Congratulations to all the participants!

I'm gad to have made it pass the group stages Cheesy Cheesy, but it only gets harder now and the questions this time around are even more tough technical, honestly.

The second question in the form seemed to be slightly wrongly worded (or intertwined between the question and the answer options) and could be misinterpreted, I think I have the correct interpretation from the question itself, but the options in the answers could also all happen except the last one, I think the answers should be stated as the first goal to be conceded rather than if they'll concede within a specific interval or not, as they could concede goals in all the intervals of the first 3 options.

Maybe @casperBGD can add few more words on the topic. I know he is following the eagles closely  Grin

other teams having conferences about tactics and lineups, we have one where our top attacker explains he did not have sex with another player wife, you can't make this one up

not sure what to think, Swiss is a good team, hard to beat when they are happy with a draw, but Mitrovic should be in, Vlahovic probably not due to whatever happened

I have Tadic and SMS in my fantasy team (would add that I think we will pass through, but @2.6 is not a value bet on a win)
Vlahović in the first team as well, I am really curious to see how this Serbia will play. Have a feeling they pulled their heads together and decided to play football. Problem is if the game get though they could break apart easy and Swiss are one of the toughest opponents to break. I have a lot of money riding on Switzerland so we are in the opposing camps tonight.

What could be worse than paying 3 points deficit to ship in de Arrascaeta who has been nothing but a bench warmer for Kudus of Ghana, only for the former who has zero point until today to end up 18 whooping points  Sad, What a waste  Lips sealed

So many tweaks and turns in this MD, hopefully it will get better in the coming MDs

Sergio Busquets is rumoured to join Inter Miami this summer. This is another good news for Barcelona because it would be better for them to get rid of some old players in the team. Xavi's system is even built upon the youngsters in the team. They need to continue with as much young and talented players as possible. Of course they need some experienced and great players like Lewandowski also. But they just shouldn't exaggerate this while making their transfers.

Making a team successful in multiple big tournaments with youngsters isn't an easy task of course. But I believe Xavi will manage to do this. He just needs to develop new strategies against big teams to get more wins. They don't need to bring new players for now. Making the right choices can carry them to success with the current squad.
Sergio Busquets to Inter Miami seems perfect to me, I mean he is aged now and the US league seems like a retirement home for most of the world's top players so Busquets joining wouldn't be such a surprise anyway and will be a good one for him to play and strive well. Barcelona have to let these older players go to give way for the younger ones to flourish and make a name for themselves with better playing time.

If Sergio Busquets should leave Barcelona now, it will be the perfect time to do so after the season end, as I expect this should also be his last outing for the Spain national team, I don't think he'll play for Spain again after the world cup, as the next major tournament is two years away and he'll be 36 years by then.

The major reason I'd happy he's leaving is because the Barcelona would obviously be in good hands with both Gavi and Pedri playing fantastic and next to world class football, and De Jong would just need to be retained at the club and along side Franck Kessie. I'd also expect Jordi Alba to be approaching a similar decision, but he might have to stay for another year though, because he's current contract is valid until the summer of 2024

Yeah, ball didn't left pitch fully and our eyes is lying again. Without VAR probably even Japan players wouldn't protest against called out.

I really don't understand how VAR came to the conclusion that the ball in this picture wasn't out of play already, ffs! if the same scenario had happened within the goal post, I'm trying to imagine showing this to a team and say it's not a goal, but I guess we'll never now know right ?

This was the craziest group so far. At one point both Spain and Germany were out of the knockouts, simply unbelievable.

Amazing performance from Japan, to progress from this group is a terrific achievement. They managed to beat both Spain and Germany, incredible.

I won't lie, we in Croatia will love this draw. But Japan should not be underestimated.

To conclude:

What a great day... I love football...

It would have been pretty funny If Germany had not manage to turn the tie around in Spain's favour, so Japan and Costa Rica would have eliminated both Germany and Spain, that'd have been some nightmare and probably increases the chances of their opponents in knockout stages.

I'm not trying to drive a narrative here, but I do think Spain didn't concede those two goals intentional, but I've got a slight conviction that they didn't try as much to get back on level terms, Imagine losing a game and still sure of qualification and also they get to avoid Croatia and Brazil in the next K/O rounds, but underestimating Morocco might be very costly for them.

Yeah, I completely forgot to see if Saka would start and left him in my fantasy so didn't really do much with England, but Dutch players came through, at least I'm 81st position now and still have Pedri, Fernandes, Richarlison to make sure I keep up (hopefully).

