Off to a solid start for team, Arsenal and Raya upheld their end of the bargain really and I could have asked for more from them, maybe not scoring early also had it's advantage as to why they were able to keep the clean sheet, anyways it's a 2/2 start for this time and against Slissy it's 1 down, 4 more to go... We go again tomorrow with Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid.

Ahhh man!! Again i got a bad start!!! I knew I shouldn't change my answer from 0 goal to 1 goal on Sporting daaaamn!! I think Barcelona will win today but I'm not sure if they will win by more than 1 goal but i really need this points😁

+1
I just checked, and indeed there are only two questions left. Out of the 10, only 4 are different.

Thanks for confirming. I usually get it wrong when I am trying to read the possibilities based on the picks made, I somehow miss something very obvious or should be.

You don’t even need any more points if we both get red on those two questions… and if a miracle happens, there’s only a chance for a tie. In any case, the game isn’t over until we get to those last two questions Roll Eyes

It is never over until it is. Those 2 remaining different question can really be anyone's game.

mitchr4 and i also had a really rough start yesterday and both ended up with 0 points Grin

i quickly went over the rest of the questions and found that we had different answers on 3 of them (excluding questions/answers on #5 and #10)

You and me both, yesterday could have gone so much better. What is worse, I had correct answers on both questions when I was checking them and then changed them yesterday to loosing ones.

At least my opponent is doing equally bad.

Oh, it looks like yassinmanai gave me a free pass in this round. I thought I've gone blind while searching for his submission, only to see that he didn't even submit. Now all I need to fight for are three (or more if needed) correct answers. The round didn't start as I expect with two wrong answers, but I see that a lot of us started the same

I'm currently 1-0 up thanks to Bayern Munich. It's great that Bayern won. They're the favorites for this round, and even the big favorites for the Champions League right now. I knew Lisbon wouldn't score in the other match, but I still predicted they would, and they lost 0-1. That prediction was wrong. I'm 1-0 up for now. I need to win this week. I suffered a heavy defeat in the first week.

My team had a very good start in this round again and is already leading 2:0 against their opponent.
I followed Bayern in the group stage of the Champions League and they played great, and in my opinion they are the biggest favorites to win the Champions League this season.
On the other hand, Real is in a huge crisis this season, last weekend they practically lost their chance to win the Spanish championship and I had a feeling that this match would not end well for them either, and I was right.
Arsenal is also playing great this season, both in the domestic championship and in the Champions League, their defense is really solid and I also believed that Sporting would have a hard time scoring a goal and I was right.
This competition is slowly becoming more interesting to me, and now at least I follow certain matches with more attention and interest (and also some new sports that I have never heard of before). Grin

Yeah, just don't get used to it. When the BSFL started, I had an amazing streak with no losses in the season 1. There were few draws, but I didn't lose one single game in the first season. But then luck has turned its back to me and I still can't get it to turn back around. Just look at my first two rounds in this season - in the first round I had two correct answers and this week I again started with two red ones.

It's a relief that we both got the same answers from yesterday's matches, so nothing to sweat out for now. Grin

The Barcelona question should be the first deciding point, and then the H2H questions. This could end up being a quick round if one of us gets the first two points.

So I’m 1-0 down after last night, I really thought Real would do something special at home. Kinda pathetic, seems like any team Mbappe goes to doesn’t perform in the latter stages of the CL.

Not looking forward to watching Liverpool tonight, have a feeling it will be ugly for us.

Damn zero points from first two question, and now I need to win a lot more points to avoid paying LMS to mafia, Sad

This was a serious blow for my plans in this season, and now I can only save my skin and get a draw in this round if Dortmund wins against Bayer Leverkusen.
I never liked having so many identical answers as my opponents, but now I have to bribe Leverkusen players to lose Grin

Ahhh i was expecting a lot more from Real Madrid, i know in paper the Bayer Munich as a whole is a much better team than them but since this is Champions League and Real Madrid played on home condition i went with them, waiting for another magic "europe night" at madrid.

Yeah, same here. Getting very frustrating for me in BSFL. Follow the research, bomb. Follow the gut, also bomb. If I don't get a win here, it's going to be a long and lonely climb to just fight for the right to stay in the table.

Div2 I just saw also got its first dropout... free points to someone who already had a win, and bad news for the rest of us ha!

Have the same bad feeling, but I hope we're both wrong. You know, we still came back to Anfield all those years ago with 3 goals to overcome and that was a great team. I'm not sure what to do with this one. Hoping Wirtz and Eki pick us up and deliver the goods.

Horrible sensation that, when you are eating with your family and you heard the knock knock on the door of your house and when you see through the peephole you see two horribles person who comes to try to get their LMS fee. Angry

They dont respect anything.

As i stated yesterday im still alive but i dont know if im gonna survive this LMS cut, the good thing is we are already a lot of people and maybe that can save me if i dont have a good round.

Me too

And now my opponent @Jinetics111, seems to be making such a strong start to the season, well done on picking Bayern bro. I knew it was the proper result but I thought I would put my trust in Mbappe and home advantage,,, that was the worst decision to make judging from reading the game report.

It's a shame that Mbappe didn't score the second goal to equalize with Bayern at 2:2, for me Real certainly deserved it. It was a superb game, but I didn't manage to get the score right. However, Arsenal made it without scoring, and that means I have a 1:0 lead against my opponent. I have already secured a draw, as only one question between us is different—the one involving Dortmund—and that question can only go my way or his. Nothing left to do but enjoy today's UCL and await the clash of Dortmund vs. Leverkusen.

Hah, I just saw that there are only 3 different answers between me and hosemary, meaning not to a very exciting much. Then again, every different answer will be very important, so maybe that brings some excitement.

Yes, lucky me, I suppose... I would agree that Barcelona should win this one, I really didn't take it into account that Barcelona is playing at home first, but not withstanding I don't mind Barcelona winning by a single goal margin, it would be win and not lose situation for me compared to if they have to win by multiple goals, that simply translate to win, lose for me... However, should I be able to secure this as second point advantage, then it's going to be a wrap, because my team aren't going to throw away a 2 point out of possible 5 advantage.

After the start I had last season I had to make a lot of changes this season seems ok for now just need consistency, as far as my picks I don't know but Real losing on the weekend didn't bode well for me so I chose Bayern based off that and plus Bayern has been in some great form too.

Slissy second guessing man that shit is a killer bro just go with the gut and don't look back Grin

Quite a few casualties in tennis, which should bode well for the main men Sinner and Alcaraz. Just noticed that I got you MAAManda, don't think we've ever paired up before, and we have got so many different answers that it should be a fun trashing, or another high-scoring draw. Just need LMS safety or I'll be paying a double fee this weekend...

Down by a man, down by a goal... Only God know what it is with this Barcelona and Atletico Madrid fixtures and red card always been issued, I don't think I can complain much since it's currently working in my favor, and the result could stir much closer to all 3 points for this round as well as potential LMS safety as early Wednesday Cheesy
