I forgot to post yesterday, so, I'll do it now. Interesting that all 8 games yesterday ended with under 2.5 goals. I barely can remember such cases.
It was terrible day for me in betting, I hope that today things will be better.

Relegation to Europa league zone?

It seems that they simply took too much and haven't prepared that market will go down that much. When I started to see their ads on all major sports like NBA, NHL, F1, EPL and etc, I was surprised that they have such deep pockets because advertising there cost huge money. Their 20 years deal with arena in L.A. summarize it very well. Everything is fine as long as things in market goes as they planned, but now things doesn't looks so positive.
P.S. OP or admins, please move this topic to Bitcoin Discussion, it has nothing related to gambling.

Arena doesn't belongs to them. Crypto.com just bought naming rights, they won't earn anything from it. Such advertising will cost them $700 million for 20 years.

Maybe because Bitcointalk isn't Reddit? Memes is fun thing, but dedicating whole category for it on Bitcoin forum isn't needed at all. If you have memes, you can post it on dedicated topic which was posted above. Also, even dedicated topic isn't needed. You can post memes on any other topic, but you should feel when it's right time and place to do it. Good example for it is Wall Observer topic.

You know what, I'm playing since 2015, rolling faucet at least few times every day all these years and best that I got was $0.20. Mathematically I had to roll 10000 at least few times, but I didn't even got $2 in 7 years. But I'm not complaining, I'm just not very lucky.

I wish that coffee in my country would be so cheap . Well, you can get 2-3 cups for $2, but I don't think that it can be called coffee.

Offcourse we have. But it mostly cheaters who have mutliple accounts in signature campaigns. I remeber someone even uploaded photo where multiple people sit in office and posting on Bitcointalk like it would be full time job. But with one account in campaign, I doubt that you can enough like it would be full time job, even if you live in poor country.

Allegri - sacked in the morning? I'm surprised that they haven't done it right after the game. Basically, after loss to Maccabi they're out of Champions league. PSG draw with Benfica is result where both teams shouldn't be very disappointed. PSG tried hard to win this game, but I really like how Benfica looks this season so far.
City draw with Copenhagen - no Haaland, no party. Gomez red card also made influence. Borussia didn't managed to beat Sevilla at home, but they almost eliminated them from fight for 2nd place. Seems that Sevilla is heading where they belongs - to Europa league.
Shakhtar were so close from sensation, but very late Rudiger header saved Real from loss and game ended 1:1. And that goal was really painful for him after collision with goalkeeper, Rudiger left pitch whole bloody. Didn't watched Celtic - Leipzig game, but such Celtic loss at home looks very disappointing. Now their chances to reach Europa league playoffs, don't even talk about Champions league is very complicated.

Russia is terrorist state and now Putin aren't even trying to hide it. He admited that today Russia attacked energy and communication infrastructure in most of cities of Ukraine which left people without electricity and water:

And like usual, these ''high precision'' missiles hit apartment buildings, pedestrian bridge, parks, children playgrounds and street:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63199721 Military objects they say.

Most of them are happy about what's happening, in their opinion Putin is doing right thing. They are fighting against nazis, NATO, gays and all other imaginary enemies. To get image about their opinion, it's enough to open some Russian telegram channels and see how russians react to news about killed Ukrainian civilians. Everything is fine for them, as long as they can comment about it on internet or watch propaganda on TV. But now when there is risk to get mobilized, love to mother Russia is gone and now many is running away from Russia to save their asses.

If we will beat Inter and at least not will lose against Real, yeah, everyone will forget Barca performance against Celta. 3 points is only positive thing from this game. They can use injuries as excuse, but even without many players Barca at simply can't let Celta to dominate whole 2nd half.
@Harkorede, I agree that's not Lewandowski fault only that he was invisible, it's rather consequence how Barca played. Like against Bayern, they made so many crosses from wings like we would have not Lewandowski but Peter Crouch in attack.

Back to predictor, I can't beleive how much I'm struggling in La Liga pool and how good I'm doing in Serie A, what should be opposite. Fortunately Elche - Mallorca game ended 1:1 as I predicted and it let me to go by 3 places on the table.

Seems that Italy and England can't be separated . It will be interesting to see their games again. As I understand, draw pots were based not on FIFA rankings, but on Nation League. And it made not very ballanced groups. In some groups there is 2 big teams playing like B or C, and there is some groups without any big teams like G and I.
As I understand, Germany will play friendlies during international windows.

Indded, that was FIA fiasco. Truck on track immediately bring memories of Bianchi tragedy. Seemst that they haven't learned anything or forgot it. They don't allow to race them during rain and elay race by few hours because of it, but it's not problem to release truck before safety car on wet track without much visibility.
Though, penalty for Gasly is right IMO, he really had to slow down.
F1 gave explanation why full points were given, but rules should be more clear, because even if they themselves don't fully know it and moment when they didn't knew whether Max is champion or no was hilarious.
And I didn't even noticed that they finished one lap early.

I don't agree. Perez maybe didn't tried to overtake, but he chased Leclerc, what provoced his mistake. My memory don't works so good that now I would bring specific cases, but I think it's regular practice to give penalty in such cases, even if there is no overtake attempt.
Ferrari didn't even went to appeal this penalty.

