UEFA president Michel Platini watched from the stands as Saint-Etienne handed Olympiacos its walking orders from the final edition of the UEFA Cup on Thursday evening. Dimitri Payet and Ilan scored for the French, before Oscar Gonzalez tallied for the traveling Greeks to pave way for a 2-1 win for Saint-Etienne at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

Olympiacos out to salvage European season against Saint-Etienne
By: Peter Katsiris | No Comments
A mountainous chore lies ahead for Olympiacos, after their self-destructive performance at the Giorgos Karaiskakis Stadium last week allowed Saint-Etienne to cruise to a comfortable 3-1 victory in Piraeus. On Thursday night, the Greek Champions will aim to overturn that deficit at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, but the odds are stacked heavily against the Greek Super [...]

Olympiacos are in a deep hole as we head to the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard to take on Saint Étienne tomorrow afternoon (or night if you are in Europe).

Alright, I know Chris already wrapped up Wednesday’s horrific result, but this post here is all about me salvaging my little postgame tradition. I’ll be honest, I was pissed, and still am; however, I’ve cooled down since Wednesday afternoon. Like Chris said, it’s going to be a hell of a ride next week, and it [...]
St. Etienne hands Olympiacos an “ASSE” whooping
By: Chris Pavlakos | No Comments
I predicted a 3-1 scoreline for Wednesday’s game and I was right… I just had the teams wrong. Wrong, that’s a good word to describe this game. The game started off well enough and I (and my friend and his dad) were positive we had scored in the 3rd minute off a free kick, [...]
