I am yet to score a single point. First three match no point for me, in fact only two were able to get some points and user entebah [what is your forum username] is killing it. Two exact scores with 6 points where the other one is only 1.5 points. Rest of us yet to score anything LOL

I don't think I will be able to score any point in Las Palmas vs Mallorca too. 1 - 0 down. No a good start in the pool.

Hello everyone, I'm delighted to join you in the Spanish pool for the first season. For me, predicting La Liga match results isn't easy. By the way, I have a close score prediction as well. I've noticed that most participants haven't scored any points yet, awaiting the conclusion of the Real Madrid vs. Bilbao match where Real Madrid is leading by two goals to nil. I hope Bilbao manages to score a goal in the second half and achieve a 2-1 result.
And good luck to all!!

Hey Ulven and finally, joining all of our regular pools alongside BSFL -- welcome home to the real sports mania on bitcointlk

Real plodding along fine so far, should give me my first few points in this pool, while somehow ensuring life goes on as usual for the, Still hurts a little bit to see the second goalscorer's name there but I suppose better them than Citeh hmm?

Welcome abroad man, in this ship we are all good guys!. But you already know that.

When i think i started pretty bad ( i start bad on friday) today i make a little comeback, and i see nobody its having a good run.

We reach the 27 players, impresive, a big number to ours pools.

[slaman29]

Oh come on another bad start in this pool for me?. Sevilla are you gonna gain destroy our hopes?.

Another bad start for Sevilla ,and a very good one for Valencia thinking about how abd they was in the last seasons.

I need more info to make some tendencies.

It's pointless buddy. I took my time this round to make some tough choices, and after Real Madrid problems I was so sure they would get at most a draw but then maybe Bellingham was all they needed.

Sevilla Valencia, both are blacklist so that was our bad luck

Double blow for me as Real win lost me here and in BSFL.

Another exact score from you and now it's three. How did you do that? Finally Real Madrid earned me some points after 4 consecutive wrong picks. Happy that at least got some something. All 27 of us now have something to cheer for LOL

Considering the last season [that heard from Trofo] it is indeed a very good number. We all did well to spread the words.

yeah, it's just a me choose that score for 4 game already

[slackovic]

I'm not sure how many correct and close scores are normal but my start is pretty lousy. Out if 4sixgames I have only one close guess which earned me 1.5 points. I won't give up, that's for sure but I guess that this competition is for folks that follow football more closely than me.

[Renato297]

definitely the La Liga is very unpredictable not even the winner is predicted, bad start for me

[el che]

Hi guys, I'm in the pool as well now.

Good luck everyone!!

So, Barca dropped points already in 1st round, 0:0 with Getafe. It was such dirty game and Rapinha gave up to one of provocations, getting stupid red card. Speaking about attack - it lloked like I was watching previous season game...
What I hate is new regulations of additional time, something as we saw in World Cup. 10 added minutes in 1st half and 14 in 2nd half - 24 minutes in total. When big teams havesuch intensive calendar and then they have over 20 minutes added in each game, we shouldn't be surprised if number of injuries will increase.

Most of us have difficult start, but I wouldn't say that we havd lot of upsets so far. Probably only Valencia win can be called as big upset. There was many 50/50 games without favorite, most of players decided to go with home team or draw and it wasn't right pick. Betis scoring late goal against Villarreal was painful for me, I had 1:1 on this game.

[Omikifuse]

This is the worst round in any pool I've ever been, so many upsets(according to the bookies), draws and away wins. At least Real Madrid saved me from being a duck on the table and having the wooden spoon.
On the upside, the best thing about a bad start is plenty of time to recover, better to start bad than end the competition in a bad position.

I actually don't hate it because they are adding back the number of minutes that was wasted during the course of the game and discouraging time wasting for teams, if you're calling a 90 minutes games and due to VAR checks and number of stoppages as much as much 20 minutes get's waste then was the essence of calling it a 90 minutes game, the new rule is only trying to ensure that each teams actually plays for 90 minutes and not 60-70 when the remaining 20-30 minutes are being spent on the floor, or getting involved is scuffles and other dirty antics.

If not for the fact that it would do damage to a lot dynamics about football in general, I might even suggest instead of given those large minutes which are the amount minutes wasted, they should just implement a count down time like that of NBA matches, where the count would down begin from 90 minutes and stopped in times of VAR checks and potential injuries that brings the game to a halt.

I should have expected it I guess, serves me fully right I lost big betting against Real Madrid, betting on Barca, whatever lol

The worst thing was not we dropped points but that we are back to our stupid bad discipline days once more. I was so sure we got rid of it finally towards end of last season but here we go gain, red card galore Barca is back

Love the extra time though in reality it forces plyers to play full 90 mins unlike before

[darxiaomi]

Man, so many away wins and unexpected draws, i really dont know what to think, the good thing its we are all in the same boat, so nobody its taking advantage of this.

Barcelona yesterday was a rare game, Getafe with Bordalas as Manager its not an easy one, and the red card on Rafinha doesnt help.

Well now i check and i see entebah taking some good points.

Well received (and a nice surprise as I was wondering where it came from!).

Was really tempted to put in on Granada but I figured that Atletico at home surely at worst grinds out a draw (plus, I hane no idea if this is the same Granada from 2 seasons ago). 15 mins to go and it appears that way. Mid-table mediocrity it is for the time being, entebah must be pleased with being the only one to get Valencia right (casperBGD, what happened there?!).

Received thank you jeremy and SB!

Well, ended up being a "good" round after all for me, with nine points and being in 4º position. Looking now for the next round.

Its gonna be hard to predict again if this remains the same, with so many aways wins or upset games.
