WELL DONE JAIME.

Vienna calling

Weekend 1-2 of December the Austrian GP called ROYAL FLASH CUP was played in Vienna. Our player Giorgos Aggelinas was there in order to play in the veterans category. So, Saturday 1, we had the individual competitions. In the veterans we had 4 groups of 5 players each. Giorgos was in group 4, alongside Schitto (ITA), Lindner and Ruf (GER) and Bottana (SWI).
Giorgos didn’t start so good as he lost his first game against Lindner 0-2. Then in order to qualify he had a mountain to climb. He beat in his second game Ruf 4-0 and in his third game Botana 3-1. in the last game he had to face the Italian Schitto. Giorgos needed just a win (and a combination of results in the other group game) to qualify. Giorgos managed to win the “final” 1-0. Then we had three players Giorgos, Schitto and Lindner leading the group with the equal 9 points. The goal difference was in favor of Giorgos and the Italian as both of them had 8-3 and Lindner 7-3. so Giorgos qualified in the last 8 but we needed a penalty shoot out to decide who is the winner and who is the runner up of the group. Giorgos lost and he was second of the group.
So in the last 8 he had to play against Phil Redman (ENG). The normal time (30’) was not enough to find the winner. A goalless draw was there. The score didn’t change even in the sudden death. So Giorgos had to play another shoot out. But this time the end of the procedure find Giorgos smiling.
The qualification to the last 4 meant that he had to face the local Hasieber. The score in the halftime was 2-2. Nothing changed in the second half so Giorgos had to lay another one sudden death. But this time he didn’t make it. 3 minutes from time he conceded one and he was out.
Anyway he made a great tournament. Well done Giorgos.

Berlin GP

Saturday November 24, our player Giorgos Aggelinas traveled to Berlin in order to participate in the German grand prix. He played in two categories, veterans and open.

In the veterans he didn’t manage to qualified from the group as he gained just one point (draw 1-1 against Vogt, and lost 1-2 against Bom). So his first participation (out of Greece) in the veterans’ category wasn’t so encouraging.
On the other hand and in the open category he did well. First of all he adjusted his game in the famous cotton pitches of Berlin. He managed to win the group of four players, winning all his three opponents having also a clean sheet in those games (Kutrowatz 5-0, Tilgner 1-0, Vacke 2-0). His record continued and in the barrage stage as he beat in sudden death his rival Jesper Staal Nielsen 1-0. So he entered in the last 16. Then he had to play Saverio Bari. He lost 0-4 against the Italian who later on won the trophy.
Giorgos played in Berlin for third year in a row and he is looking forward for next season to extended his record to four times.

The next tournament that an Athens Kicker player will participate will be Vienna GP the coming weekend. Giorgos will be there and we wish him the best.

Argyris Poulidis says

Argyris Poulidis "THE SOUL" of our team made a statement concerning the Cardiff GP tournament.

CARDIFF GP- ARMED ROBBERY

CARDIFF GP- ARMED ROBBERY
Weekend 13-14 of October the Athens Kickers team participated in the Welsh GP.

Saturday 13 we had the individual competition. In open category Argyris Poulidis and Giorgos Aggelinas unlikely didn’t manage to qualify from the group. Aggelos Tsakiris won his group (2 wins). In the barrages he beat D.Pawsey and qualified to the last 32. Then he lost to Valverde 1-2. Jaime Silva scored 4 wins (2 in the group, one more in the barrages and in the last 32 against M.Croatti) qualified to the last 16. Then he lost against K. Bennett who later reached the final.
In the veterans Marcos Kapsabelis (in his first appearance in the category) managed 4 wins in his group and another one in the quarter final against Stemitsiotis. So in the semifinal he had to play against JC Granados. Marcos lost 0-1 in a close game.

