I graded last challenge and put the new one up. This time we have a game from Spanish cup since they are playing just one league game over the weekend. I don't think you'll mind since it is Sevila derby

Don't forget, we have Spanish super cup game tonight. This is also my tip of the day, Real to win against this Barca @2.1, I am taking that all day long. Barca without form and with lots of injuries against very good Real, should be easy money, right?

Too bad the game is played Saudi Arabia but what can you do, money rules football.

Spain Super Cup today with El classico being the game we all waited for , even if the current teams are playing more from history (totally Barca case here ) and Real Madrid who will try everything to beat Barcelona whenever they can this year as rarely you see Barcelona in a form like this. Xavi should be aware of this tonight and maybe try to go full force from start with the idea that they will score first...which I don't think it will happen.

money rules football.

city derby is always good, so Betis and Sevilla match is great choice

money does not rule football, it basically rules everything
yeah, just one match over the weekend, but La Liga has new partial mid-week round next week, Villareal should put Elche back, since they won points over Espanyol on Monday

Actually, there is not that many injuries and all players recovered from covid. Pedri and Ansu Fati finally returns after injuries, Ferran Torres will debut today and it will be interesting to see what Dani Alves can do against Real.
Though, don't have big expectations about this game. If game will go to extra time and penalties, it's only chance for us to win.

it was in extra-time, but Real won
did not watch it

tonight is Atletico vs Athletic, maybe Bilbao could show some strength tonight and goes to final? odds are pretty much the same as yesterday, and Bilbao is better value than Barca, IMO, but I do not think that it will be goals as last night

I think it was one of best El Clasico games in recent years. There was drama, attractive football and level of it wasn't bad. Offcourse, it's pity to lose, but in general, I like how Barca played.
Athletic will have chance to defend Supercopa trophy after beating Atletico 2:1. It wasn't very exciting game, especially 1st half, but stoll better than most AFCON games.

They got the most chances, from the highlights but the crosses were not met with good quality, they need to learn how to either lay off from heading or strike on target. But yes, I still liked that they played well, and good to see Ansu Fati come on to score (even if it was a weird type of goal). I only feel like they just made life difficult for themselves by tiring everyone out only to lose.

We're all bashing AFCON lol

I thought that having half the pool missing their prediction for today's game was gonna be a good chance for some of us  to get some good points and get closer to those near the top of the leaderboard, but i guess the yellow piss submarine Villareal had other plans and decided shit the bed against relegation fodder... so unlucky, but at least nobody predicted the right outcome so all stays the same

yeah, I missed to pick this one, although I was sure that I have pick for it
I have put picks for AFCON, and had all green places within all pools, so did not looks closely, in the end, Elche was missing

nevertheless, Villareal save our asses, with their play, and Elche won in the end, everything good

Lol Casper, but at the very least, it's taken a default pick off those who didn't pick, so wasted pick for zero points maybe?

Have said before that if you use the Dashboard you see rightaway which picks need entering, but I guess you'd know anyway whichever page you use? But these games definitely switched into the round suddenly as I made my picks very close to time too.

GL tonight, gentlemen, I smell some upsets.

[casperBGD]

but I guess you'd know anyway whichever page you use?

yeah, I use to-do list (do not use mobile app, just website), did not had issues earlier
but, pretty sure that this one was not on my list, nevertheless, it passed good

Betis smashed Alaves last night, as expected, and Cadiz draw with Espanyol, more goals than expected

Barca is postponed, but Valencia is playing Sevilla, expecting good match, that can go on any side

I did expect the win, but didn't expect that kind of margin. Still feels so wrong that 1-0 and 3-0 get the same points in this Superbru system, but whoever got the Cadiz draw, well done. you're pulling away at the top, casper, hope we don't have same prediction on Sevilla

Barca would have been in my pick but acca on Celta and Sevilla should net me some solid wins right? (I say this to convince myself anyway).

[casperBGD]

Getafe won over Granada, with Maximiano on a post as a statue, four goals conceived

tonight Espanyol is playing Betis, somehow think that Betis will manage to win this one
and Valencia is having their tough opponent line continued with Atletico Madrid, hopefully after this one we will take a breath, and get some more points

4 damn goals from a team like Getafe, just impossible to look at the scores, find out that you for once get the right scores only a few did, and it was just 1 stupid point because the score was totally unpredictabled lol

I've to go for broke, started with pick on Espanyol but they lost big, I need to at least break into top 10!!

why did you back Valencia today my dude?    they always choke against Atletico, last time they beat them was eons ago... they were close to the win, but they did a Leicestah lol

btw, i was the only one who predicted the Cadiz win earlier,, it was such a rare event it seems that the superbru system still hasn't awarded me the 1.5 pts lol at least that's how it looks on my end

Because I had to go for broke. I'm in such a shitty position I need to try and take some extra risks or I'll never forgive myself for being in a bad position in the league I'm supposed to know most about.

I always say that the thing I'm thankful the most for is most of the games happen when I'm in dreamland. So instead of going to bed with heavy heart I wake up with heavy heart LOL

Superbru has some problems it seems. It did not award some points for me and I can still change the result for yesterday Atalanta game, I can't save it though I guess they will sort it out during the day.

Looking forward to se how Barca will look tonight.

[buwaytress]

@slaman Totally get the need for you to catch up but yeah man, haven't you been paying attention to all the talks that come up about Valencia every now and then and how they've lost us money time and time again? Haha but what a game it was too, though, wasn't it? I still don't enjoy Spanish football as much as English or even Italian (in recent seasons anyway) and you'd have to be a cynic to enjoy Atletico's style but it's still pleasurable to watch this kind of game at some point especially after drab EPL games.

Leicester and Valencia. Serial chokers.

Nicely done on Cadiz toma, they're doing a Norwich, aren't they? You're right, on Superbru the Cadiz game is still marked "Live". And on EPL page I should have lost my lead to tumi, but it still shows me at top. Very weird!

[casperBGD]

Leicester and Valencia. Serial chokers.

~

agree

Leicester took me exact score, since I had it for 2:1, but Valencia was harder to watch, not regarding the pool, but it is really hard to watch the match when you know/think about, that your team is going to lose somehow, and when it was almost over, and almost impossible to lose (I thought, finally a good one from my team), they conceive two goals, boomer

but yeah, we were miserable in second half, should at least try to pass on their half

[buwaytress]

^speaking of Leicester choking. Wasn't injury time equaliser but still, pretty late and pretty lame.

Anyone watching Real? Came over right after Liverpool game and saw Vini had a great game as usual, keeper just too good. And then Benzema missing a penalty. All that hard work and one goal down, Elche can't possibly keep this advantage unless their keeper keeps his 1st half form.
