After so many upsets already, it would be difficult to impress me somehow. Comfortable Cadiz win tomorrow? Why not, considering that they're not playing against top team.

Yeah, there is lot of things around him outside the pitch and recent time wasn't easy for him, what reflected on the pitch. But I expected that he will will leave after season or maybe during Wolrd Cup break.

Roma fans have reason to celebrate. Their team reached next round after difficult win against Ludogorets and their main rival Lazio got eliminated. What a performance by Zaniolo - two earned penalties and fantastic goal.
Group F remained to be fantastic until very end. All 4 teams got 8 points, can't remember anything similar. Feyenoord and Midtjylland goes to next round, Lazio and Sturm got eliminated because H2H results.
I already said many times, but I'm amazed how terrible Olympiacos become. They used to play decent in Champions league and now they end last in Europa league group with just 2 points and now another loss against Nantes at home 0:2. They squad doesn't look that bad.

Lech destroyed Villarreall 3:0. And probably such result isn't very surprising. Villarreal already had 1st place, while for Lech it was do or die game and after this win they go the next round.
Partizan managed stay 2nd after draw with Slovacko. Fortunately for them Koln - Nice game ended 2:2 and it means to Koln got eliminated.
Club from my country Zalgiris got eliminated by Slovan after loss at home 1:2. Sad, but in general, they had decent performance, considering that was their debut in group stage.
Slavia eliminated after group stage, that's big disappontment.

I don't even argue whether his words is is right or no and I don't think that Ted should apologize for his words, that's his opinion after all. My point that Sky coverage is just so biased, when they're supposed to be neutral.. It wouldn't be problem if they would broadcast for UK only - it's normal to support your driver. But problem that they're covering F1 for most part of English speaking world like US, Australia, South Africa and etc. F1 TV streaming service also using their feed

Offcourse that I'm in! Sent PM with tx id. Thank you guys for another great pool and Sportsbet for generous support.

Do you really think that destroying critical infrastructure of Ukraine will result that there won't be any Ukraine left to save? It's more like desperate attempt to do something when they haven't achieved something in front for last few months.
And with every new attack, less missiles and Shahed's reach it's targets. Ukraine finally is getting more modern air defense systems like IRIS-T, though it's not enough.

Probably you saw this weekend Gerard Pique will have last game in Barcelona. Such news is unexpected, considering that we didn't even reached middle of season and I'm wondering what's the reason behind such decision.
Few recent seasons weren't easy, I said lot of bad words about him, but after all, he is legend of Barcelona and he done a lot for the club.

Personally, this change is good, probably because games for me starts one hour later than in your timezone. And when game ends something like 1 AM and I have to go to work next day, it's not that easy. And offcourse, referee have to add something like 10 minutes extra time, Spanish referees likes to do it.
And local fans who attend stadiums also don't like such late games. I remember that before pandemic there was some protests against Monday night football and league for some time didn't had games on Monday then.

Not much what to say about today's games. Milan had very comfortable win in decisive game against Salzburg. Giroud reminded aboutt himself with 2 goals.
Other games didn't had much importance in general.
EDIT Benfica managed to take 1st place from PSG. Both teams collected 14 points, their goal difference 16:7, both H2H games ended 1:1. So, away goals were used as tie-breaker and here Benfica leads 9:6. Very interesting situation.

Yeah, Dortmund ruined things a bit for me, but I can't complain, it was really profitable day for me. And when it come to Dortmund, such result isn't that surprising, considering their situation in group.
Though, things aren't going so well in pool for me...

@Betwrong, you're having some great luck in recent days. First 5000 Reward Points and now 5 Golden Tickets. Congrats. I also wish to get from WoF something more than basic 50 Satoshi rewards. Now 500 Satoshi (or tickets/reward points) is extremely rarely for me and I can't remember when I got 5000 Satoshi worth reward last time.

I think it's a bit unfair that one dude got chance to change his name twice, while this request is ignored (same like Pmalek's 30 questions for theymos )
Anyway, even if you'll change name, you still will be The Pharmacist for me, same like TheBeardedBaby is still iasenko in my head. I'm and some other people have such habbit when some company, shop, restaurant or whatever change their name, we still calling them with old one. Especially if old version is shorter or easier to remember.

Maybe theymos don't like new username of The Pharmacist and prefer current one and this is why he don't change it

Why do you think that such subforum is needed? We all know that Craig Wright is Satoshi. Ok, now seriously, this question appears on Bitcointalk sometimes, but such board isn't needed at all. You think that's Robert Tappan Morris, other people have different predictions. But what's the point of it when nobody won't be able to prove that they're right. It's just pointless speculation.

