Re: Other European Football 4/6 May

greek cup final between Pao and Larisa.
Larisa are the big underdogs of the game but that doesn't mean they have no chance against a team that this year played so badly that noone could predict it at the beginning of the season.
The final will be held at Volos,a city near Larisa so close that rivalry between them is so big.Imagine newcastle playing a cup final at stadium of light.
Larisa is the only team that comes out of Athens and Thesaloniki that ever win the league in greece back in 88.They also won the cup once in85 beating champions Paok 4-1 and losing the cup two times both from Panathinaikos ('81 1-0 and '84 2-0).They still keep an eye on relegation but they seem to escape it(we'll find out next week).
Panathinaikos is the second most successful team in greece (19 champ,16cups) and really want to win the cup after that disastrous year they had.The cup might calm their fans but greek cup isnot that important as the league not even has the aura of the Fa cup here in England.

As for me i wouldn't put ant of my money at this Pao's team.
I would like Larisa to win the cup but i dont see it happening (maybe if they draw ...)
