bhends obscure game of the week

In an effort to expand my horizons, I am going to attempt to watch one game from outside of epl/spain/germ/italy per week, and since some games could be during odd hours (so no chat) I figured I'd make a thread for any match commentary - thanks to firstrow it should be relatively easy to get games from everywhere

Week 1: I might actually do 2 games tomorrow since its the first go around, but here are some games I've been eying suggestions or comments welcome: PSV-Ajax (1030 am EST), Olympiakos-Panathinaikos (Noon EST), River Plate-Arsenal de Sarandi (715pm EST)

Leaning toward Olympiakos-Panathinaikos and River-Arsenal atm

Week 1: Olympiakos vs Panathinaikos, River Plate vs Arsenal de Srandi
Week 2:

Is Cuenca still injured?

If Cuenca isn't injured and is playing with Ajax, I'd like that one best. In fact, I may even join in.

If he's injured do whatever the hell you want. I think I'm going to go check his injury status right now.

6/10

PSV v Ajax is not really obscure, you know.

The Eredivisie is the best league in the world. Haters gonna hate.

Only "real" league in terms of talent. Only league where any of four teams can win the league if PSV do beat Ajax. They don't necessary have to splash the cash to make the league entertaining. The youth their is amazing. Eredivisie.

I'll be watching FC Basel 1893 vs FC Zürich on 13:45 GMT+1. Other than it features Yann Sommer, this will be the final match of Alex Frei before he retires his boots and becomes sports director of FC Luzern.

A-league grand final coming up soon, doesnt get more obscure then that

I'll join you bhends

In GL terms it is, aside from the 5 or so dutch fans we have here I would be surprised if many others would watch

PSV-Ajax is the biggest name on paper, the problem is I would have to miss the first part because of the end of the Inter match

If Basel hadn't just played Thursday in Europa League this definitely wouldve made the list of possible matches

How about the Swedish league?

Gefle IF vs Halmstads BK?

Basel won 3:1 against FC Zürich after being down 0:1 at first. Alex Frei, who started as Basel's captain today, scored the equalizer with a beautiful free kick. Great way to end his amazing career that began in Basel 16 years ago and now ended in Basel, too.

#Panathinaikos XI: Karnezis - Seitaridis, Boumsong, Triantafyllopoulos, Marinos - Zeca, Sow, Vitolo - Barbarouses, Toche, Sissoko

FIFA Legend Moussa Sow?!

I can't find the Olympiakos XI on twitter everything is in Greek alphabet

Great thread.

I need to do more of this tbh. Rather than only watch big games from the popular leagues.

Watch River-Arsenal and let me know how it goes, I got a meeting then

Very entertaining derby so far. Unreal atmosphere

game had to be paused, too much smoke

the ball is being put into dangerous areas frequently but the games been short of clear-cut chances so far

Olympiakos Team

42.Megyeri
6.Papazoglou
20.Holebas
8.Fejsa
21.Papadopoulos
24.Manolas
19.Fuster
2.Maniatis
Greco
Abdoun
10.Djebbour

Can't believe this game is 0-0

Pana had a 1v1 saved when the player tried to chip but the keeper stood tall

Boumsoung

2nd half on

Ibagaza on for Greco

GOAAAAAAAAL finally Panathinaikos break the deadlock

Very fast counter and a good final cross

Ground got significantly more quiet after the goal

Pana taking the sting out of the game

GL Jinx strikes again: Olympiacos gets their equalizer under contentious circumstances after a scramble in the box - Pana felt that the goal was offside but it was razor close

The Panathinaikos players proceeded to attack the ref like I have never seen...I think at one point the ref was pushed to the ground beneath an avalanche of 8 or 9 pana players and some subs

The goal was scored at 87....89 now and Pana still arguing - big crowd of 20 or so people near the benches surrounding the ref