If that game would be very important, I'd expect that PSG will simply destroy Juventus. Now I think that they simply will win. Though, it's still fight for 1st place in group, Benfica will face Haifa. I'm not really sure who will finish higher if PSG and Benfica will have same points because both games between these teams ended 1:1.
Waiting for Milan win. Remaining games today is meaningless. City - Sevilla probably won't be very exciting, City is without Haaland and their squad isn't fully main.

Simeone resign himself? Considering how much money he is getting in Madrid, I think it's very unlikely to happen, he would be iditiot if he would do that.
Well, obviously both Scottish clubs were beyond champions league level this season. IIRC, they have two clubs in Champions league after very long break. Celtic qualified as champions, while Rangers unexpected eliminated PSV. But in general, level of their league is far from what they had in best times.

I have no idea why I wrote Dinamo Zagreb Anyway, Leipzig have easy game against Shakhtar. 0:4 with 10 minutes remaining. These stats tell a lot about game:

Real destroying Celtic 5:0. Both Rangers and Celtic performance in Champions league, difficult to find right word to describe it. Level of their club football in a nutshell.

There is just 2 gomes today which really matters. It's Milan - Dinamo Zagreb and Shakhtar - Leipzig. In first game I'm backing Milan and I think that nobody won't understand if they will lose tonight. In other game I would like to see Shakhtar winning, but there isn't many logical reasons to back them. It will be very difficult for Shakhtar to repeat what they done in first game with Leipzig, where they left no chances for their opponents.

Didn't saw this game, I watched ending of Mrseille - Spurs game which probably was even more dramatic. Intracht indeed isn't the flashiest team, but now they showed that they won Europa league last season not without a reason. And this group was real hell until very final minutes.

I don't think that Merit stuff should be monetized. When people become Merit sources, I doubt that they had expectations to get rewarded for their job. Don't understand me wrong, giving BTC rewards for merit sources isn't something fundamnetally wrong, but I just don't think that this stuff should be about money.
As @decodx, efforts of people who fight with spam isn't smaller, why not to reward them? Or someone who expose scams? Yeah, I know that scams isn't moderated, but merit system isn't moderated too.

That's something new, I'm interested to try. It will be interesting how it will work. As I understand, we have to answer questions before each round in Google forms and then you with Trofo will manually count results. World Cup will have very intensive calendar with 4 group games played each day and some games will start quite early. So, there won't be that much time to fill questions. And it require a bit more time than making score predictions on Superbru . But prize pot is worth efforts.
Anyway, I still would like to play classic pool where we predict scores on Superbru (or kicktipp). I already can't imagine big football tournament without it .

I'm in

Atletico kicked out from Champions league last week and now they got eliminated from Europa league playoffs. But still, I don't think it's likely that Simeone will be sacked for such fiasco. While Brugge after draw with Bayer didn't managed to keep 1st place.
Rangers is another pathetic team - 0 points, 2 goals scored, 22 conceded. Together with terrible Celtic performance it summarize level of Scottish football very well. Ajax didn't looked well in Champions league, but I think they can make some noise in Europa league.
Saw only last minutes of Marseille - Spurs game and I managed to catch that late drama. Goal on 95th minute and win let Spurs to take 1st place in group and avoid potentially stronger opponent in round of 16. Marseille ends in last place, but it was such equal group.

These late goals really ruined things for me. After early games I managed to go up by 12 place to 7th position I think. After late games I'm back to 19th place. Everything looked fine until Liverpool scored twice in the end where I needed draw. And Spurs offcourse had to score on 95th minute where 1:1 would be my exact prediction.
Champions league is that kind of tournament where it will be much more difficult to improve your positions after group stage simply because there will be significantly less games played after it.
Atletico out not just from Champions league, but they won't even go to Europa league. Pathetic.
Watched meaningless Plzen - Barca game. And I didn't expected that it will be so entertaining. And I'm not even concerned that Barca let Plzen to score twice. We didn't played with our main squad.
IMO, Sporting this season is Europa league tier. Anyway, it was very interesting group until very end, despite that level of it was more like Europa league

Liverpool - Napoli game should be very interesting. Both teams are in next round, but it will be fight for 1st place. I'm not really surewhat bet to put on this game. BTTS or over 2.5 odds isn't very attractive.
In other game of group Rangers will face Ajax. Both teams is looking terrible in Champions league, but Ajax is better team on paper and they are capable to win there.
In group D situation is very interesting. All 4 teams still have chances to reach next round. I expect draw in Marseille - Spurs game, but I never bet on draw. Sporting - Eintracht, I don't have much faith in Sporting this season, they're struggling a lot. So, here I go with BTTS.
I think that I'll go with Porto win against Atletico, they're looking better and play at homere where they lose very rarely. Unless they face Brugge . Bayer - Brugge, I pick Over 2.5 goals here, rather than going with Neverkusen win.