That's how terrorist state react to Crimea bridge explosion. Yes, several civilians were killed there, but such things happens every day in Ukraine, and at much bigger scale. We don't even know exaclty what's happening in occupied cities. I'm afraid that with more cities getting deocupied we will see much more terrible things than we saw in Bucha, Izyum and other cities.

Yeah, it's useful PR tool for Russia. Now they can justify hitting civilian infrastructures like apartment buildings, hospitals, schools and etc like it was military object, base of Azov nationalists or secret biological weapons lab.

What a terrible performance from Barcelona. 3 points is only positive thing from this game, but we didn't deserved it. It's unbeleavable that Celta failed to score with so many chances. Lewa was invisible like against Inter. Our recent performance in few last games is really concerning before crucial game with Inter and El Clasico next week.

Just now i noticed your post. I also believe that they're going to bounce back. I really like Sampaoli as coach.

Easy win for Max and now he won his 2nd champion title is hilarious. But the way they announced it is hilarious. First they announce it on post race interview, later they probably didn't figured out whether full or 50% points will be awarded and in rest room it was said that Max isn't champion yet. And finally after awards were given, here comes Button to announce that Max is champion.
I already thought that race won't happen and we will have another Spa. Fortunately, we saw race. But it's almost impossible to overtake in Suzuka in such conditions and without DRS.
And finally GOATifi gets his first 2 points this season. And he deserved it today.
It would be something unbeleavable if he wouldn't received penalty for cutting corner and gaining advantage.

Today morning I haven't checked news and when my father told me that Crimea bridge got destroyed, I thought that he is joking. But damn, that was nice birthday gift and fireworks for Putin.
Now I remember words of drunk clown Dimon Medvedev about judgement day if Ukraine will attack Crimea. Or nothing didn't happened again?
This attack tells a lot about quality of Crimea bridge. Look at Antonivka bridge in Kherson. Ukraine bombing it with HIMARS for few months. It got damaged significantly, but it's still standing. While after one big explosion, part of Crimea bridge decided to leave Russian Federation and join Black Sea. I'm wondering how much money were stolen when they were building this bridge.

Not bad day for away underdogs. Two big upsets in Group G where Slavia lost to Cluj @9.00 and Sivasspor defeated 3:4 by Ballkani @7.50 in amazing game with late drama. Now all teams in this group have 4 points.
Partizan win is also worth to mention.
 @casperBGD, @Joca97, congrats with your Partizan win. Very important step for spot in next round. But damn, this group is very complicated. I even wouldn't write-off Slovacko yet.

It's still big mistery for me why bookmakers favoured Roma against Betis that much. Betis looking very solid so far and they're similar level team like Roma. I more expected draw from this game and had BTTS here.
I already said in qualifiers, but I repeat again, something is wrong with Olympiacos this season. Now they lost 0:3 at home against Qarabag. Now they have 0 points after 3 games and 1:8 goals.
Union took win against Braga 1:2 after scoring 2 lates goals and now they're leading group with 9 points.

So, return to Suzuka for the first time since 2019, and potentially wet race. I missed this track. IIRC, last time when we had race here, there was typhoon or something and both qualifying and race were held on Sunday after qualifying got postponed. I hope this time such things wont happen.
Only thing I hate about Japanese GP that I will have to get up early on weekend to watch it

So, even Haas or Williams don't want to sign him or he don't want to go there? 3rd driver maybe is better than nothing, but I doubt that's good step.

Yeah, I remember that Ocon and Perez had several accidents during season which gave lot of headache for Force India team. Having Ocon as teammate isn't easy and considering not best relationship between him and Gasly is concerning thing. Usually, such things don't end well for the team.

It already becomes tradition, Russian army ''liberates'' Zaitseve village every month. C'mon, Konashnenkov, put some creativity into your work, you're starting to repeat too often.


Russia doesn't cares about their troops and threats them worse than animals - surprises, surprise. And winter is coming. But who needs quality when they have quantity, that's Russian logic

Seems that I had too good opinion about Milan, but they were awful today.
Benfica 1:1 PSG. Expected PSG to win, but Benfica gave good fight and probably result of game isn't surprising. And I think it's not bad result for both if you look at table.
Sevilla continue to amaze me how low they can go and Lopetegui isn't sacked still. Down 0:3 in 1st half and 2nd half becomes meaningless.
In other games everything as expected.

Nice to have some more depth discussion where people have completely different views.
1. In recent seasons Barca had quite many overhyped and overrated players, but that's definitely not Pedri or Gavi. But I don't really like when media trying to call someone new Messi, Xavi or Iniesta.
About 2. and 3. I don't have answer. I don't really like conditional questions "what if". For me that's pointless predictions.
@igehhh, c'mon, Pique and Alba were removed from starting 11 after first game of season with Rayo and now aren't getting much time to play. Personally, I don't mind them having such role.
And I don't like judging players blindly looking at stats, especially when we talk about midfielders. Stats like goals and assists isn't main factor. More specific stats matters like correct passes, ball touches, pressures and etc.
