not superstars anymore huh? Paphiti mou, we've beaten some of the best teams in the world including Zenit, Shacktar, Lyon and Porto. We've drawn away with Chelsea. We're an island of 800k inhabitants and Apoel does not play for a crowd of less than 12,000 for local league and 23,000 for CL. Stop doing this to yourself.
This is what you said in your opening post.....
They are worth mega bucksWe've now seen that the APOEL squad is worth more. DO you ever get tired of being wrong?
They are superstars alright. Any team that has current Brazilian International players is big. They also play pretty damn hard which is not surprising when you have the House of Saud sitting on the bench.
Stop the stupidities and send Apoel down to play at the MCG in front of 100,000 to see who really is the best. Chicken shit!
Firstly you mushroom tripping Ozzie they're NOT current Brazilian internationals! They got called up 7 times for the U 23 team in 2008!!!
Secondly I can't send Apoel half way across the world to play some backwater friendly while we have a game with Barcelona, Ajax and Paris St Germain next month along with important league games. Sorry mate, but teams like Apoel have a pretty blocked schedule thats decided 12 months in advance. We might have an opening for you next summer when we get back from Boston for our summer friendlies with Roma and Liverpool.
Read again! He has represented Brazil 7 times!

And really DT! If you did send them half way across the world to play someone like Melbourne Victory or Melbourne City, there would be 30,000 odd thousand fans that would support Apoel. That is what Aussies are like. The Greek Community will be out in force. Is that how much respect Apoel has for the Diaspora? You would have a great time too, regardless of losing (which you will). When they walk out on the hallowed G most of your players will be bought to tears like Liverpool.
What makes you better than Manchester City or Liverpool that have announced they will be touring Australia every year now? Are you better than them? Really?
And what kind of backwater are you talking about? The A League is no backwater let me give you the tip. When games are telecast live to Europe then there is obviously a demand. Do they do that for Apoel games? I don't think so.
