What a goal from Rodrigo Galo 

[Faliro]

He is talented. Good at defending too.

I knew he was good but couldn't imagine him doing something like that 

Hope AEK do well. Looks like Paok will be stronger too,which would make things more interesting. Olympiakos should still come out on top

PAO won tonight 1-2 at Panaitolikos.

This will be a very bitchy league. All three Athens giants won on round 1. Table:

How's Marco handling the pressure at Piraeus?

[Faliro]

Perfectly.

Every PAO and AEK fan is saying Olympiacos bought the first game and paid the ref because they say Durmaz controlled the ball with his arms first goal. For me it was not handball - but their journalists and foreign born fans are going wild. Here is the goal:

Vazelos knocked out tonight by an Azerbaijani team with a squad worth less than half PAO's value. fans attacked Sanchez and Nano after the final whistle.

Oh wait, it seems PAO made it..

[Festivus]

Thoughts on the EL groups?

[Faliro]

PAOK is an unknown quantity (virtually a new squad and new manager) but has a earth shatteringly bad defence. They got the lowest 2 teams from the lowest two pots - including the Azeris that knocked out Pana. I don't see many points, but I could be wrong. Second is doable, but it will be a very big struggle.

Asteras has the best technical team in Greece and usually builds very good South American/Latin dominated sides who know how to score. Will be curious to see how they get along as they sold Barralles - their best striker 2 weeks ago. They tried to get Erik Moreno from Braga as a replacement - a player I rate - but it seems the deal is off.

I think both teams will struggle but Asteras can be the best one to watch. If PAOK can build up an angry head of steam with some victories - they may make it out the groups.

[Faliro]

Aris lost their appeal. They stay in the third division.

Really sad in a away. Super fans, super stadium in a country that needs them in the top league. Shitty management.

Hopefully AEL Larissa will make it into the top league next year. They have a great new stadium and passionate fans.

It's not a handball.

People need to calm down.

You are welcome on that forum if you ever get bored here.

Pontes, manager of Panaitokios, does what many teams - including European teams - have failed to do. Win in Tripoli against Asteras:

PAOK sign Berbatov - big signing for them. They removed half their squad to free up wages for this guy. Pereyra, Salpigidis, Rat, etc all gone.