Purely for fun at this point, of course.

Too many bugs in the system, I'm sure my points are affected as well, I know I'm shit at fantasy but if the system was working properly, I should be in the top 20 by now, Wink I used wildcard in only MD2 and I was told that we can use wildcard more than once, I haven't used any other chips but I can't find them available on my dashboard. How can a player play and get a 0? Please, I need justice.


I also fell to Saka's first-game performance and have kept him on my team since MD2.
Players don't get points for appearance in this fantasy so it is 0 points instead of 1 point as in FPL. Regarding that wildcard, who told you you can use it more then once? The rules allowed for "free" wildcard in MD 3 if you used in MD2 but you had to make all your transfers during MD2. I wrote about that here as well. Basically you used a wildcard and then removed players after they already played for free.

He probably read it wrongly, I didn't settle for MD2 wildcard, I don't think it would have made difference though, I still have all my chips active and used, but I'm still quite clueless as to how to navigate using properly, but my MD3 is still quite a mess, I took about 9 point hit but that paid of a bit except for the fact that I chose to bank Denmark players against Australia, I literally anticipated a clean for them in that game, I went with Gakpo as my captain since he scored I didn't find the need to change it. I think I might just my round of 16 free wildcard to suite just that match day, the use my wildcard for the next matchday.

A Question: has anyone been able to use more than one chip for a single MD ?
I wouldn't like any to go to waste especially the 12th man, I'm thinking of using in the next MD because there are some fixture/players I have in mind for it.

(by the way, Lukaku came in to play)

Great Match Canada(1) vs. Morocco(2)... not the same with Belgium, it seems discouraged...

Lukaku could have a had a hattrick in the minutes I watched actually, and that wasn't even long, maybe last 20 minutes + injury time? To be fair, most of the chances that sort of fell to him weren't precisely what you'd call expected but Croatia keeper will end the night with some minor heart attack from what I saw.

Nice progress for Croatia, didn't think their defence could hold but now on to Spain (?) but I'm glad Morocco won the group, fully deserved.

The number of chances that all feel for Lukaku during those minutes of coming shows how much they needed a centre striker, but Martinez opted for the worse choice and the shortest of them all, why play Mertens as a centre when there's Batshuayi on the bench, I'm not Batshuayi apologetic but it's a no brainer to have Mertens in the role of a centre striker ahead, Belgium scored only one goal this tournament, despite their attacking varieties and it was no other person than Batshuayi who scored that goal. I think it's pretty much time that both Roberto Martinez and Henry step down from their positions as the coaches of the team, then end of an Era, The Wooden Generation..
2329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽⚽⚽ Sportsbet's Bitcointalk World Cup 2022 - discussion ⚽⚽⚽ on: December 01, 2022, 03:57:35 PM
What became of Lukaku? I didn't realize he was injured, he was on the bench all games, I know his recent form isn't great, but he is Belgium's top scorer and always shows up during national games, I never liked Batsuayi leading a team, his runs off the ball is so bad, he hasn't improved much over the years. That being said, Belgium appears to be lost, they don't even believe in themselves, they have lost confidence, the Croatian team is still looking decent and sharp, and I hope they can capitalize on Belgium's current form. What happened to that lovely Croatian president? I haven't seen her yet in this tournament, but she was the Russia 2018 fans' face. i hope  the Croatians stays for long so i keep seeing those beautiful Croatian models on the beach.. hahah passionate fans.
Lukaku was injured and he wasn't ready to play the matches, he should be able to last at least 60 mins against us so we shall see if that will help Belgium.

That Croatian president is no longer the president but she is still in Qatar, this time she is wearing some traditional Croatian garments so you will probably not be that happy to see her.

It's a huge game for both countries, so I'm guessing he'll start and may play full time depending on his performance. The Croatians must try to break the KDB-Lukaku link, they may look old at the moment, but they still have class. Hazard has looked decent in the last two games, but he's toothless at the moment, so he won't be a big problem.

I think all the players mentioned are still pretty dangerous in their own specific ways, but they are being deployed in the wrong setup, Martinez is the only one looking very clueless, why Mertens as a 9, I'd rather have Hazard or De Bruyne and play Tielemans in Centre of the midfield, but he just keeps trying every setup in each game like a coach that doesn't have an idea about his players strengths and weaknesses.

