Lot of goals tonight?
Yes  

Do not forget to pick your best scores
Good luck to all, especially to Inter and Liverpool  

Thanks big daddy, what was your prediction for Liverpool? I know you got a good nose for Superbru CL;)

I'm starting another long parlay involving Liverpool in 3 games in 2 competitions, beginning with this one. Caught it when odds were still 2/1 too (now is 18/10). We need to win, and we'd like to do it by the first half so I suspect we could be in for some heavy metal football. Especially if some of our less regular starters play. They'll be hungry.

Predicted 23 goals in the Sportsbet contest, but my Superbru predictions have 28 goals =p

Morning
Was offline yesterday night

Great night for Liverpool, but not so god for Inter, so for the CL, I have only Liverpool to support until the end 

[leea-1334]

So only 8 games left of group stage and I managed to keep my position on the table, just below Sojourner by 0.5 points. big daddy you are far away and probably can survive 8 more games except if guys like Trofo have another huge round!

Oh and Wow I saw buwaytress and big daddy both guessed exactly right in last night's Champions League games total goals contest. I guessed 20 so by 70th minutes already I saw I was wrong. Well done buwaytress you totally nailed it.

Inter Milan failed to qualify for the last 16 but Dortmund won over Slavia Prague, unlucky Inter lost last night and this is true that many have fallen from its bets, but indeed Barcelona is a strong team that is not easy to beat.
Tonight I will try to bet Bayern v Tottenham and like Spurs will win.

Yup, it's almost done.  And it's gonna be pretty hard climbing to the top 5 at the KO stages and beyond imo.  Fixtures will come fewer and fewer...

[cryptofrka]

What are the prizes anyway? I forgot and cannot find them in this thread and I'm currently 3rd overall.

[tokeweed]

^  That's right.  Go pm hilarious...  I think the prizes should be a tad larger than last season.  Last chance to get itm imo!

[bassbity]

Is there anything interesting tonight's match at UCL unlike last night there was a lot of excitement in competing to qualify for the next round but tonight I guess it's not like last night maybe I'll watch Tottenham vs Bayern and Madrid vs Brugge matches

[examplens]

The big mystery for me is Bayern vs Tottenham game.
In first game Bayern destroyed Tottenham, but now can be a totally different story. Bayern has some problems and bad results in Bundesliga also fired the manager. They going from first place to the next stage there is no need to effort. Tottenham as if coming out of a crisis, plus new unpredictable element - Mourinho, they don't like to lose big games. I am thinking they can win in Munich, but odds is 7:1 on Tottenham wins.
So, what are you think, can we expect something more from this match?

Group stage of Champions league finnished and it means that significantly less matches left. @big_daddy is still leading solid and I think it will be almost impossible to reach him. Unless he will forget to make predictions one day .
Personally, I stuck in the middle of table, but I'm still relatively close from Top 5.
Playoff draw is on Monday. What pair would you like to see? Personally, I would like Real Madrid getting something big like Bayern, City or LFC. And Atalanta for Barcelona .

Teams going through for next rounds

England          Liverpool, Manchester City, chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur

Spain            Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Valencia

Italy             Juventus, Atlanta, Napoli

Germany        Bayern, Dortmund, Leipzig

France          PSG, Lyon

Just five countries no teams from Neitherland, Portugal, Belgium and Denmark its very sad as just these few countries controlling this all for many years.

[big_daddy]

I’am seeing a Local leading table, not only myself at the top, and I’m very happy for that score by this point
I wish all the best to all on the knock out phase od this pool

Good night  

[cryptofrka]

Yup, we're doing quite good.

Maybe Trofo will regret telling us about this pool, he'd be joint leader if it wasn't for the 2 of us.

I love a good competition and will do my best to put the pressure on you guys till the very end. I won it last year and you know what they say: It is easier to win the title than to defend it.

These pools are very good confirmations of my betting stats. I always have best results on CL and these pools show it. Now I need a pool for tennis to test that part as well.

Only Inter Milan are a big team that doesn't qualify for the next round after being toppled by Barcelona,
Clubs from 5 countries will fight over the UCL trophy, from which country club will be the UCL champion.
My prediction is from England - Liverpool again.

But I'm not that good this season, I'm still out of top 10 currently lol I do not remember my position on the last pool but I think I finished on top 10.
This season seems harder for me, not only in this UCL but also in the EPL pool.
UCL has just finished the group stage, means there are less matches and less points to grab. I have to be realistic in this UCL pool so I think I'll be focusing on the EPL pool more.

[cryptofrka]

@hilariousandco can you please share the reward distribution for this season?
It's not in the first post and I tried finding it in the thread without success so far.

[slaman29]

Wait, so all you guys are Croatians in the top few places? Haha! I wonder actually if we put all our leagues next to our names we can see who performs best. I'm in Asia of course where the football is plenty but quality is low. Most of us know even more about our foreign team than we do our own (I admit I'm one of that because I totally don't identify with my own team).

Is international football bigger than local scene in Croatia?

We are currently 1st, 2nd and 4th (which is actually drawing for 3rd).
Croatian football is not good, only Dinamo Zagreb and the national team are worth watching. But it does not stop us being fanatical about football

[buwaytress]

Only met one Croat my entire life, probably should not mention the name or experience (it was good haha).

But yeah you guys displaced me entirely think I was in 3rd after 4th group game, dropped to 4th and now in 5th by a distance. Definitely should not have made too many silly predictions. In the end, this was a fairly predictable Last 16, with perhaps the exception of Ajax, whom people were expecting to make it far (although I think they overperformed last season).
