Bayern are being playful right about now, how do you go down 3 nil and expect to show the world why you are supreme in champions league football...I know City is a different beast when it comes to playing at the Etihad Stadium but i never saw this coming.

Halaad my man just one more shot on target and its evens 

Benfica another  disappointing performance

@Harkorede : dang we both had the same answers on the 1st and 2nd question, way to go. Frankly that Im quite happy that with the results from UCL then thought to myself that Im doing good this time only to know that we both had the same answers  


Well Im not sure how Bayern Munich is going to crawl back from this 3 goals but the 2nd leg of this game is going to be really interesting to watch

[cryptofrka]

Truly a fantastic performance by City. The new tactic element with Stones playing as a midfielder is really allowing them to build their attacks steadily and they have destroyed Liverpool and now Bayern with it.
It will be curious to see how teams will set up against this in the future.

I counted 2 shots on target by Haaland, UEFA stats don't show that specific statistic. bet365 shows 2 as well so far, but I'll recheck again tomorrow - sometimes it is changed later.
I don't think it will be though - I don't recall any other shot from Haaland that could be measured as 'on target' other than the 2 he's got.

I had Haaland Over 2.5 shots on target and you have the opposite, so you're currently in the lead

Same here, all my sources shows just 2 shots on target, I didn't watch the first half of the game but the first short on target was said to be an early one, and the second was supposedly the goal he scored, I'd say and I didn't see him attempt any other short, however, there is a slight possibility it could change because there as blocked shot, so I don't how far that was or if it was goal bound to be considered a shot on target, although I doubt it.

Yes, I saw only two shots on target, despite missing some of the game (I left after the first half and returned in the 75th minute, so I missed about 25 minutes of action), but I can confirm that he only had one shot in the first half. Blocked shots on goal do not count as shots on target; they count as shots, but I can't be sure because there are so many new rules. I've always had doubts about Inter, and they keep making me look like an idiot. I and my opponent both received zero points.

we can boldly say that both Mnachester city and Inter are through to the next round

[slackovic]

Well, I'm losing 1-0 to ralle14 because Halland can't shootout on target. The guy is scoring like a maniac and now when I need him to shoot more, he chokes. Well.... I hope I'll do better in the remaining of the week. I don't wanna lose now that I'm so close to finishing second in this first season.

And what happened to Benfica? I didn't watch the game but I see that they had 12 shots and only two on target.

Shots are statistically divided into 3 categories - shots on target, shots off target and blocked shots.
If a shot was going on target but was blocked, it won't be counted into the 'on target' category.

Most sources count posts and crossbars as off target as well.

It's not that common for players to have 3 or more shots on target. Haaland played a great game yesterday and still remained under 2,5.

[Woodie]

And that's how seed 7 was lost, ladies and gentlemen...

This is why gambling is so hard, Miami heats lost on their own turf(Kaseya Center), and most of  us at least myself I expected the Heats to show up for the party and win because the numbers were in their favor, but losing to the Hawks ouch!

Guess they will battle it out for seed 8 and am hoping they lose just to get even with them

For such competitions and these extra stats, do we have anybody better than whoscored

Btw these guys also had Halaad at exactly 2 shots, but if it changes hope it goes over 2.5 lol

[slaman29]

@slaman29 I've been waiting for this match for a very long time! I still haven't forgotten the knockout round from the world cup where you won 6-3 and got me knocked out of the tournament!😂
Now it's my turn to get revenge! (I hope) 😁

@cls63 Very cool that we see the statistics very interesting! Keep it up😁

I have gone through the questions and as usual this will not be easy!😁😂

Good luck guys

Oh god Slissy, I totally forgot about that, I guess it is not consolation for you that I had to settle for 3rd place, but it was very nice to see my name on a bookie actually, let's see if I can make another journey in this cup too.

City was incredibly tough, and Cro2 really found a way to make the question so tricky, so congrats to those who got 2/2. Haaland to score under 2.5 was actually very sensible, but I was not sure about City shots, I really expected Bayern to be much more solid.

NBA was a bit surprising yea, Lakers needed overtime as well. Now the more interesting games begin so more upsets are to be expected.

I did check whoscored, they are good for this sort of things but cannot be considered official. Still, it is a good confirmation to have.
Official CL statistics has City on 9 shots on target and I remember all 9 shots - so Haaland is definitely on 2.

Yeah, but after that many goals scored in the past few games, I expected him to at least have more than two shots on target. Maybe it wasn't meant to be. Never mind... I still have eight more questions to win over my opponent.

It's not that common for players to have 3 or more shots on target. Haaland played a great game yesterday and still remained under 2,5.

