In the 2015-16 season ticket-thread it says (you): 5K on August 8th. At the end (September 11th) there were 9,103 sold according to our fearless leaders' post. I would say: not bad at all if we are now already at 6K.

FC Sheriff Tiraspol - Hapoel Beer Sheva drew 0:0 today. Hapoel win agg. 3:2. Ovidiu Hoban will miss the first game against Olympiakos for sure as he was sent of today with two yellows.

APOEL - TNS 3:0 Goals Alexandrou, Sotiriou and De Vincenti (pen.). Tomorrow they will know their opponent.

6,000 season tickets are sold up till today. They seem to be happy with that amount given the date and the financial situation of Greece.

It was supposed to be shown today, but apperantly there where some technical problems with the video so they cancelled it. Now they say tomorrow. Real Greek style.

When is the kickoff of the new season? Edit: weekend of August 20/21.

Hahaha. I will give you the honour to start new topics then......

Welcome, Niko! @Tantra: The sandpit is not good for your health.

Hossam Hassan was jailed a couple of days and finally got away with a fine of 500 Egyptian pound (about 51 Euro). http://www.ad.nl/offside/egyptische-legende-weer-op-vrije-voeten-na-slaan-fotograaf~a1b59c3e/

When I looked again. He had the assist on the assist.

Great goals indeed. First assist was from Leo Matos.

The Varela-Sabo deal is almost done. We pay 1 mio to Steaua and Sabo will be loaned to them for one year.

First Matchday will be in the weekend of August 20/21. Matches are: AEK Larnaca - Doxa Katokopia AEL Limassol - Anagennisi Deryneia AEZ Zakakiou - Ethnikos Achnas Anorthosis - APOEL Nicosia Aris Limassol - Karmiotissa Pano Polemidion Nea Salamis - Apollon Limassol Omonoia Nicosia - Ermis Aradippou

Stelios Pozoglou will be loaned to Cypriotic club Karmiotissa (Pano) Polemidion. Don't know that club but they play at the highest level after their promotion last year.

OK. Last season UEFA had this prize money breakdown: http://www.totalsportek.com/money/europa-league-prize-money/ Don't think it know if it really is at the same level the upcoming two years.

Yes and no: For the team ranking the match results in qualifying rounds do not count. From 2009 on qualification for the Champions League and the Europa League is rewarded with a number of points based on the reached qualifying round: http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/calc.html

Traditions are to be broken. Germany never beat Italy before on a major tournament. In Euro 2016 they did. etc. Now it's time to beat a Dutch side for the first time.

Mind your language, son! :nono:

PAOK has a chance, just like in 2010. I think ELLAS75 is right with the 50%/50%. 020 as I prefer to call our next opponents had a lot of players with WC experience just after being runner-up in South-Africa. Now only Milik played EURO 2016. But some kind of way they are tough to beat. PSV Eindhoven had a much stronger squad last year but managed only to beat them for the title in the last match as 020 drew with a team that relegated right after that in the play-outs. It's like Cruyff said about Italians: They can't beat you but you can lose against them. But we would do about 15 million Dutch a favor if we beat them.

In Q3 it is the winner of Rosenborg (NOR)/IFK Norrkoping vs the winner of TNS (WAL)/APOEL (CYP).

In Q3 Apollonas starts with an awaygame against the winner of KR Reykjavik (ISL) vs Grasshoppers (SUI).

If Omonoia proceeds to the next round they will have to deal with the winner of Slovan Bratislava (SVK) vs Jelgava (LVA).

AEK Larnaca meets Spartak Moscow in the next round. Unless the unexpected happens and they are eliminated against Cliftonville. First game will be at home.

Damn. Don't like to see one team being eliminated of my favourite countries. Normally AZ will progress.
