiakos GS (CL or EL whatever the result); PAOK seeded EL, Panathinaikos (unfortunately Braga progressed while writing this post) and AEK unseeded in EL. Croatia: Haven't lost a team yet; Rijeka always in GS after PO CL; Dinamo Zagreb seeded in EL; Hajduk Split and Osijek unseeded. Denmark: Brøndby and Lingby out; Copenhagen GS no matter what happens); Midjylland seeded in EL. Not too bad if you ask me. Hope the draw for our EL teams is not to heavy.

Just home in Chalkidiki. Not a great game. Should have put in 4 or 5 today. Biseswar by far MVP of the match. When he was subbed off we looked like 11 separate Ltd. instead of a team. So I agree with Yiankos. O Priojovic perdepse ta podia tou simera. Luckily Donetsk was not a good team. We need to improve to reach GS.

2-0. What a shot

I'm in. Great atmosphere

Natcho scored the only goal in the game for CSKA against AEK in Q3 of the CL.

Sotiriou joined Copenhagen and managed to continue making progress. Already scored two goals in three league matches. And yesterday he scored his first European goal for his new club in Q3 of CL against FK Vardar.

Great result!

1-0 Carlao !!

Krima. 1-2 in the dying seconds. And for the coefficient and for being eliminated with a defeat now. Saw on another site that the penalty given to Austria wasn't a penalty (foul outside the box and therefore the crowd got overexcited and the game was interrupted) but the red card was correctly given.

7,600 tickets after today. Therefore 750 sold today. Didn't surprise me as I saw a lot of people coming for season tickets and tickets for the Olimpik-game when I went to Toumba today.

The European week starts good with Swiss Sion being eliminated by Sudava of Lithuania. Sudava now managed to eliminate three teams in Q1, Q2 and Q3 with a higher coefficient than them (only 1,825). Every seeded club probably will want to draw them in PO. But I agree with the sheriff. We need to collect points ourselves.

AEL 1-1 in '60 with Aldair. They just need one more goal.

Just saw it of Hagi. Isn't he the owner/founder of the club? So could this be a puppet? Been I saw in the Greek media. When I return from my vacation I will see him again. He lives in my neighbourhood and I see him when he walks his dog.

Red card Marco Airosa of AEL. After that the game got interupted (don't know why) and now Austria scored with a penalty just for halftime. Will be difficult to progress for AEL.

Yeah, bought our tickets for tomorrow's game against Olimpik Donetsk today at the stadium. We'll be in gate 5. Especially for Pash I will wear something black and white. My wife and three kids too. So he can recognize us easily in the crowd

The calf was born in Kerrville, Texas and named after Gene Simmons. The latter says he is proud with the resemblance.

Another friendly was announced today: August 8th, 19:00 EEST against PAS Giannina. No fans allowed in Toumba. Looks like they want to simulate the situation of the first 7 matches on national level. It is just one day before the other arranged friendly against Lamia. That game (kickoff 20:00 EEST) will also be played without a crowd.....

+680 season tickets today to make it 6,850

Pash, Dude, you have to take action. The SL is from now on the Super League Souroti! http://inpaok.com/371258/τα-νέα-λογότυπα-της-super-league-pics/ Super League Malamatina or Mythos would have make sense, but Souroti? Are they serious?

Dorian Lévêque will miss this game due to injury.

Midfielder Sékou Junior Sanogo, a player from Ivory Coast playing at Young Boys in Switzerland as at our radar. He is 28 and Michel saw him playing against Dinamo Kiev the night before our game in Kiev against Olimpik.

Lamprou moved to Ajax as a free agent. He signed for one year as third/substitute keeper behind Onana and Van Leer.

Olimpik Donetsk - Veres Rivne 0-0. League position: #6 of 12 (3 matches - 5 points). Olimpik has not conceeded a goal yet in this years league season.

ML, I did not know them either before they were in the preliminary squad, but both their mothers are Greek. Lea Tzimoulis is the mother of August. Samia Konstantinidou is the mother of Dorsey. And well, you know how Greeks are. Even if you are 1% Greek and 99% something else you are Greek. A passport is ready in an eyeblink.

Of course Greece will participate. Greece is in group A that plays in Helsinki. Opponents are Poland, France, Finland, Slovenia and Iceland. 4 teams advance to the knockout stage in Turkey. The preliminary 16-man squad selected by coach Kostas Missas: Yiannis Bourousis, Kostas Papanikolaou, Kostas Sloukas, Giorgos Printezis, Nick Calathes, Vangelis Mantzaris, Yiannis Antetokounbo, Thanasis Antetokounbo, Dimitris Agravanis, Zach August, Kostas Mitoglou, Tyler Dorsey, Giorgos Papagiannis, Yiannis Papapetrou, Nikos Pappas, Giorgos Bogris. 4 of them won't make the cut.
