Dutch Eagle

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.

AZ Alkmaar - PAS if PAS advances (which is 99% sure).

Ajax-PAOK it is (again).

Oly will face the winner of Hapoel Beer Sheva against FC Sheriff Tiraspol. First game in Karaiskaki unless UEFA revers it somehowe.

PAS will be in de drawing pot with the unseeded and will face one of the next clubs: AZ Alkmaar (NED) Krasnodar (RUS) Partizan (SRB) or Zaglebie Lubin (POL) Sassuolo (ITA) Rio Ave (POR) Omonoia (CYP) or Beitar (ISR)

The third qualifying round draw is streamed live from Nyon at 12:00CEST on Friday (tomorrow) at uefa.com

1 minute left and AEK 2-3 up. Goals Trickovski, Charalambous and Tomas. Good result if they keep it till the final whistle.

FT 3:0 Bravo PAS! Goals Michail and Acosta (2)

some pics of my twins with some players

Kace did not play well at the EURO. Got a yellow after 25 seconds. Will be difficult to sell him for a proper amount. Mak will be sold for the fee we want. We have one month and a half till the transferwindow closes.

AEK Larnaca trailing 1-0. Goal McGuinness.
