There is no Euroleague games this and next week, but it doesn't means that we won't have good basketball soon. This week in most countries is dedicated to national cups - Spain, Italy, France, Turkey, Lithuania, Serbia, Germany, Greece and so on. Some have Final 8, some Final 4 tournament, but due to nature of tournament, it delivers plenty of upsets usually.
I'm going to follow Lithuanian cups  for obvious reasons and Spanish cup most closely. But will tune in some games or final at least in Turkey, France or Germany if schedule won't overlap. Also, it's possible to have big derbies like Partizan Crvena Zvezda or Pao - Olympiacos in Serbia and Greece, but watching it comfrtable on big screen will be more difficult as these cups aren't shown on TV in my country.
Gran Canaria playing with Valencia and despite that Valencia is Euroleague team, I wouldn't call them favorites. In other 1/4 final Real vs Murcia, don't see any surprises here.

It was hard foul, but giving red card and penalty is double punishment, what is a bit too much IMO. I really counted on Bayern, as said above, they're not great, but same can be said about Lazio. Bayern wasted lot of chances, but it's not disaster, they still have great chance to go through.
PSG - Real Sociedad, 2:0 is a bit too much, Sociedad played solid match, but PSG simply have players like Mbappe who can decide game alone. Sociedad have to to something with their attack, they made 0 shots on target today and it's already 5th game in a row when they failed to score goal, what is crazy.

Interesting, I haven't seen such issue with Freebitco.in before, if I haven't missed anything, nobody haven't reported it. Seems that it's something wrong with your internet provider. As I understand, you tried to change DNS to these give by Google, but it didn't helped. Have tried to go with other DNS like Cloudflare or 1.1.1.1?
Accessing website through VPN itself isn't something wrong, but yeah, if you're claiming their free BTC, it's not best idea. I would suggest to contact their support, but they're not very responsive nowadays and I see that you already tried.
And one random idea, maybe it won't help, but no harm to try. Try to connect other router if you have or borrow it. Not sure how likely it can be, but maybe it's something related with router.

I support content of this petition, but signing it not going to help. Does anyone remember when such kind of petitions helped to solve big questions like this one? And it's not even proper petition, nobody aren't going to consider it, no matter how many people will sign. There is no way to identify that it was signed by real person because it only asks your email. So, it's easy to make so many fake signings.

After terrible Monday, today's CL helped me to recover a bit as I won my bets. Though, Real wasn't confident and I wasn't sure about their win until last minute. How many times they were saved by Lunin? Leipzig played solid game, but it's loss and going even with minimal negative result to Santiago Bernabeu leaves them not big chances.
City - nothing extraordinary, solid win and most of work already done.

I'm confident that Norwegian will win race, their dominance recently is huge and they don't get much competition. Most likely it will be Johannes Boe, but time is more tricky. I expect slow race because of weather conditions. There was lot of rain, high temperature (+7°C), so, you can imagine that's very far from optimal conditions and in previous races biathletes struggled with skiing.

Personally I agree with icopress position, though, maybe removing participants from campaign is a bit too harsh. Maybe I would just send them warning to PM with warning.
When you join campaign, you're not asked to be their paid shill, but some common sense should be used too. You're getting paid by one company and you're literally suggesting to use their direct competitors. It just doesn't looks good. I know that most of users don't care what they're advertising and don't use service that they promote, but maybe feel some loyalty for company which is paying money to you.
I can give not the best, but very obvious example. Let's say Leo Messi have have contract with Pepsi and Adidas. You won't see him drink Coca Cola and wearing Nike anywhere, otherwise he would get huge fine or even can get contract terminated.
Personally, I wouldn't advertise service that I don't use, I just wouldn't feel right if I would do it. Though, now I advertise Betcoin, but I actively participate in promotions made by their direct competitors - other bookmakers. But I someone would ask me which bookmaker to use, offcourse that I would mention service that I promote.

Submitted my picks in both pots, though, I don't have much chances to go up in both. My expectationsfrom today's games that City is going to solve most of things today and take comfortable lead. Though, Copenhagen isn't easy team, other Manchester team already experienced it , I expect that they can score once too.
Leipzig - Real. Hosts aren't doing good at all recently, while Real showing some good performance lately, expecting them to win.

Congrats to all winners! It was good tournament to watch, but so unpredictable that I was barely makesd bets after many loses. Amazed by Ivory Cost, team that was so many times on verge of elimination - in group stage, in knockouts, but they finally won, wow.
Still don't know my final position as it doesn't lads for me on Superbru, but I will be somewhere in the bottom. I'm seriously considering skipping upcoming pools of knockout tournaments because I'm performing terrible there.

I'm very sceptical about this kind of stuff, things like #meToo and similar. Nowadays it's easy to ruin someone's reputation, and even if you're innocent, it still leaves mark in your reputation.
If it wasn't sexual harassment, it would be interesting to know what exactly was that "controlling beheaviour". Not defending Horner and not saying that boss can do whatever he wants and whatever he likes to his employes. But in general, some people nowadays are soft like snowflakes and you can't tell anything to them.
It looked that everything goes almost perfect for Red Bull, it would be shame if team will collapse in this way.

Yeah, I'm more than sure that in almost 2 years of war there was more than enough requests from Western journalists, but obviously it was all rejected. While Carlson, knowing his views and stance towards Russia, he was good choice. As you say, his was getting lot of popularity, I think it says a lot. Difficult to expect that he will ask inconvenient questions.
That 28 minutes history lesson from Putin. It was interesting interpretation of things from Putin, but Tucker don't had much to respond because he obviously don't know history of this region in detail. Same can be said about target audience of interview. It's not secret that average American redneck don't know much what's happening outside US, not even talking about history. They don't believe in mainstream media, but have lot of trust in Tucker. In US sending military support to Ukraine is getting more opposition than it was in first year of war. And interview like this can increase this public opinion even more, it's important before upcoming elections.

