Tough year for Greek football. So much unpleasantness. The extra title helps, but I think it will take a while to get back on track.

AEK will be back in the summer.. that is when the league will start to resemble a normal league again..

Also it will be 16 teams next year.

What is the situation with Aris? They are making a good season?

[Faliro]

Started badly. They were still in free fall at the beginning of the season after being punished and relegated to the third division.  They have started to make a comeback but it may be too little too late.. They won today but so did their rivals. Kavala and Panserraikos should not be down there either..



They still get the crowds even in the third division. Sad situation.

Great stuff. The video is horribly distasteful, but the music is really, really good.

The precursor to football chants!

Looks like Greece will be leaving UEFA and FIFA.

The far left Government has been repealing all laws which it feels are capitalist, right wing or leaves them without control.

Last week the minister for education repealed all the laws put in place in 2010. That means once again, university students have an unlimited time to complete a degree at university. Most Greeks take over 12 years to do a 3 year degree... It also means leftist students can elect university deans and once again, the universities will become bastions of the far left. Tsipras the PM, took 10 years to complete his degree and he never turned up to classes, only student sit-ins and protests..

Anyway, this far left minister (Deputy Sports Minister), here is his face:



He has passed a bill which removes the EPO from being in charge of the football in Greece and lets the Government make the decisions. This is in direct violation of UEFA and FIFA statutes. Greece will most likely be removed from FIFA and UEFA - which to honest will be no big loss to the world, but hard on the fans in Greece who will have Taliban status in the world of football.

UEFA, FIFA warn Greece over government's planned new laws

NYON, Switzerland (AP) — UEFA and FIFA say they have sent a final warning to Greece that it faces suspension from international football for government interference.

The Greek government wants to pass laws punishing violence at sports events, including imposing fines and threatening to cancel matches.

Football's governing bodies have strict rules protecting their member federations' independence to run their own affairs.

UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino says a joint letter with FIFA was sent to the Greek government on Wednesday.

Infantino hopes the threat "will make them reconsider their actions, so we can still work together to resolve the issues affecting Greek football."

Teams and officials from suspended countries cannot take part in international matches and meetings.

In 2006, FIFA briefly suspended Greece when European champion for government interference.

Sadly, Greece leaving UEFA and FIFA...will only strengthen F.C. Oporto.

^^ That is what everyone is thinking in Greece at the moment but no one has the guts to say out loud.
