Sad to not have the weekly reward if nothing change in the short term, but well we can do nothing about it and its not the fault of anyone so heads up and keep pushing for the main prize.

About the games from this round, they were all short results, i was expecting this in the Real Madrid Getafe game, since Getafe plays a full "haramball" football ( i think you already saw the meme).

Any ideas for the upcoming Clasico? 
I see that Real Madrid's odds have improved a little bit, (even though Barcelona performed better in the Champions League but the level of their opponents allowed it) and have changed from 2.10 to 2.04. I think Real will win, but I'm biased. The BTTS odds caught my attention: Yes - 1.33 No - 3.15
Aren't the odds >3 for BTTS No good any day? Statistics from recent meetings show the opposite, but it’s hard for me to imagine that the outcome is so predetermined.

The last two games at the Bernabéu, Barcelona thrashed Real really well. I think they definitely want revenge, but is it possible that Real will go all-out attack and win the game? From my perspective, it’s unlikely. They’re playing some decent football but still struggling to win matches. Maybe an honest draw (1–1) is the most likely result, and there will definitely be 5+ yellow cards.

I dont know what to expect for this spanish derby at all.

Barcelona when they play well and in full motion are one of the best teams in the world, but when they dont have all the players and something went off they are a shit team, so we relly on how they wake up that day.

Real Madrid seems strong but is not that strong, the new and young midfield is not so trustworthy as it used to be.

[bangjoe]

Can anyone explain this with Superbru?

I made a score prediction for the Leeds United vs West Ham United match today with a score of 2-1 which was won by Leeds, but after I locked all my goal predictions, on the preview list board that made predictions, my score prediction changed to 2-2, I reset the page repeatedly, but it didn't change.







Edit: OK, everything is done, and my predictions are correct.

8 wins out of 9 La Liga games and 3 wins out of 3 in the Champions League. The average goal-scoring rate is over 2 goals per game. I don't see any problems with winning. You're probably looking at games like the vile Getafe or the half-dead Juventus which were dreaming of survival. But Barcelona won't play like that, I think it will be an open game and yes, with a lot of yellow cards.
By the way, BTTS Yes increased to 1.29, haha.

Lol if we get a clean sheet, it will be a miracle and never before seen odds.

If we get 0-0, I think both coaches will be extremely unhappy. For sure I will be disappointed.

In Clasico, a draw is worse than a loss when you need to win, and 0-0 is worse than losing 5-4. Thats always my opinion when it comes to things like this

But 3.5 Barca (If you boost with Sportsbet even better) wow, what an odds!

[buwaytress]

^ Score was not looking good for Barca, even if they pulled one back, and with those two disallowed goals, but I feel like they can grab a couple more. Play is just too tight to call right now though. Just maybe the bookies were right on this one, even though I thought it was value for Barca. 30 minutes to go though, plenty should still happen.

Hard to feel excited about anything right now though, nursing wounds from Liverpool's worst run in 5 years.

I have to admit that Real got deserved win. This season catching opponents in offside doesn't works that effective anymore. We were lucky few times when VAR cancelled Real goals or penalty. While in attack we weren't dangerous. It's not that surprising with all injuries - Barca don't have squad depth. Yamal also looks disappointing and already starts to remind Neymar with all activities outside the pitch. And now like we don't have enough problems, Pedri got stupid red card.

For me, this was one of the worst El Clasico games in a long time. Based on the quality of the football, I don’t think Real had more than maybe 35% possession for the whole game. They had a lot of chances and still only managed a 2:1 win against a Barcelona side that’s like Swiss cheese in defense. As for Yamal, I don’t know what happened to him — he’s starting to look like a very average player. I don’t remember him creating a single chance.

I thought it was a good Clasico - emotions, goals, what else do you need? Real "earned" more goals but scored only two, that happens. Yamal looks the way he should – PR has elevated him, but to achieve this level, he needs to work hard and put in impressive performances, not just occasionally, but consistently. It's clear that Yamal is more suited to Neymar's path. There is no surprise for me here, I wrote about this a long time ago.

Congrats to morvillz7z for winning the Round 10 Yellow Cap

Only could watch the game earlier today after grieving for the last 24 hours, and on that basis I have to agree.

Mbappe I think had 5 offsides but you can't keep springing this trap cause there are plenty of others ready to step in. 2 cancelled goals as you said saved us from further humiliation. Yamal, I don't know man, he needs to learn from the past and keep his mouth shut, and stop acting like you want to retire at 25.

Going to be a looonng season for us

I cant believe how bad are the Ego of some of the new era players, i saw in the news something like Yamal Pedri and one more guy unfollow Carvajal after the clasico, they cant be this child, i mean they need to grow as a man and stop this stupid behavior right now.

I really hope the coachs call them and other grow man from the team and start to put them in line.

  there's a great atmosphere in the Spanish national team.
And yes, it's a disgusting situation, players are allowed too much. If modern coaches/managers of clubs and national teams had balls, then Yamal and all sorts of swindlers like Isak would receive not millions for their rudeness, but suspensions from games and fines. Ultimately, clubs and federations have leverage: if a player doesn't play in games, he can't profit from his media exposure (those who play will get the media exposure).

And I don’t expect anything else from kids who are full of themselves and have never seen proper upbringing in their lives. That’s what happens when you combine big money and success with an 18-year-old who isn’t mentally strong. There are too many “stars” these days who think they’re something special and then fall apart when they reach the top because of their arrogance. You need to run, work for the fans, and keep quiet. That’s it and let the older and more experienced players handle things for you.

Problem is clubs don't have a real captain in the dressing room any more. Can you imagine one of these kids doing that in Puyol era? Or even better in Ferguson/Keane era? On the first sign of head in the clouds they would get smacked behind the ears and they would learn that no matter fancy dribbling there is hierarchy in the club and respect to be earned before becoming a star.

Even if there were such players in modern football, 99% of chairman's would get rid of them before taking their side against the new shiny star. Money is on their side unfortunately and today it is all about money. You can't send Yamal to bench for a month since his agent would immediately sell him to PSG or somewhere and you would loose hell of a player and a lot of money. In the long run that makes it worse for players in question.

Very sad situation. Everyone is influencer now, and footballer is sort of the thing they will do and retire from to take on fulltime influencing role.

I hate social media and hate how its turning everything into stupid dumb shit.

You know we can all abandon football one day but all the kids will still be paying to watch it.

You know World Cup tickets now are so expensive even with lottery system I read starts at $250 for first stage games. This is all the social media effect.

This is the price of progress: now everyone is just a click away from each other on a smartphone screen, and people with large numbers of followers have real power that even exceeds their "main" skills/achievements.
As for the ticket prices, it's complete nonsense, but it's not just inflation, I think it's the US effect - these idiots are trying to sell at the highest price and will end up in the same shameful situation as at the Club World Cup, when the discount on tickets reached 90% and we saw empty stands.

Its definitely not just inflation. In the US you have things like Superbowl. Nobody who really watches or plays it are the ones who go because ticket prices are so high its just for influencers and rich people. So now they are doing the same thing I can't believe early access people who got the cheapest tickets get one for over $200 bucks WTF.

WC is never going to be something I can watch unless they host it next door to me but even then if prices are this much, football is gone for the normal dudes.

La Liga wanting to play games in Middle East and in USA is not helping this situation either.