Sunday 14 we had the team event. Athens Kickers, in their first tournament of the season, had in their group White Star and Issy les Moulineaux. We managed two wins and the results were:
Against White Star 2-1 : Kapsabelis- Jones 1-1, Tsakiris- Cook 4-0, G.Aggelinas- Bradley 0-1 and Silva- Hawkins 1-0.
Against Issy 4-0 : Kapsabelis- Gorgette 3-0, Tsakiris- Donval 3-2, G.Aggelinas- Amberny 2-1 and Silva- Boutrin 3-1
Next step to the way to last eight it was against Stembert B. Another win 2-1 and the results were: Kapsabelis- D.Denooz 1-2, Tsakiris- F.Denooz 5-0, G. Aggelinas- M.Ponthieux 2-0, Silva- Herberqc 2-2.
In last eight our team faced Real Murcia. Our team gave the ultimate fight but a bad call from the referees (a no way penalty kick) in the very last minute of the game gives the qualification to our opponents.
It was Tsakiris- Valverde 0-0, Kapsabelis- Granados 2-2, Silva- Clarke 1-1 and G.Aggelinas- Varney 1-2.(FAKE PENALTY).
So without a single defeat we found ourselves out of the competition instead the semi finals.
This unlucky refereeing is not capable to damage our morale. It makes us even stronger for the future

Kyriacos Ktenas moves to Brussels SC.

Athens kickers are announcing the transfer of Kyriacos Ktenas from our club to the Belgians Brussels SC.
We would like to thanks Kyriacos for his contribution to the club and we wish him the best in his new adventure. Kyriacos is a residence of the Belgian capital and so it would be the best for him to play with the local club of Brussels.

Athens Kickers in the world cup

Weekend September 1-2, the world cup of FISTF was played in les Herbiers- Vendees. Two of our players were there. Jaime Silva and Aggelos Tsakiris.

Saturday we had the individual competition. Both of them participated in the open category. Jaime Silva had a group with Kasper Bennett (later on he made it all the way till the final) and the American Zach Walker. Jaime finished second of the group as he lost against Bennett 0-1 and won Walker 2-0.
At the same time Aggelos had in his group Karl Heinz Haider and Carlos Flores (wr no 2). In his first game he draws Haider 1-1. So the last game against Flores was “a matter of live or die”. And the legend of Tsakiris was there. A great victory 1-0 sends him to the next round as top of the group.
So both of them made it to the last 32. Unfortunately both of them didn’t manage to qualify in this section. Jaime lost 1-3 against the Maltese Samuel Bartolo and Aggelos against the Austrian Robert Lenz (who scored the winning goal 2 minutes from time).

Sunday we had the team event. Our players faced one another for a ticket to the semi finals. In quarter finals we had Greece against Portugal. Portugal was the winner and so Jaime gained this fight and the metal. Portugal didn’t manage to go further as they lost in the semis against Malta.
Their individual results in the team event were: Jaime won DeHaas (Holland) 2-1, and lost against Intra (Italy) 1-4, Koutis (Greece) 0-1 and Bartolo (Malta) 0-2. Aggelos won M.Schultz(Germany) 2-0 and lost against Loureiro (Portugal) 0-3

We were there and this was just the beginning of a much promising season.
Go Kickers, Go.

MAJOR OF MATTERSBURG

Sunday August 12 the Austrian Major of Mattersburg was played. A really important tournament as it is the last event before the World Cup of France.
An Athens Kickers player - Giorgos Aggelinas - was there.
He participated in the open category. The draw send him to group 6 alongside with Wolgang Leitner (later on he won the tournament) from Austria and Marco Pinausi from Italy. The first game was against the Italian. Giorgos secured the qualification as he won 3-1 (0-0 ht). At the maentime Pinausi had lost against Leitner 4-1. So the game against Leitner was to be decided who the winner of the group will be. Giorgos didn't make it as he lost 0-3 even if the score at the halftime was 0-0.
So in order to qualify to the last 32 he had to play a barrage game. His opponent was Heinz Eder from Austria. Although that he deserved something better according to many missed chanches he didn't manage to score. So the only one and very late goal that Heinz scored (at the very last second of the game) was enough to disqualify Giorgos.
Anyway the tournament was a very good one, worthly deserved to be a major. It is a tournament that it is a must to be involved in.

Welcome to Athens Kickers SC

We are proud to announce that our team's roster for the season 2007-2008 is at the moment... Aggelos Tsakiris (Gre), Giorgos Aggelinas (Gre), Argyris Poulidis (Gre), Jaime Silva (Por), Sarantis Papidakis (Gre), Marcos Kapsampelis (Gre), Kyriacos Ktenas (Cyp), Fanis Ellinas (Gre). We wish to all players to have a succesful and full of wins season.