Morocco being ahead of Canada have already made things really complicated for both Croatia and even worse for Belgium, their only chance of qualifying for round of 16 is to win the game.

Oh come on, Poland goes through after today's performance? They were horrible throughout the whole 90 minutes.

It is a shame that fair play can be the deciding factor in such situations, it pushed Mexico to go all in and concede that late goal.
Otherwise Poland would still go through, but only because they received less yellow cards than Mexico.

I recall that happening only once, last WC when Japan qualified based on that criteria ahead of Senegal.
This was totally undeserved for Poland, they never even thought to try and score a goal against Argentina, they can thank only Szczesny for their place in knockout stages. Saved a couple of almost certain goals and kept their goal difference good enough to push Mexico into overextending. While we are on Szczesny saves, he even saved a penalty by Messi and I must admit this was one of the strangest penalties I have ever seen awarded.

I agree,Argentina played with just football with one port and the only occasion Poland had was that header from the veteran player they had still playing in the national team,other than that they just totally parked the bus and this is a stupid thing to do against teams like Argentina.I think the hero of the game was their goalkeeper who gave them this truly undeserved qualification as Mexico showed much better game play and they scored the most magnificent goal so far of the whole tournament with that awesome free kick.

I wouldn't say it was undeserved for Poland to qualify for the next round simply because they didn't do well enough to posed just one goal threat against Argentina and it seemed they literally all out to only secure a draw, Mexico were not a different when they played Argentina as well, they literally just sat back too and tried to secure a draw which would have left Argentina in dire situation, I'd rather commend the Saudi Arabian team even though they lost the last two matches of the game, I'd say they were the only team of the other 3 besides Argentina to have a approached every game with the hope of getting something positive from it.

If the cases were reversed and it was Mexico playing Argentina last night, I strongly doubt they'd have done any better than Poland actually did, so If the game was unfair to any of the four teams, I'd say it was Saudi Arabia that got unlucky.

Bro, what a waste. Should've taken the Cavs line for your parlay. Mine was Grizzlies losing against the T'wolves.

@MK-74 Congrats on the Bucks' win. Sorry for the 76ers bet too. It ended in a blowout.
The Philadelphia are getting schooled by the J.B. Bickerstaff's men, it's almost a 30 points lead quarter way into the final quarter already, I didn't think the Philadelphia would struggle this much with Joel Embiid back, but I think him getting back was more of a curse today, rather than a blessing because the whole team was rather trying to have him dictate to entire and it's almost like a telegraphed game play for the Cavs to read and counter.
Schooled.  Cheesy
The 76ers got used to playing without him, maybe they will need the chemistry to spark again. Next game maybe.

Yeah, the team adjusted pretty well too playing without their 3 best players Maxey, Harden and Embiid and they looked to be doing pretty okay, dividing the duties almost even amongst the young lads, Tobias Harris and Shake Milton, then Melton all stepped up well enough, but I think they shouldn't have made it pretty obvious that Embiid was supposed to be their go to man, I guess that was their undoing.

Congratulations on your winnings! I had to to take the day off, I guess I prefer the weekend matchups .

Two big surprises today, or maybe France just didn't want to push so hard against Tunisia, and this win was historic and sweet for them for colonial reasons.
Biggest surprise for me in this World Cup is Australia going in next phase, but I doubt they will do anything against Argentina and Messi.

Amazing odds for Croatia win against Belgium, maybe adding asian handicap safer option would be perfect bet.
What do you think Cro2 team cryptofrka and Trofo, can your country win tomorrow, but try to be objective? Smiley

If Morocco can do it, why not Croatia ? sentiments aside Croatia are miles better as a team compared to Belgium. Roberto Martinez is just trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, He's just having a bunch of guys playing together with zero team chemistry, I don't understand why Trossard and Tielemans can start together or the essence of playing 3 at the back and having a bunch wing players all playing in the midfield and there is no centre forward you can trust with crosses and cut backs, what's wrong with playing four at the back and have Witsel, Tielemans and KDB as playmakers in the midfilder then settle for whatever 3 players he wants at the front, having Onana playing ahead of Tielemans in the second game or stuffing Carrasco into the lineup in midfield and Thorgan Hazard in the second game as well, just to have Trossard on the bench seems like shooting one's self in the foot.