Haaland is a young player who appears as a quite aggressive attacker and he even always takes advantage of the opportunities that exist to make a shot.
In every Mancester City match that takes place, Haaland always gets a good chance to shoot on target and produce a goal, so it's not surprising that Haaland has had more than 2 shots on target.
While playing with Mancester City Haaland always showed his prowess.

Many people say Haaland will be a dangerous player in Mancester City and will surpass his father's achievements when he was also in Mancester City.

Haaland is not an ordinary person, he is a monster who endangers the goals of his team's opponents.

[notblox1]

Oh man, there is hope for me, Round 8 finally started really good for me, I was correct about Benfica vs Inter outcome and about City Haaland shots on target
I hope this will continue today and in next days, and there is a lot more matches left, but I wish I could change my prediction now for Milan vs Napoli.

It's not that common for players to have 3 or more shots on target. Haaland played a great game yesterday and still remained under 2,5.

Haaland is in lifetime form and if City continues like this in next rounds he could be best player of the year.
Same could happen in Premier League, he scored 30 goals there and he is not planning to stop soon.

Kao jedan od onih koji sudjeluju, a nisu pravi sportski fanatici (možda sam i jedini tamo ) mogu ti reći da je stvarno sve vrlo jednostavno. Ne obaziri se puno na pravila kojih ima jako puno. Izgleda kao da su Trofo i cryptofrka zaposlili pravnika da im napiše pravila Jednostavno u ponedjeljak ili utorak odvojiš 10-tak minuta da prođeš pitanja. Ako si fanatik, na većinu pitanja ćeš odgovoriti iz glave. Ako si poput mene i ne pratiš sport toliko, trebat će ti koja minuta više dok malo pogledaš prošlu statistiku za neke sportove. U svakom slučaju fora natjecanje.

Pričali smo puno oko toga - svjesni smo da hrpa ljudi otvori thread i vidi koliko pravila ima i jednostavno odustane.
Na žalost - jednostavno ih moraš napisati. Vidiš i sam koliko pitanja bude u threadu oko stvari koje nisu u pravilima, a ne želimo da 10k$ u nagradama (sad već vj je pošto je BTC rastao) bude podložno različitim tumačenjima.

Cilj nam i je da su pravila jasno napisana ali da ih nitko zapravo ne mora čitati - što i sam vidiš da uglavnom i je slučaj. Trebat će nam neko vrijeme da uvjerimo ove nevjernike ali doći ćemo i do toga

I'm gonna reply here to keep the quoted thread clear, cause we went out of topic

The tournament is already started, and if I join, actually, I'm starting with a decent handicap in missed points
As I'm very competitive by nature, and, of course it's all about to win, not only participate  I'm going to follow you guys and look forward to join your next tournament

Actually, I don't think you can join now for the league competition. But you can join to compete for freebets each week like Rikafip did. And when the next season starts, the guys will put you in a certain division.

Yep, as slackovic said - you can't join now. You can play for a weekly 10$ freebet though - and get a feel of how the competition works.
This season is ending end of May and then the Divisions will be expanded - so if you submit your application you would reserve your spot in the 3rd Division that is starting beginning of June. That season will last until December and as things currently stand, there are only 2 more spots available.

In case of more interest we will of course expand the 3rd Division - but if you plan on playing please sign up in a dedicated thread - it will make our planning easier.

Welcome, always glad to expend on our Croatian clan in gambling section. Knowing you from before your disappearance  , this competition should be something that fits you good. Too bad you missed our cup by one round but new season will start soon.

I would advise that you play these last few rounds just to get feel for it.

I almost went over on the SOTs as well since I thought they won't give Bayern any chances at home but good thing that his average SOTs convinced me to go for the under.  

NBA was a bit surprising yea, Lakers needed overtime as well. Now the more interesting games begin so more upsets are to be expected.

That Lakers vs Wolves game was so stressful to watch as both teams would take turns going hot and cold during the third and fourth quarter.  

[buwaytress]

it is a proper Merseyside derby
we will try to resemble Ancelotti era in Everton, not Lampard in this round

answers are in the spreadsheet, and ready to start

Benfica and City tonight, have to say that I am really doubtful in this QF round, still thinking about Superbru picks and not sure what to bet on expect goals between City and Bayern

I'll do my best to at least be King Kenny, Rafa, or even Houllier, then in that case. I don't even dare to say names for fear of invoking spirits of bad juju, but man, I still remember Ancelotti joy when you guys had your best start in a long time.

1-0 to you and I can thank Haaland for keeping me in the game. I have a feeling I've already lost NBA. I went for Bulls... but if they win tonight they still have to beat Heat, heh heh...
