Greek Football Season 2016-2017
Some consequences of the defeat versus PAOK: Diamantis Chouchoumis and Giandomenico Mesto will leave Pana at the end of the season.
Less than 5 minutes left before Greek Cup semi-finals... maybe the most important title of recent greek football history!
It is not only the fact that the big 4 of greek football meet again in semi-finals after 60+, but it is also the moment after the Criminal Organisation has collapsed and multi-champion Olympiacos stopped being gifted titles.
It is the fist time after many seasons that all four best greek teams start from the same level and all of them have reasons and motives to believe they can win the title.
Olympiacos is used to win titles and has the know-how to prevail. They also have the motivation to prove they are the best team even when referees don't decide the result.
PAOK has (maybe) the most balanced team with quality choices in all lines and depth in their bench. They also have the richest owner and the ambition to become the next "dictator" of greek football. But they luck winning mentality and they are used to losing all the important games.
Panathinaikos has (maybe) the best starting XI, but no quality subs. Also they usually meet hostile refereeing and have a very bad behavior when things go the wrong way. Bad mentality and zero patience usually destroy every effort.
AEK has (maybe) the weakest team, but they are title-owners and are on great form. Furthermore they have built a good record against Olympiacos and they usually have good refereeing.
In my opinion, the winner of PAO-PAOK will meet Olympiacos in the final, and if refereeing is balanced, they will win the cup (unless injuries and suspensions force them to use a weakened team).
May the best team win!
My odds:
52% - PAOK, Olympiacos, Panathinaikos
44% - AEK

Panathinaikos (2-0 at home vs PAOK) and AEK (2-1 away vs Olympiacos) are the favourites for the Greek Cup Final.
Unfortunately shameful scenes took place in the 2nd semi final, with police officers beating players and staff of the hosts Olympiacos, with the reason so far not being specified.

AEK-Panathinaikos is certainly a final that I've missed watching. Looking forward to it!
Good morning forum! Everything will probably be decided on Sunday in the Greek first division.
Olympiacos need a draw against PAS Giannina to be champions.
Panathinaikos need a draw against Atromitos at home to secure a play-off spot. AEK need a win. PAOK and Panionios have already secured play-off spots. The difference between the clubs in the play-off mini league will be very small (probably just 1 point).
Levadiakos vs AEK, Larissa vs Xanthi and Iraklis vs Panaitolikos; all three home clubs need wins for the relegation battle.

Good morning seso!
I think that everything will be decided today. In courts.
Olympiacos is facing a -6 points punishment for riots in their last game.
Will justice do what did to PAOK, AEK, Panathinaikos repeatedly in the last seasons, or the team that even UEFA fears to touch will skip another scandal?

Kalimera og! I don't expect anything to happen, but let's see!
The chanches are that that will be a fine and maybe a closed-doors games penalty, that was the case when Atromitos owner attacked an assistant referee earlier this year(they are facing a similar charge for attacking a game official). Just Macedonian media (and certain 2-3 others friendly to PAOK) have made this a much bigger subject than it really is, I believe so that they can be complaining about scandals when the penalty is not what they want.
...says the person who from all the "war" happened after the game, he saw only police hitting Olympiacos players...
Bad "Macedonian media" who cover the real truth. Fortunately we have the "good ojective media" who didn't say a word about what rules clearly say about the punishment and also didn't say a word when in the previous home game Platanias players and referees were also attacked..
Seso, of course nothing is going to happen!

Olympiacos are champions (pending the court decision). PAOK, Panathinaikos, Panionios and AEK qualified for the play-offs and for European football. Levadiakos are relegated.

PAOK beat Panathinaikos 4-0 in the 2nd leg of the semi-finals and managed to turn around the 2-0 defeat in the first leg.
If someone watched only the first half they would be stunned to learn the result, panathinaikos wasted many great chances, in the 2nd half PAOK was better and managed to score 3 more goals, the referee helped a little since Panathinaikos got a red card(2nd yellow which was maybe too harsh) but I really do think it was Panathinaikos own fault for wasting so many chances in the first half.
In the end the final will be PAOK vs AEK , I hope PAOK will ginally get a title again after so many years.

The Greek regular season has ended. Olympiacos has dominated the season; they were in first place for 28/30 MDs. PAOK started badly (they were 11th on MD10), but improved in the second half and finished 2nd. Panathinaikos was always in the top 5 and finished 3rd. The lowest position for AEK was 7th; they finished 4th. Panionios was up to 2nd, but finished 5th.
Xanthi and Atromitos started very badly (down to 15th and 16th spots), but finished well at 6th and 8th spot. Iraklis was at the bottom position for most of the season, but in the last 3 MDs went up to 12th. Very bad season for Asteras Tripoli and Larissa. Levadiakos and Veria were relegated.
The starting table for the play-offs is:
PAOK 2 pts
Panathinaikos 1 pt
AEK 0 pt
Panionios 0 pt
Marcus Berg (Panathinaikos) and Hamza Younés (Xanthi) were the two top goal scorers.

PAOK are the cup winners by defeating AEK 2-1. The winning goal was by far offside.
Chaotic scenes before the start of the match with hooligans of both clubs fighting throughout the stadium, even stabbing each other with knives. Of course the responsibles are the HFF and the Sports Minister, who allowed the final to happen in a dangerous stadium, in a city where the mayor is a common criminal (Mr Beos...).
