Hi All and special welcome to our guest from Greece!
Hopefully this thread will attract some of the Panathinaikos fans so we can discuss the odds of our favorite teams and who is going through to the next round.
Again some general information on Panathinaikos FC can be found on the wiki. Furthermore Panathinaikos FC have a good official English website.
Code:
Panathinaikos F.C. (Greek: Π.Α.Ε. Παναθηναϊκός), also known as P.A.O. (Π.Α.Ο.), is a Greek professional football club based in Athens, Greece. Founded in 1908, they play in the Super League Greece and are one of the oldest and most successful clubs in Greek football history. They have won 19 Greek championship titles, 16 Greek Cups and in 1971 they reached the European Champion Clubs' Cup final.
Panathinaikos F.C. was the amateur football department of Panathinaikos Athlitikos Omilos multi-sport club (Παναθηναϊκός Αθλητικός Όμιλος), the Pan-Athenian Athletic Club, from which the club's other name, P.A.O., derives. In 1979 the department became professional and independent. They have played their home games in a number of fields, most significantly in Apostolos Nikolaidis Stadium, which is considered as their traditional home stadium, and in Athens Olympic Stadium. In 2008 the club announced the signing of a contract for the construction of its new stadium, Votanikos Arena, the project is due to begin in the summer of 2008 and end until 2010.
I believe not as strong as Inter but still.
