ST - Alex Zidane (France) (100)
ST - Stacey Papaleo (England) (100)

Key Players: Alex Zidane is highly influentul in a "False 9" role, While Stacey Papaleo has racked up 63 goals this season.

Richard Keyes: I'm looking forward to this game it should be a cracker as were the 2 games between these sides that seen a 1-1 draw at July Fourth before ΠΑΟΚ winning 1-0 in the second game. July Fourth need to stop the attacking threat of Fredy Cala and Hernan Meulens should he feature, but they have R.McNamara, Holvoet and Importantly Novotny, Like-Wise July Fourth have 6 attacking players in their team that can score goals and that will keep the ΠΑΟΚ defence very busy, I view the ΠΑΟΚ defence as their weakside and I feel Papaleo will be a major problem for greek side.

Match Odds: July Fourth 11/8, Draw 9/4, ΠΑΟΚ 15/8
To Lift The Trophy: July Fourth 8/11, ΠΑΟΚ 11/10

First Goalscorer:
Stacey Papaleo (July Fourth) 7/2
Fredy Cala (ΠΑΟΚ) 9/2
Alex Zidane (July Fourth) 6/1
Hernan Meulens (ΠΑΟΚ) 7/1

Hopefully in the next few hours when the 2 teams arrive, we can get a view from some of the personnel involved.

1 hour to go to kick-off and the teams are here and will be coming out to train on a very famous football pitch, Home of Manchester United, The most successful team in english football (but still disputed by a lot of Liverpool fans.) and also host to many england internationals as well as a Champions League final back in 2003, We have the July Fourth player-manager here...

Q: "Just how big is this football match for July Fourth?"
A: "It's the biggest night of this clubs history, and it dwarfs the final from 2 seasons ago that we lost 4-0, this final we actually have a great chance of lifting the trophy, last time it was different, everybody expected us to lose and lose by a lot and 20 minutes into that game it was over, I was so delighted that Zidane got our very important goal that got us here, the whole team just wanted to cause an 11-man pile-up, but we must not get too excited because there is still this final, I'm expecting this game to be 50-50 all the way and one chance could win it for us or them, but I'm really looking forward to the game."

And not forgetting the ΠΑΟΚ Coach:

Q:"ΠΑΟΚ come here with a great chance to their 6th cup... can you do it?"
A:We have a good chance of winning too, but July Fourth are a big threat to us and we expect it to be a very tough game for us, last season we were very disappointed to lose on penalties in the final after a 3-3 draw and we want go one better and win the cup for our fans."

Theres been a large uptake of 48,000 July Fourth fans for this game, around 15,000 ΠΑΟΚ have expected to have made the trip from greece, with the remainder of the seats been taken up by corporate schemes. Old Trafford is expected to be full and rocking for this major encounter.
