Greek Cup 2016-2017

^ and Olympiakos just had an offside goal (correctly) disallowed. Hopefully this result stands.

[Blackhawk]

1:1 now

[pash]

The only way out of this is if I predict an Olympiakos victory.

[Blackhawk]

Go ahead

[pash]

Okay here goes:

 

I think Olympiakos will comfortably win this one

[pash]

And the moment I type that they score. I'm done with this game!

[Blackhawk]

Unfortunately you might be right as they scored a second one.

[Athens4]

Shame that. Also a shame that Da Costa will not be making the trip to our place on Sunday.

[Blackhawk]

Olympiakos won 2:1.

It's been 70 years since the same four teams made it to the semifinals of the Greek Cup:

PAOK
Olympiakos
AEK
Panathinaikos

The date of the draw will be announced tomorrow.

Who do we want to play?

[Bajewy]

ill take AEK.

i wouldnt mind Panathinaikos and olympiak*s roughing each other up. 

[pash]

I want AEK too. Panathinaikos seems to have hit some form. I'd rather them and Olympiakos batter each other into submission, maybe grab a few reds while they're at it.

 

Has it truly been 70 years since those four teams all made it? You'd think that this would be a somewhat common occurrence.

[Blackhawk]

Yes last time it happened was in 1948-1949 season:

1948-49: Semi-Finals :

A.E.K. - Olympiakos S.F.P.                 2:1
Xenos, Maropoulos - Chatzistavridis

Panathinaikos A.O. - P.A.O.K.              1:0
Papantoniou

[Blackhawk]

The draw will be made on March 17.

[pash]

Fortunately, by the time we play this next game we'll have had a few weeks without a Thursday game. Hopefully this will help with the fatigue.

[Blackhawk]

Until the semifinal cup games we will only play once a week. Also at the end of March there is break for the NT. So things should become little bit easier. We have been playing twice a week for the past 2 months non-stop.

[Dutch Eagle]

Draw will be 11:30 Greek time March 17th.

Games will probably be played in April as the Gavs have to play EL (March 9 and 16) and - as Blackhawk mentioned - the NT will play at the end of March.

[Athens4]

Yet another flaw to the Greek cup system. Why the f*** is the draw two weeks after the quarter finals? Why not do it like in England or even UEFA? Do it the day after the last round!

Gives them more time to pick the best opponents for you-know-who ;)

I can't seem to find my tin foil hat.

[Blackhawk]

Draw for the semifinal is tomorrow at 11:30 EET.
We have a 33.33% chance to be drawn against

AEK
Panathinaikos
Olympiakos 

[Yiankos]

Ποιον να διαλέξεις σε τέτοια κλήρωση; Προσωπικά θα ήθελα τον Ολυμπιακό στον τελικό. Μόνο έτσι πιστεύω ότι θα παθιαστούμε όσο πρέπει για να το σηκώσουμε. Με ΑΕΚ και Παναθηναϊκό στον τελικό πιστεύω πιο εύκολα θα το χάσουμε. Οπότε για τα ημιτελικά διαλέγω ΑΕΚ ή Παναθηναϊκό.

[pash]

Draw postponed due to bomb scare....

[Bananas]

Only in Greece.  Just when you thought it couldn't be any worse.

[Dutch Eagle]

They could not pick four balls to draw, but they were able to set the dates for the semis in the meantime ....
