[PaokCT]

Must win. Oly will not drop points in February. Pretty easy schedule ahead. We can't fall behind even more.

[Blackhawk]

After yesterday the race for the title has been decided. We need to focus more now on the cup and progressing in Europe.

[Dutch Eagle]

Biseswar is injured. Like Oliveira and El Kaddouri. Douglas Augusto is suspended. Soares made the squad:

Πασχαλάκης, Ζίβκοβιτς, Τέιλορ, Λύρατζης, Σάστρε, Μιχάι, Ίνγκασον, Μιχαηλίδης, Βιεϊρίνια, Σίντκλεϊ, Εσίτι, Τσιγγάρας, Κούρτιτς, Σβαμπ, Σοάρες, Μουργκ, Α.Ζίβκοβιτς, Άκπομ, Τσόλακ.

[Blackhawk]

Mitrita, Jaba and Crespo did not make the squad either. One of those three has Covid. My bet is on Jaba.

I guess deep down we knew he wasn't going to be serious. A leopard doesn't change its spots.

[pash]

Jaba having covid is a sign of...unprofessionalism?

Yea I was confused as well about that comment.

[Athens4]

Pretty sure that if he stuck to the routine of home, training ground, home then he wouldn't have it. Then again I could be wrong. The point is, we lost €4m signing this guy.

[pash]

Ridiculous comment. I am a virtual shut-in and still got covid last week. The implications of what you're saying are bizarre and frankly pretty dumb.

So these people aren't allowed to go anywhere else? I am not sure about the restrictions for football players in Greece, hence the question. And who is to say no one else got it and passed it onto him, but the original person is asymptomatic.

 

Also, if you think every single player in the Superleague just spends their time at their club and home, I have a beachfront home in Nebraska to sell you.

All I know is that during the season top footballers wake up go to training, come home, sleep early and repeat the next day. When the season is over they go wild but during the season they are monks. The top footballers. Now what everyone else is of course up to them.

Oh? Then tell me why Ronaldo was in Dubai this past weekend. Also , Lewandowski was out snowboarding on the mountains after he went to collect his trophy for best player of the year award. What about the players who go play internationally. Don’t they go to hotels with… other people there…? Couple weeks ago Alphonso Davies was pictured in Mexico with his FINE girlfriend. Trent-Alexander Arnold is in the Maldives currently. De Bruyne is in some island paradise also. 
 

Are these the top footballers you’re mentioning?

[Blackhawk]

First of all we don't know if Jaba is the one with covid. It could Mitrita (most likely when I think about it) or Crespo. Second of all he could have gotten infected anywhere. At practice, during the last game from anybody on the field.

Sure, but at the same time they have also made it. What has Jaba done except for make UEFA team of the week once?

By the way, how do you know all these things about footballers?

Absolutely. I am just speculating. 

[Blackhawk]

Vierinha that has to be a goal.

[Blackhawk]

Don't believe the chances we are wasting.

[Blackhawk]

Finally Murg 1:0.

[Dutch Eagle]

Murg 0-1

[pash]

My man!

[Blackhawk]

0:1 halftime.

Should have been at least 0:3.

Better score at least one more because Apollon had 2 good chances to tie the game.

[pash]

Bet we'll see Soares soon. Will be interesting to see if he's any good.
