NikosVazelas Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 The uefa cup draw is hours away and Uefa has split the last 80 teams into their familiar groups. the exact process is unknown but from the 40 seeded teams, they make 8 groups of 5 teams and put them up against another 8 groups of 5 teams from the unsided teams. so as it has ben drawn, pao's opponent will either be: Odense,Artmedia,FC Zurich,Tampere United or Kayseri Erciyespor. If we dont make it through it will be the shame of a nation. below are the groups of seeded and unseeded teams for you all to see. one team from the left will be drawn with one team from the right. Looks potentially good for aris and panionio too. with a little luck Seeded --------------------------------- ----------------Unseeded Sevilla FC (ESP) / AEK Athens FC (GRE) ---------- -------FC Groningen (NED) AFC Rapid Bucuresti (ROU)-----------------------------1.

drakos13 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 worst case is Artmedia Petrzalka or FC Zurich I feel, best case is Tampere and Id like to get Erciyespor..... :box: but Im 90% sure it will be FC Zurich, because after living 4 years in Switzerland and hoping and waiting PAO will draw a team near me that I had time to go to, it never happened, whileas now that I have moved and am no longer in Switerland surely it will happen.... :LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drakos13 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Artmedia Bratislava (aka Petrzalka) made it to the CL Group stage the other year and did very well... probably the best out of European performers from the pot.... in other Greek team news: Aris of course got Zaragoza (Aris always gets awful draws I feel) Anorthosis got Tottenham Larisa got Blackburn Panionios got Sochaux AEK got Salzburg OSFP got Real, Werder and Lazio would not surpise me if all 6 went out of europe next round, but I think PAO and AEK will make it through not to last much longer... UEFA Coefficient 18th place in Europe and falling :( IF a surpise happens I would go for Anorthosis or Panionios to go through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS1905 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 in other Greek team news: Aris of course got Zaragoza (Aris always gets awful draws I feel) Anorthosis got Tottenham Larisa got Blackburn Panionios got Sochaux AEK got Salzburg OSFP got Real, Werder and Lazio IF a surpise happens I would go for Anorthosis or Panionios to go through Anorthosi over Spurs? well, nice joke I would call it, drako.. You guys think every team is like Cluj or Trabzonspor, hey? :LOL: AEK will definitely go past Red Bull Salzburg though it will be a hard tie! After going thru this round, they are to do great things in UEFA Cup, I believe.. :) Aris-Real Zaragoza might very well bring about a surprise IF HARILOU BOYS GET A WIN W/O CONCEDING A GOAL AT HOME IN THE FIRST LEG! :unsure: Panionios-Sochaux is an interesting one as French teams other than Lyon are largely inconsistent year-in and year-out and anything is possible in this tie.. :blink: PAO-Artmedia Bratislava is a no-brainer as Bratislava is nowhere near the team it once was two-three years ago.. PAO will kick ass in this round but for the latter stages, it is doubtful imo! :( in the tie Larisa-Blackburn, the Rovers are the favourites but we'll see what happens.. but i remember Larisa to have performed very poorly against Kayserispor last term.. and finally, I think Oly will get gang-raped in that group, only happening to salvage a draw in Rome against Lazio only to lose at home to them and maybe a last matchday win if the team they play has guaranteed qualification.. :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Pao can and should beat Bratislavia and advance to the next round.I really hope so because we need the points as a country and i dont know what to expect from the rest of our teams including mine. :gr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikosVazelas Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 fantastic draw for pao.only tampere would of been better we will be a top seeded team for the group stage as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark_horse Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 My reaction to the Uefa Cup drawings for Greek clubs: some are very kind and some are not. Panathinaikos and AEK should have no problem progressing to the group stage. Both Panionios and Aris are 50/50, tough but not impossible. Larissa is the one team that does not stand a chance, Blackburn is simply a class of it's own. Our Cypriot club got the worst of all draws, Tottenham will murder them to death. :tdown: If we can have 4 Greek clubs to advance to the group stage, I'll be very happy.

Tsoglani Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Ok here is my prediction who passes the qualification. PAO, AEK(will be hard but they will make it), Aris will make it to and Panionios has very good chances aswell. Sadly i think that Larisa doesnt have what ti takes to win against their oponnent.

NikosVazelas Posted August 31, 2007 Author Share Posted August 31, 2007 aris is playing Sarasgosa guys. Not levante. it will be extremely surprising if they make it. Aek will def pass. So will pao. Panionio needs a good result in the first game to have a chance and Larisa will get blown away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irlandos Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I see PAO going through but no other Greek club - and I include Anorthosis - as their opposition is far too strong. Oh and Sevilla will also go through v. Salzburg! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drakos13 Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Anorthosi over Spurs? well, nice joke I would call it, drako.. You guys think every team is like Cluj or Trabzonspor, hey? :LOL: Everytime I see Anorthosis in Europe Im pretty impressed, usually minnow Greek teams go and get harassed 3-0 but Anorthosis fights, progreses and almost got into the CL vs Rangers (and Anorthosis did deserve to win that one but thats football) Tottenham have great players, great team but isnt Berbatov injured, and midlevel English teams in Europe are usually not much better than the other "3rd world" (in footballing terms) level countries......Exception being Middlesborough recently.... The EPL teams always kind of dissapointed even with "easy" s%$#! draws in UEFA Cup... And because I know Ketsbaia is a great coach Anorthosis is still organized and determined like they always are, if anybody was to get it together, play a great game and win over the circumstances amongst Aris, Panionios, Larisa, I would go for Anorthosis who at least competes in Europe...... Panionios also has a chance, they played great last year, made progress and hopefully Panionios fans will fill up the stadium for once and get excited becuase only in europe so often and Panionios might be able to sneak a win... Greek mid level clubs Im convinced simply dont care in europe.....look at Larisa w/ Kayserispor last year, and didnt OFI get knocked out by a Kazakh team this year??? OFI were a fantastic team last year, they had absolutley the potential to make a run in europe playing the way they were playing - I dont get it, unless they had too many souvlaki's on their island vacation in Crete this summer :LOL: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
