One ... crippled Cup

Before a "crippled" Cup had to start  in the unique for the world position in which 14 of the 16 teams that will participate are known, but also with the probability for another one to be changed as "Iraklis" seeks to take the place of "Asteras" -Tripoli!

A championship including 16 teams ends after 30 rounds. Perhaps in other countries but not in Greece, where tournaments began not in the stadiums but in the courtrooms.

The Superleague rushed to set the beginning of the championship without having signed the relevant announcement of the participating teams! The Greek Football Federation, which determind the referees for a championship, which announcement has not been signed, is also on the verge of violation!

At the same time litigations continue between the teams that drop out either because of the scandal around the pre-arranged games like "Olympiakos"- Volos and "Kavala", or because of the use of false certificates, such as "Iraklis" for example.

Also, lawsuits are expected to increase as football prosecutor has still not started dealing with the majority of cases relating to last year's championships and what happened behind the scenes. Then follow the complaints, arbitration courts and so on.

In the "crippled" and ... vulnerable from a legal point of view Cup, however, the ball must be on the field on Saturday (27/8), even if only 5 games are played as now only 13 teams are eligible to participate. "Οlimpiakos", "ΑΕΚ" and "Panetolikos" have no rival as "Asteras" temporarily lost its place after the rehabilitation of "Iraklis" and the issue of the replacements of "Olympiacos"- Volos and "Kavala" is not yet resolved ( places at which are aiming "Larissa" and "Panseraykos" on the one hand, and "Levadiakos" and "Doxa"- Drama on the other, if ultimately it is decided that teams from group B should replace them).

Thus anyway, based on the program for the first round the games of "Olympiakos" and "AEC", which had to play against "Kavala" and "Olympiakos", Volos, respectively, can not be held, as well as the game of the rookie "Panetolikos" with "Asteras"-Tripoli. Comic but also tragic situations in the Greek football in the year of our Lord 2011 ...
