We were terrible in the first half, but after some subs we were much better in the second half. We needed this one, now we must win against Italy. Really interesting to see who will be in our first 11 in that game. Brozović is by far the worst player so far, playing in Arabia is not the same as playing in top leagues and it shows.

Not buying it. It seems team Igebotz has gotten a Division 1 ranking in the initial season over mafia connections and has been in free fall all that time. Now that relegation to Div 3 is imminent club manager is abandoning a sinking ship.

We will need to check some stats but could be that team Igebotz is a club with the worst results since BSFL came into existence

Turkey scoring some real screamers yesterday. If you guys didn't see those goals, search them up, they are well worthy of your time.

Not really happy with my Round 1 score, but still trusting most of the players, Round 2 will be better hopefully.

Lukaku giving out pure Darwin vibes, missing chances left and right and then scoring screemers when VAR has enough to eule them out.

If I knew you have him I would have looked elsewhere for striker points 

Winning any other way means just that, winning in any manner that isn't covered with previous option. Hope it is clear. Rikafip gave more detailed explanation while I was writing this. But leaving it here to make it official.

With rebuys you keep all your points. Wouldn't make much sense otherwise.

Thanks jayce for covering my abysmal performance 1 point and safe already

Seems like there will not be many people kicked out in the first round. Hopefully, we will get some re-buys to get the party going properly. Good luck guys.

I believe it says so in most questions but your point is well taken and we will make sure all the questions have it in the future. I am thinking everyone is looking at the odds when answering so they know the games as well 

Belgium really looked bad today. Much worse than I expected. They were never the best defense but these players today had big problems with Slovakia.

Maybe their biggest problem is that every Slovakian player always knew what they would try to play. One dimensional game, either a pass attempt from De Bruyne or giving the ball to Doku and waiting to see what he will do. Granted, those two are among the best in the world at what they do, but they still need help from other players to make space for their magic.

You woke up after I already relegated you in my articles Last, last chance to change your fortune.

My next article will be a bit later this week so I can write about Round 1 from LMS in it as well.

Not so clear cut, questions are such that doing well or poor in one round means almost nothing for future.

Also re-buy costs 0.5mBTC in group stage while it is much more expensive later on. For instance I don't care about 0.5 much and I would rebuy for sure while paying 5mBTC in semi final is serius money and I would do it only if I am doing well.

I was hurt most with Germany conceding, had double their defense and that would have been nice. Still did not get any player that actually scored a goal but those ball recovery points are ticking along just fine.

Now time for one of my big hitters to actually do something.

Payments for week 105 have been sent.

Sorry for the small delay guys, I was out the whole day and just got home.

That will probably change by the end of the round, still many questions to come.

Everyone who gets kicked has an option to rebuy. I don't expect all to take it though. Some are here just for free ride while it lasts.

Šta nitko čak i kada je EURO u tijeku i igra Hrvatska? Dobro nije bio neki rezultat ali opet možemo barem tu pičkarati po igračima i davati svoju kandidaturu za izbornika.

Moj omiljeni dio jučer je bio kada je Samovojska prije utakmice opleo po Fabianu Ruizu, kaže gledam ga u PSG i ne radi ništa, onaj mali pored njega je dobar ali on nije igrač te kvalitete. I onda nas čovjek potopi u prvom poluvremenu i vrti naše obrambene kako hoće. Da sam mu ja bio u studiju, nema šanse da ga ne bi pitao nešto u stilu "Kažeš onaj mali Ruiz je loš a?"

We didn't calculate it but we gave it a lot of thought and we believe that 2 rebuys are probably worth it, the third one could be overdoing it since by then you probably don't have a realistic shot at winning.

Re-buy after Round 1 is worth it for sure, questions are such that nobody is guaranteed points, we are not asking ML here for big favorites. So even if you have 0 in the first round you could make that up. Judging by BSFL there shouldn't be anybody with more than 6 or 7 correct and those people will rotate over the rounds.

Make a suggestion but we are probably keeping it like this since it was announced at the begging. I wanted to award first place with decent amount and then dish out several nice prizes.

I am interested to hear your suggestion, maybe it is that good that we implemnet it but as I said probably for some future pools since I don't like changing stuff once it starts.

We played like shit agreed, but you have to admit that we created several good chances against Spain while playing like shit. That is a positive for sure. Several players were totally out of game today. Modric was bad for his standards, our center backs looked a bit impressed by occasion, Brozovic looks out of the game often.....

38 goals

Well it is stupid to talk about stats when you loose 3:0 but on another day this would have finished very differently. Croatia created more xG, had more possession and more shots then Spain. Problem was Spain scored 3 goals from 2 good chances and we scored none from several. Who knows how would the game looked like if we scored one of those. Maybe it would have given us the wings or maybe Spain would be more serious in second half.

It is good for us to get reality check here and there. And while I am writing this, Albania just scored 

EURO 2024 FANTASY POOL is now officially closed

There is 18 of us, that means 18 * 1.5 = 27 mBTC
One tx is yet to be confirmed and one player still has to pay. He promised it will be on 17th latest.

I talked with icopress and we will have 18mBTC sponsorship which is those 1200$ that were mentioned before.

That means we should have 45 mBTC for rewards which will be split in following way. Of course if something unexpected happens it will get adjusted.
1 - 21 mBTC - fees are paid from this reward
2 - 12 mBTC
3 - 8 mBTC
4 - 4 mBTC

By the way seems like nobody reads the OP or my initial post. Percentages mentioned there come to 110% so I had to adjust it a bit
