PAOK International Players (National Teams)

[paokarag4]

Pasxalakis finally gets his call up! 
Karelis and Pelkas also called up as well as Giannoulis. 

[Athens4]

The fact that Tziolis and Tzavellas are still in the NT shows what a joke it is.

[pash]

Don't forget Koulouris, who I think has already scored more goals this year than he did last year.

[Dutch Eagle]

I feel sorry for Prijovic and Tosca (and their dreams of being important for their country) but maybe it will benefit PAOK in the rest of the season: They didn’t play even a second for their national teams yesterday.

[Dutch Eagle]

Warda just scored Egypt’s second goal against Swaziland (qualifying game for the Africa cup of Nations).

[BostonThanatos]

Pelkas starting as a left winger for the NT today

[Blackhawk]

That's too bad.

Limnios and Lambrou played for U-21 NT against Croatia which we lost 2:0 and lost the chance to qualify directly to the next stage of Euro. Now we have to play a play-off round to accomplish that.

[pash]

Pelkas got a hell of a cut there, currently on the sideline getting cleaned up

[Blackhawk]

That's why I don't want any of our player on the NT. Not until the NT stops being controlled by player agents.

[pash]

The player agents made the guy hit him?

Enough with your logic and reason

Romania - Serbia for the Nations League today. Tosca in the starting line-up, Prio on the bench (again).

[Yiankos]

Μια χαρά είναι και στον πάγκο. Να μην κουράζεται ο άνθρωπος! Να έρθει φορτωμένος να ξεφορτώσει στον συμπολίτη.

[Dutch Eagle]

And he stayed on the bench all the game. Tosca played the whole game. FT 0-0 btw, despite the red card for Romania in 45’.

[Dutch Eagle]

Krima. Paschalakis and Pelkas got an expected call-up for the Ethniki but also Karelis, who better stayed at us as back-up in front for the cupgame.

[pash]

So I think this is the full list of our first-team players, so far:

Greece - Pelkas, Karelis, Pashalakis

• Loanees - Koulouris, Giannoulis

Greece U21 - Limnios

• Loanees - Lamprou

Other - Prijovic, Tosca, Warda, Varela

 

Tons of our youth players are called up as well.

[Dutch Eagle]

Siabanis left the Elpidon with an injury and headed back to Thessaloniki to recover.

[pash]

Seems our GK might get his first cap with the Ethniki on Sunday. Very overdue.

Also, no reason for Mitroglou to start there. He's been terrible, for ages. Give Koulouris some serious game time, Angele

[Yiankos]

Πόσο κόσμο είχε στο ΟΑΚΑ χθες; 5.000;

[pash]

θα έλεγα 300

(now who's being salty? THIS GUY)

[Dutch Eagle]

Good for us, but he might think otherwise, but Prio was on the bench the whole game for Serbia against Montenegro.

[pash]

We had some representation in the K19's 5-3 win over Romania. The entire back line, in fact:

Tsaousis - LB - scored a PK as well

Lyratzis - RB (also captain)

Michailidis - CB

Diamantis - CB

 

-edit- btw with this win, they go on to the next stage. Looks like they will be seeded in the second pot. One more game left (kind of meaningless), taking place on the 20th - after that, the last group stage begins on December 6th. Top team from each of those new groups will go on to the knockout stage. Good luck to the li'l guys

Tosca also remained the whole 90’ in his tracksuit during Romania - Lithuania.

[Yiankos]

Μέχρι στιγμής δεν έχει δείξει κάτι ο Τόσκα, αλλά το ότι είναι βασικός με την εθνική του λέει πολλά. Ήρθε και τελευταία στιγμή, χωρίς προετοιμασία. Αργεί να βρει τα πατήματά του, αλλά ελπίζω να δέσει με την ομάδα. Με τον Βιεϊρίνια επιρρεπή σε τραυματισμούς χρειαζόμαστε οπωσδήποτε τον Τόσκα σε καλή κατάσταση.

Gaitanidis (LW) scored a hat trick vs Bulgaria today, for the U19. They end the group undefeated, and actually have improved their position to pot A: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_UEFA_European_Under-19_Championship_qualification#Elite_round

The U21 plays in a few hours, no lineup announced yet from what I can see. We are playing the second leg of a playoff (vs Austria, for which we lost the first match 1-0). Will be a tough one.