I believe this game will won or lost right from the lineup and formation Martinez decides to go with today, and I'll gladly have my money on Croatia if he keeps up with those absurd antics.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs Philadelphia Sixers

The Cleveland Cavaliers (13-8) will try to extend their home winning streak to 5 as they go against the Philadelphia 76ers (12-9) today. The Cavs are favored @1.60 while the 76ers odds @2.40. Philadelphia will still miss the service of James Harden and Tyrese Maxey.

The Philadelphia are getting schooled by the J.B. Bickerstaff's men, it's almost a 30 points lead quarter way into the final quarter already, I didn't think the Philadelphia would struggle this much with Joel Embiid back, but I think him getting back was more of a curse today, rather than a blessing because the whole team was rather trying to have him dictate to entire and it's almost like a telegraphed game play for the Cavs to read and counter.

Let us give you some of the statistics as well - these are for today's games:
Thanks for the nice words guys, we're glad you like it and that you're having fun.
We'll be collecting your feedback once the competition ends Smiley
Nice statistics, but I can't believe only a few people believe Argentina and Saudi Arabia will cause an upset and qualify from the group. Saudi players either become billionaires with private jets or are buried in the desert as their king promised. I'm putting my life in their hands.

I believe Saudi Arabia's kings promises can only be nothing but a source of motivation, that really doesn't connotes that it will determine the outcome of the said fixtures, I really do commend Saudi Arabia for their performance against Poland, they played really well but at the end of the day, they lost the game, while the heroics with the victory vs Argentina was a source motivation for their next game, but in the game vs Argentina they weren't competitive in the first half of the game and just keep their high defensive line, If Argentina had won that game, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have been as courageous and attack minded like they were in the 2nd game vs Poland.

I'll back Mexico not lose the game (more likely a win), but a draw would also not be enough for Saudi Arabia to make it to the next round, except if Argentina fails to emerge victorious against Poland.

As I'm expecting USA to score plenty of goals against Iran today, I predicted the most goal scoring team of the day as USA in Sportsbet's special bets. As we are leaving 2 matches behind it is enough for USA to score 2 goals for now. But England is the team I'm afraid of as they might explode today. Even though Southgate adopts a controlled game usually, the performance they showed against Iran in their first group match  shows their potential clearly.

Uff... 1:0 for the US boys. What a great goal by Christian Pulisic. Hopefully he didn't hurt himself too much and can continue playing. The collision right before the goal looked pretty pretty painful. Outsch...

But the way the USA is playing, we can certainly expect a few more goals in the second half. I honestly didn't expect such a dominant performance. Maybe one more even before half time?

/edit: And here we go 2:0 before half time? Offside? So close, lol.

To be honest this position doesn't seem offside when we look at from this angle. Referees started the game after that without even reviewing it for once. Ah! It's my luck as usual. If the referee called it a goal then I was going to have the opportunity to bet on England's over 2.5 and guarantee my bet. Sad



From the picture you posted above, it looks pretty clearly like it's the correct call, the player in question's knee is above the last defender if you take his arm out of the picture and that's always the case when ruling for an offside.



England have broken the deadlock with 2 goals in quick succession, thanks to new introduced starters, Rashford and Foden, both players have been heavily involved in almost every attacking threat that England have so far, I guess that's the end of any atom of hope the Welsh team could have had coming into this game.

I also didn't see such convincingly dominant performance coming from USA beforehand, IRAN have done actually better against the other 2 opponents than USA fared against them, so I felt IRAN should be able to absolved all form of pressure from USA.  However, I just stumbled upon a tweet from @TrollFootball that compared the fixture to WW3 so, I supposed that's why USA had to put all their firepower out there, there wouldn't have been a worse team to lose against than IRAN for the USA.

Lets keep pushing group G we are in the lead we have the most points overall!!! 41.

~snip

strongest group, three participants from most pools on the forum, as when you have Brasil, Argentina and France is same group on WC
not sure about the draw, it could be a setup Smiley

nevertheless, last round just started, and good luck to all three rivals, enjoy the world cup and hopefully at least Serbia will pass the group, if I fail

I'm not gonna lie this by far one of the best competition I've witnessed and I'd love to see something for every other competition with this kind of format, tournaments likes the AFCON, Euro and even the forum infamous Uefa Champions League, it would make perfect, I'd don't even mind it having an entry like every other tournament, just something different from usual SuperBRU oriented pools.



I might have overplayed myself by going for IRAN to have more attempts than USA, while being clearly sure that they'll be under the most pressure, and it's not even close one USA already with 8 attempts to IRAN's 0...
