Dutch Eagle

Save Kotarski in the first minute.

AEX dropped 2 points at home against Lamia and only avoided defeat by scoring in '87. Atromitos, our opponent in MD 3, saw two players been sent of with a red card today. So again a team with suspended players in the game against us.

Squad without Brandon (injured) and without Koulierakis (for the obvious reason). Vieirinha not included (surprise): Κοτάρσκι, Τσιφτσής, Σάστρε , Όττο , Κεντζιόρα , Μιχαηλίδης , Νάσμπεργκ , Μπάμπα , Ράφα Σοάρες , Θυμιάνης , Καμαρά , Σβαμπ , Οζντόεφ , Μουργκ , Κωνσταντέλιας , Τάισον , Τισουντάλι, Σορετίρε, Α.Ζίβκοβιτς , Ντεσπόντοφ , Τσάλοφ .

Start worrying!

Checked it. It is a max of 2 teams of the same association. As we tend to play same teams over and over again we will draw most likely 75% of AZ and 020 (NL), Tottenham (ENG), Eintracht (D), Midtjylland (DK), Fenerbahçe (TR), APOEL (CYP), Maccabi Tel Aviv (ISR), Qarabag (AZB), Olympique Lyonnais (F) and Malmö FF (S).

EL League Stage should be safe after today's 4-0. Draw is August 30th. 8 matches starting September 25/26 and the 8th match will be played January 30th 2025. We will 99,99% be in pot 2. To determine the eight different opponents, the teams will initially be ranked in four seeding pots. Each team will then be drawn to play two opponents from each of these pots, playing one match against a team from each pot at home, and one away. I don't know if there is a rule about only drawing one or more clubs of another FA. E.g. the Dutch will have 3 participants. Drawing one of them is not my cup of tea let alone 2 or 3.

Just lame

Oi vazeles managed to conceed already in the fourth minute and to conceed another while Lens is one man down after a red card.

FT 4-0. Pretty good game. Return a formality. I think Koulierakis won't play there in order not to jeopardise his transfer.

4-0: Baba scores in the rebound

Chalov's kick stopped and in the rebound on the post. Samatta 2.0?

Penalty. As Despodov is pushed.

Nice throw in by the Irish player......

4 subs. Murg, Sastre, Camara and Despodov subbed in for Konstantelias, Jonny, Schwab and Andrija. No more subs available.

Goal Konstantelias and 3-0.

Brandon injured and wants to be subbed. Chalov comes in.

Second yellow Honohan. Second a bit harsh. Seen heavier attacks not even seen as a foul by some refs.

Taison should have scored 3-0 there.

Goaaaal Taison and 2-0

And an unusual possesion of 69% for us at HT.

Grace is the striker we need! 😉

Goooaaaalllll. Will this count?

Looks like Jonny trips the defender. And it is 0-0 again.

VAR check.

Gaaaaaaooooolllllll Baba
