Dutch Eagle

PAOK - Hibernian HT 1-0. We started with: Κοτάρσκι, Σάστρε, Εκόνγκ, Κουλιεράκης, Ράφα, Καμαρά, Σβαμπ, Ντεσπόντοφ, Μουργκ, Τάισον Μπράντον. They scored the goal in '5. Murg scored for us but it happened to be offside.

The ladies had the draw for the Champions League yesterday: Group 7 (hosts: Pogoń Szczecin) Semi-finals A.C. PAOK (GRE) vs F.C. Qiryat Gat (ISR) Servette FC Chênois Féminin (SUI) vs Pogoń Szczecin (POL) Matches to be played September 4th and no matter if they win or lose September 7th. Draw for Q2 is September 9th.

Kedziora is coming tonight to the Netherlands. Signs a 2 + 1 year contract and earns about the same as you @pash a year: 1 mil.

And Sakkari is out. 2-6 and 3-6 against Raducanu.

7,000 season tickets sold. 4,120 of last years ticket holders did not yet do that. They can do so till Monday July 8th 18.00 EEST.

And Tsitsipas is out. He lost against Emil Ruusuvuori (Finland) in R2: 6-7, 6-7, 6-3 and 3-6.

Fortuna Düsseldorf bought Tzolis for € 3.5 mil from Norwich (and PAOK got 17,5% of that amount). And ........ sold him almost immediately to Club Brugge for € 6 mil. Smart entrepreneurs.

R2: Sakkari - Rus (Netherlands) 7-5 and 6-3. Opponent in R3: Emma Raducanu (UK).

FT 2-1.

11 others on the pitch. And Larnaca pulls one back: 2-1

Goal. Livescore says 2-0 now.

Game will be played with the teams divided over the two halfs: Σημειώνεται πως στη μια 11άδα θα είναι οι: Κοτάρσκι, Σάστρε, Νάσμπεργκ, Κουλιεράκης, Μπάμπα, Καμαρά, Τσιγγάρας, Βιειρίνια, Γκούμας, Τάισον και Μπράντον Τόμας. Ενώ στην άλλη 11άδα θα είναι οι: Τσιφτσής, Όττο, Εκόνγκ, Μιχαηλίδης, Ράφα Σοάρες, Σβαμπ, Οζντόεφ, Ντεσπόντοφ, Μουργκ, Κουαλιάτα και Σαμάτα.

Today our first friendly of the season against AEK Larnaca. Btw, next weeks friendly against Genk will be played in a different format: two halfs of 60 minutes.

Leg 1 of Q2 will be played on Wednesday July 24th at 20:30 EEST in Toumba.

Tsitsipas advances to R2 with a 7-6 (5), 6-4, 7-5 win.

5,000 season tickets renewed/extended and counting. There is a possibility till July 7th to extend. After that not extended tickets/seats and the other seats can be be sold to others interested.

It's official now. Three seasons AZ: 80 goals, 27 assists and 1 time (joint) top scorer in the Eredivisie.

Sakkari won easy: 6-3 and 6-1. Already a better result this year as she was eliminated in R1 in 2023.

2024: R1: Taro Daniel (Japan) - Tsitsipas (seed #11) R1: Sakkari (seed #9) - McCartney Kessler (USA)

Tzolis probably to Club Brugge. Fanis Tzandaris to Asteras Tripolis.

Razvan wants a fifth friendly in the Netherlands. Should be played on the 13th (when we play Union St. Gilloise) of 14th. So it is for the B-squad to gain some minutes of playing time one might think.

Especially for our beloved @pash: Andrija won't come to the Netherlands and joins the squad on July 16th in Thessaloniki.

Travelling to me (again) are: Κοτάρσκι, Τσιφτσή, Μπαλωμένο, Ταλιχμανίδη, Μοναστηρλή, Βιεϊρίνια, Σάστρε, Ότο, Εκόνγκ, Θυμιάνη, Κουλιεράκη, Μιχαηλίδη, Νάσμπεργκ, Ράφα Σοάρες, Μπάμπα, Τσαούση, Τσιγγάρα, Σβαμπ, Οζντόεφ, Καμαρά, Κωνσταντέλια, Μουργκ, Τάισον, Κουαλιάτα, Ντεσπόντοφ, Μπράντον, Σαμάτα, Σμυρλή, Τσοπούρογλου και Γκούμα. So some youngsters, PAOK B-players but no Lyratzis and André Ricardo. Andrija is not mentioned but I think he might come at the end of the spell in Horst after a forthnight without football on his mind.

3,000 and counting

Played the whole match. Stayed 0-0 and so Andrija can enjoy some days of rest as of tomorrow. As @kolokotronis99tripoli stated in other words: good for us!
