pash Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 So we don't even start until one step before quarterfinals. Bizarre. Good to see that we'll have two chances, just in case our second string screws up the first 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Only the SL teams will participate this season. We have drawn Larisa. First leg in Toumba on January 19/20/21. February 2/3/4 the return in Larisa. Lamia and Panathinaikos were lucky and have a bye to the quarterfinals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pash Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I haven't been following this or the SL2 stuff - so like, are half the teams in Greece just not having seasons or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhawk Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 What a joke. They should just cancel the damn thing. At the very least they should have just done a free draw where everyone could have been drawn with anybody. None of this seeded/unseeded teams. Wouldn't it be nice to have AEK-Olympiakos or PAOK-Aris matchup right from the beginning? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch Eagle Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Thought we couldn’t sink lower but the mighty EPO found something to surprise me once again. From the quarterfinals there will be VAR but if teams agree the VAR can be ruled out: Η Εκτελεστική Επιτροπή της ΕΠΟ έκανε γνωστό πως θα υπάρξει χρήση VAR στα προημιτελικά του Κυπέλλου με την υποσημείωση ότι δεν θα μπει μόνο εάν συμφωνήσουν οι δύο ομάδες του κάθε ζευγαριού ότι δεν το θέλουν.

Blackhawk Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 Draw for quarterfinals will be tomorrow at 11:30 EET. Leg 1 games to be played next week. Return leg one month later in March. Teams in tomorrows draw: AEK Athens Aris Thessaloniki NFC Volos Olympiakos Piraues Panathinaikos Athens PAOK Thessaloniki PAS Giannina PAS Lamia As far as I know it's an open draw any team can be drawn against anyone, but why do I have a feeling that we will not have a derby between the top 4 teams.

Dutch Eagle Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 And we have drawn Lamia. First game in Toumba. The big 4 were seperated. As expected. One friendly amongst the ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 I don't think the leg 2 time is set yet. It's just a default time for all four leg 2 games on EPO site right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 The results of the first leg of quartefinals: Olympiakos - O Aris 2:1 PAS Giannina - Panathinaikos 2:1 AEK - NFC Volos 4:2 PAOK - Lamia 5:2 Return leg is scheduled for first week in March. At the end it's going to be the Big 4 in the semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackhawk Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 Today's results: Lamia - PAOK 1:1, 2:5 PAO - Giannina 1:2, 1:2 Tomorrow's games: Volos - AEK (2:4) Aris - Olympiakos (1:2) Would really be nice to see Aris and Volos in the semis, but I doubt if there will any other surprises. Everyone will now want to play with Giannina in the semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athens4 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 To be fair Aris have gone in all guns blazing in the first 10 minutes. Satellite club getting brave. It is going to make for an awkward Summer party if they go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
