yeah, my Thursday morning is almost as work, filling in all pools that I take part (5 at the moment)
and additionally, there is Tuesday morning for Champions league, it does seems as work

and started with three misses on Friday , tried to push Schalke, but they are obviously one-season back into Bundesliga, not going to make for two with this play, 0:3 at home is really a booger

yeah, especially with Porto, he won Champions league with them, and it was mere a miracle to see them winning CL
and it was based on parked bus mostly

but nevertheless, Conference league is lower quality competition, and parking bus against Slavia is much easier task, than parking bus in front of United attack

yeah, what a score, Monaco was't bad at all, but they fall apart after conceiving second goal, and ended up badly for them

Ferencvaros won over Zvezda, to secure third win, and with 9 points they are close to next round, Monaco and Trabzon have 6, Zvezda just 3

Lazio was only smug in later termin, all other favorites came as expected, Sociedad, Union, PSV

with current form, I really cannot imagine some team challenging their position in Europa league
but, it is a long season after all, and same looked for Barca last year, their form was in upper direction, but they eventually were knocked in epic match by Eintracht

nevertheless, I like to watch Europa league, and especially Europa conference, since that is the level for smaller clubs, and most of European clubs that I support (Everton, Valencia, Leverkusen, Cagliari, Auxxere), but also domestic as Partizan, are in that category

group was strong, but we should not forget that last year group was also solid, and they were marvelous, this season they are simply playing worse
but, Europa league should be secured, Rangers is too low (really shame, bearing in mind being so close to Europa league trophy last season)

PSV and Feyenoord have solid chances to secure next stage in Europa league as well, while AZ almost secured next stage in Conference, holding Dutch football above level

agree, they already qualified for next round, and keeping 0:1 is smart play
Freiburg demolished Nantes, and Nantes will have hard time to qualify for next stage, as well as Roma, after draw with Betis, all depend on Ludogorets tonight

Rennes and Fenerbahce are first pair to secure their knock-off competition

we did it another time, 2:0 home win against Koeln, and 6 points from these two matches, must say that I did not looked forward to more than 3 points
with these points, we need just to beat Slovacko at home to qualify no matter other results, and away match with Nice, great position, bearing in mind Nice and Koeln in the group

it was a firework before the match, and that usually end-up with losing points, but this time was different

keeping fingers crossed for Slovacko to take at least point in France, Nice is playing under1.5

Brugge did not conceived goal in four matches, cannot believe

Barca is close to be out, 2:2 at the moment

what about Salah, three goals in five minutes? and Liverpool is on 6, there is ten minutes more, maybe they can put something more


to quote myself, Marseille it is, Sporting did not stand a chance

I would argue that it is pointless to bet against Napoli these days, but the outcome is the same, skipping this one in my bets
it is 2:0 already

Atletico is still goalless, is Brugge that good, or all these teams in their group are just bananas

in the end, main bet will be once again Marseille, they need to win, and Sporting had their show, now is the time to connect loses in a row

yeah, until you join European competition, you are good to go
it is bad of you slip too much levels, and than could not qualify for Europe at all

overall, interesting round, five draws, four 1:1 results in CL is simply unexpected, although Dinamo finished as realistic as possible

today is another sitty day, but Liverpool should be good enough to win in Glasgow, Tottenham as well, but not sure that I will put them on my ticket

maybe Inter not-to-lose is a good bet, have some value on this odds

Marseille not lose is also good value, although BTTS is better

Benfica is slowing down after marvelous season start, and PSG is value pick IMO, will go with -1 handicap

what about Juventus, they need win, probably more than Liverpool, and playing Haifa, whose top scorer played last season in France second league, seems as real chance for them to stay in touch and try to win in Lisbon for next stage

Chelsea is a good value as well, they are back in form, and Milan is not showing strength in CL

edit: as it now stands, with Juve down, and City 0:0, there is no points in the pool after two matches, cannot say that similar situation happened before

you gave me a good idea to use Free Hit for GW12, it is either that or go into solid minus

two slow round for me, and sliding a lot, missing Haaland and keeping Salah is obviously worst possible tactics with this type of point system

will put TAA out from the team as well, there is a line for transfers out

Muriqi has done everything last night, missed a penalty, scored a goal from penalty spot hour later and got red card in the end, there are players that do not have that much done in half season

Elche is drawing into Segunda fast, they will need real miracle after WC to get back into fight, since I cannot see them in winning strike

in Superbru there is at least wooden spoon
interesting round in Bundesliga, late goal by Dortmund to draw with Bayern, and while Freiburg hit draw in Berlin, Union Berlin won in Stuttgart, taking the lead

nice to see Werder in top5, good old times
but rough to see Leverkusen being down, hopefully this 4:0 win will be a turning point for them

1. CHI
2. WAS
3. CHI
4. Yes
5. Over
6. 4th
7. Odd
8. Even
9. CHI
10. CHI

Final Score prediction 22-13

he can't, but Vecino helped, and they have an early lead
Lazio has all this season, and could easily see them within top4, but Napoli is playing at maximum at the moment, and making clearance at the top

not following Calcio that much, but it does seem that Udinese and Atalanta, that are on 2nd and 3rd will not keep up till the end, so that leaves Lazio, Milan, Roma as main contenders

edit: one more, it is 0:2 now

thanks for reminder, I have put my picks hour ago, and these are all re-matches from last week

who would say that Brugge is already done their job, congrats to them
I also have some surprises for tomorrow, not sure about Leverkusen home match, but Sevilla should lose easily, and maybe Dinamo could make another surprise, two loses after win over Chelsea, but Salzburg is beatable as well

I do not think that Sevilla is worth playing in CL, Dortmund struck a late equalizer against Bayern, but they were good enough to beat Sevilla on any day
Sevilla could not worked out clean sheet against Bilbao, after taking an early lead, and that is a real disappointing performance, IMO, last year Sevilla would done it easily

nevertheless, Sevilla is still most serious candidate for top4, and any point lost is good for Valencia, if we end up fighting for 4th place

all teams that were supposed to win, won their matches, although with a lot of pressure

Feyenoord won 2:0, AZ won in Utrecht 1:2, but they were a better side, and had 0:2 until the overtime, when Utrecht scored one, but was far from equalizer, and PSV won 0:1, goal by Gakpo, and he also scored an agreement with Leeds to get into PL, which could be a good transfer for Leeds, and United was in the race too

congrats man, 16,5 points is a great outcome in any round
yeah, top2 positions are cleared, they will fight in-between, while battle for third position is still open

and Max won the championship, it was already known, but now it is mathematically impossible for him to lose it, congrats to him as well
