Great tournament this year!
Unfortunately, A.C. Halsted lost in the final, but we had a great run and really enjoyed being there and playing verse some very good competition. |

Εληξε το 5ο ελληνικό τουρνουά του Σικάγου
Του Δημήτρη Τσάκα - http://www.ekirikas.com/article/68919 ![]() ΝΕΑ ΥΟΡΚΗ. Οι ποδοσφαιρικές ομάδες «Toronto Hellas Football Club» από το Τορόντο, η «Olympic Flame ‘Alexander The Great’» από το Σκάρσμπορο του Οντάριο, καθώς επίσης και η ομάδα «PAOK Hellas» από το Τορόντο του Καναδά στέφθηκαν πρωταθλήτριες του 5ου τουρνουά ελληνικού ποδοσφαίρου που διεξήχθη την Παρασκευή, το Σάββατο και την Κυριακή στα γήπεδα του Ολύμπικ Παρκ, στο Σιάμπουργκ του Ιλινόις. Το τουρνουά, όπως έγραψε ο «Ε.Κ.», διοργανώθηκε από την ιστοσελίδα www.Greeksoccer.com και κατά κοινή ομολογία ήταν μεγαλύτερο και το πιο επιτυχημένο. Σ’ αυτό συμμετείχαν 23 ομάδες από τις διάφορες πολιτείες των ΗΠΑ και του Καναδά. Ο αριθμός των ποδοσφαιριστών, των προπονητών, των αρχηγών των ομάδων, καθώς επίσης και των διαιτητών, όπως επεσήμανε στον «Ε.Κ.» ο κ. Γιάννης Κοσμάς, ξεπέρασε τους πεντακόσιους. Οι καιρικές συνθήκες, αν εξαιρέσει κανείς το βράδυ της Παρασκευής ήταν ιδανικές και ευνόησαν τόσο τους ποδοσφαιριστές, όσο και τους θεατές που παρακολούθησαν τους αγώνες. Ολες οι ομάδες ήταν καλά προετοιμασμένες και αυτό αποδεικνύεται και από το γεγονός ότι τόσο στον ημιτελικό όσο και στον τελικό της κατηγορίας «Men’s open Competitive» υπήρξε ισοπαλία και οι νικήτριες αναδείχτηκαν στα πέναλτι. Ο τελικός αγώνας μεταξύ της «Toronto Hellas Football Club» από το Τορόντο του Καναδά και της «Hellas Soccer Club» από το Γουίνιπεγκ της Μανιτόμοπα έληξε σε ισοπαλία 2-2 και κέρδισε το Τορόντο 7-6 στα πέναλτι. Στον ημιτελικό της ίδιας κατηγορίας αναμετρήθηκαν η «Hellenic United Athletic Club» από το Σικάγο με την «Windsor Hellenic Football Club» από το Γουίντσορ του Καναδά. Και αυτός ο αγώνας έληξε ισόπαλος και κέρδισε στα πέναλτι η καναδέζικη ομάδα. O τελικός της κατηγορίας «Men’s Open Recreational» μεταξύ της «Olympic Flame ‘Alexander The Great’» από το Σκάρσμπορο του Οντάριο και της «Athletic Club Halsted» από το Σικάγο έληξε 3-1. Στην κατηγορία των Ανδρών Ανω των 40 κέρδισε η «PAOK Hellas» του Τορόντο η οποία συμμετείχε για πρώτη φορά στο τουρνουά. Η απονομή των επάθλων έγινε το βράδυ της Κυριακής κατά την διάρκεια της ειδικής τελετής που πραγματοποιήθηκε στο Ολύμπικ Παρκ και η οποία είχε πανηγυρικό χαρακτήρα. Ο κ. Γιάννης Κοσμάς μιλώντας στον «Ε.Κ.» εξέφρασε την ικανοποίησή του για την επιτυχία του τουρνουά και συνεχάρη τους ποδοσφαιριστές για τις επιδόσεις τους. ![]() Στην αναμνηστική φωτογραφία διακρίνονται οι ποδοσφαιριστές και οι προπονητές της «PAOK Hellas» του Τορόντο η οποία συμμετείχε για πρώτη φορά στο τουρνουά και ανακηρύχτηκε πρωταθλήτρια. ![]() Η ποδοσφαιρική ομάδα «Olympic Flame "Alexander The Great» από το Σκάρσμπορο του Οντάριο η οποία αναδείχτηκε πρωταθλήτρια στην κατηγορία των «Men’s Open Recreational» ![]() Η ποδοσφαιρική ομάδα «Toronto Hellas Football Club» του Τορόντο, η οποία νίκησε την «Hellas Soccer Club» από το Γουίνιπεγκ της Μανιτόμοπα και αναδείχτηκε πρωταθλήτρια στο ?Men’s open Competitive». -------------------- |

Everything was good, real good. Even the weather was the best ever .
There were some complaints about the number of games teams had to play ( 6 for us over 40 guys ) so many were tired but I think that that should not change going forward. Its up to the individual teams to find big enough squads to handle the 3 day schedule. Refs were good also and we should not use how some individuals react to a bad call as an indication that anything might be wrong with the officiating. Only annoying thing is that again a few teams did not bother to play on the last day as I believe 2 games had to be postponed ( might be wrong with that ) but it was an improvement over last year. Overall, brilliant job again Yianni, great tournament ! Every person I spoke to ( player, coach, fan, visitor etc ) all had nice, complimenatry things to say. |

Noone has any comments/feedback/the good/the bad/the ugly/ for the tourney? Weather - perfect Format - 1 Friday, 2 Saturday and 2 Sunday good. Plus continue with the late day/evening games - works well. The bottom line, though, is it's up to each team to fill their roster to handle this tournament and sub accordingly - manage the process. Refs - best yet. Linesmen worked in my view. UGLY/EMBARRASSING - teams not showing up. IF you commit to this tournament, then you should play the games. It's a slap in the face to the other teams who pay and show up. In our Open Division, we had two teams who basically quit and that's unacceptable - just don't have them back next year. Otherwise, this may have been the best one yet in terms of folks not bitching, etc. Everyone had fun, played well and enjoyed themselves from what I can tell. Nice job! |

Thanks to Yianni and all the staff who worked hard over the weekend. Everything was well organized and went according to plan. The tournament was eventful, fun, competitive, and overall a great experience.
Me and the rest of the boys (Olympic Flame 'Alexander the Great') from Toronto had a great time at both the tournament and in downtown Chicago where we were stationed. Great city, great food, great hospitality. The only negative I can think of was playing almost all games on zero sleep and coming straight from the bars but hey, aside from a little ponokefalo no problems Ah yes, the trophy was a nice touch as well, ![]() Hope to be back next year. Until then gs.com will have to do -------------------- "Those who are willing to sacrifice freedom for security, deserve neither and will lose both" "For the sake of historical truth I must verify that only the Greeks, of all the adversaries who confronted us, fought with bold courage and highest disregard of death." -A.Hitler |

congrats to all who participated in this years tourney. As to coach Greekaus who insists on supporting the red side of Liverpool and. to the players of gs.com, please accept my apologies for not showing up, as I had to make my move to Kastoria unexpectedly sooner than I had planned.

YGG, that was a great final game we played! Very eventful, and although you guys beat us, we had a great time getting to that stage.
I'd have to say, best memory was the penalty kicks vs Hellenic United "Blue". |