Looks that we found someone who was bought by this interview. Yeah, Putin doesn't wants war, he is peaceful guy who started "special military operation" that killed probably at least half of million people from both sides. "Other nations to stop widden their territories" - could you be more specific which countries? Because only country that mananaged to widden their territory is Russia by taking about 25% of Ukraine.  And yeah, they're just defending. I'm just wondering who prepared to invade them, Ukraine?

After final results was counted, looks that I lost quite big. And even if Asian Cup question wouldn't be voided, that wouldn't help for me.
I have to win in last round to survive and wait for poditive results from other games. And I'm facing league leader vd309 in final round - just perfect, something what I really needed lol. I guess it's time to say goodbye to Division 1, it was fun ride.
Can't believe that you added Biathlon question. I think I'm only one in BSFL who follow it that closely, saw almost all races this season. Hope that will help to answer question, but sorry, no tips for free 

Didn't saw their game too, but at one moment they were down 3:0, and it's embarrasing because their opponent was just mid table team. But their loses isn't something surprising with squad that they have.
After draw with Ajax, PSV put their anger on Volendam and destroyed them 5:1.
And Rotterdam derby, it took almost hour for Feyenoord to score, but it doesn't reflect game well, difference of level between them and Sparta was just too big.

Sporting - Braga starting soon. Odds for Sporting went up a bit, but when you see how they're playing, especially at home, it's difficult to expect for upset here. Though, they lost to Braga in League Cup few weeks ago, but I think that it gives them some extra motivation. I go with over 2.5 goals in this game.
Vitoria Guimaraes - Benfica, one of rare cases in Portugal when odds for Benfica win looks a bit attractive. Vitoria is having good season, already achieved win against Sporting, took a point from Braga and gave good fight against Porto.

Congrats with a win, deserved. It looks that curse of Harry Kane moved from Spurs to Bayern and he simply can't win titles. Xabi Alonso is doing amazing job with Bayer and nobody won't be surprised if he will be next manager of Liverpool. Though, despite everything I still believe that they still can choke somehow in final rounds of league and give title away to Bayern. They're called Neverkusen not without a reason.

As I understand, gambling advertisements is allowed in F1, but in some countries where they're racing it's illegal and probably they wouldn't be alllowed to display Stake name there. As of going to court, Sauber is Swiss team, while Stake don't have license which is accepted there, their license as usual in crytpo gambling is issued in Curacao.

Great article, nailed it what's wrong with their name. Simply everyting is wrong with it and it's hard to remember worse F1 team name. I'm still wondering how commentators are going to call them. Racing Bulls sounds most logical, but it makes confusion with Red Bull.

After today's game it's difficult to imagine what have to happen that Real wouldn't win La Liga this season. In one of key games of season they're destroying Girona, 4:0 already with more than 20 minutes remaining. Girona can be great in rest of games, but in both meeting with Real they had no chance completely and they return to reality now. Yeah, they still have great chances to get spot in Champions league, what would be something what nobody expected before season, but dreams about title is over. A bit sad :/

Yesterday I forgot to mention one extremely rare thing in Euroleague - Baskonia's Codi Miller-McIntyre achieved triple double with 11 points, 10 rebounds and 20 assists. It's just 4th triple double in Euroleague's history. And also, 20 assists is new record.
Looks that Crvena Zvezda will have to play next one or few games without spectators. Even if referees did mistake there, it doesn't gives right you to start throwing stuff to referees and players. While Zalgiris is on fire, they won 4 from 5 recent Euroleague games and getting closer to playins. Coach Trinchieri really changed face of team.
Panathinaikos got nice win vs Fenerbahche, they got advantage in 2nd quarter and didn't let their opponents into striking distance until the end. And Virtus - Monaco, great game between two similar level teams, just someone has to lose it and it was Virtus this time.
No Euroleague next week as we have time dedicated for National Cups.

Have nothing against womens basketball, but in general, I only watch it when my national team is playing. After watching mens basketball, it's not easy to watch women's basketball with lover speed, less phisicality and other stuff. I didn't even knew that there is Olympic qualification now. Why USA and France is playing there, despite already having spot in Olympics as World Cup winners or hosts?

Efes had to play their home game in Riga, Latvia, but they felt like at home. They got very solid win against direct competitor and now just 2 wins away from play-in zone.
Milan - Real, in 2nd half Milan had 21 point lead, but that's not enough to feel confident because Real is team that never give up. They made strong comeback in 4th quarter, but Milan survives somehow and got very rare win vs Real, just 5th in XXI century if I hear right.
Wow, such painful defeat for Partizan at home. They had chances to close game in 4th quarter, didn't managed to do it and paid huge price. I really can't understand how it happened that Kaminsky was left to defend against Francisco... And still, Punter was so close from winning game in 0.8 seconds

Thanks for explanation. Union is unique club with unique fans. It's one of few old fashioned clubs in big leagues who still keep their strong identity and it's more important than doing business for them.

Man, I sometimes randomly tune in Bundesliga 2 games and it's amazing. Probably they are in Top 5 by attendance in Europe and we're talking about 2nd division.
Though, not everything is so great. Schalke have big debts and if they will relegate to 3rd division, it probably will be the end of their glorious story as club wouldn't get license to play. It would be a shame.
