I have never supported any individual Cypriot team except the National Team, but this is good news for Cyprus. Congratulations to APOEL. :lol:

This part needs to be highlighted for GR's benefit: :lol:

So of course, Barcelona and Real Madrid, Manchester United and Chelsea, Inter Milan and Fiorentina, were panting to see what the draw brings them. So, too, is Apoel Nicosia.

The Cypriot team is there on merit — more so than some of the English, Spanish, German, Italian clubs that are not even champions in their own lands. Apoel is a champion, 20 times over, on a divided island with a total population of less than 900,000.

How romantic... if only the author knew that half of APOEL players are foreigners!

GR! being the incompetent fool that he is when it comes to football has no idea that compared to most teams in Cyprus and most teams in EUrope APOEL has one of the highest concentration of home grown talent in uefa.
Don't even compare to his beloved Anorthosis that has a total of 1 Cypriot player playing for it in the starting 11 and had NO Cypriots playing for it in most of their games in the Champions League last year.

Oh well, it seems we'll shoot our mouth off even when we know nothing about something anyway. :roll:
