Mossou Writes: 'Death Skulls, Eagles, and War Cries: A Stadium Can Hardly Be More Intimidating'

AD29 September · 17:1556 min ago

AD columnist Sjoerd Mossou describes the intimidating atmosphere surrounding PAOK's Toumba stadium in Thessaloniki ahead of Greece's match against the Netherlands. He notes the venue's dilapidated state, covered in graffiti featuring skulls and eagles, contrasting it with the similarly aged but cosmetically maintained Rajko Mitic stadium in Belgrade where the Netherlands plays Serbia. Mossou also reports on the historic financial scandal involving Manchester City, which was found guilty of 114 serious financial violations, calling it the largest scandal in international football history.
