And Tsitsipas lost and ended the only hope for Bonta winning q8. Now if Mendveded wins I win, otherwise we draw.
Another shock result, but so far my tennis picks aren't among them.

Meanwhile my opponent is actually one of the few users that picked neither Medvedev, nor Tsitsipas / Sinner, so I'm already at a disadvantage for that question, however,  I still can't back his pick of Hurkacz vs Zverev, Hurkacz, simply because Hurkacz could still face Rublev and Medvedev in the Quarter final and semi finals consecutively, that's quite a huge task to ask of him imo, while Zverev is also likely to face Sinner too, It's going to be tough, so I have to commend him for his predictions too because I don't think they're only just some gutsy picks, but rather some insightful ones. Had he not been my opponent for this week, I really would have wished he would win the round or at the very least that tennis section.

Thanks man for the kind words.

Well i was quite surprised when i see the answer all picking the top seeds only. My picks were based on the surface, because grass its a very strange one, and i look the win percentage of the player on grass and pick my boys, Hurzack i see he was the last champion on Halle so i think he can be good again. Zverev (i dont like his form) its local and have a good % of win on grass.

I think most of tennis players also doesnt train in grass because are only a few tournament and their choose to be better on hard or clay surface.

For example all the players from my country (Argentina), and Spain are speciallist on Clay, and Clay its the most slow one, and grass its the most rapid, so the 100% of tennis players from Argentina its well know are in disadvantage when they play on grass.

But well this its tennis and this boys arent reliable so i dont know if mines are gonna be winner selections.

Damn, arallmuus... you really didn't have to give such a walkover, would have been 2-1 now and quite a number of different answers so I'm definitely "relieved" for the free pass as it looks at the moment. Still hoping I earn it on merit anyway, would make me feel a hell lot better.

Well whatever the result is, its pretty guaranteed that you are going to win this round though especially because my H2H question wont be counted so thats an easy question to get a point from so yeah

Totally cant help it as I had important thing to attend to and by the time Im dont with it, it was already late to submit it so I decided to take a shower to cool my head off as I know Im fucked either way 

[Slissy]

England 0-2 and Germany 1-1 so the correct answer is 3-4 goals on question 4. England had 1 goal disallowed and Germany missed 2 penalty. Germany played 45 min with 1 player more. This was badly played by them 😂

congrats jayce on winning already 😁 I have to pull myself together now 😂

Yeah we have 15/16 winners there, one of the participants @bonta guessed 2 or less is this option available? as far as I remember it was not available
Another match is ongoing France v Italy this is in the 5th question, I guess Gnonto to score or Assist, Italy not to lose,YES. But I didn't see this player in the lineup
If Wilfried Gnonto is played in the 2nd round or in the last minutes it's clear that my chances are getting smaller, while my opponent @maamanda answered NO

The current score is France 1 - 1 Italy, it's a goal recently scored by Pietro Pellegri for Italy. Amine Gouiri didn't do well in this match, I doubt I can win question 5. Let's hope that Gnonto won't play because Pellegri played very well .

PSG's just booked their spot in the top bracket, BetBoom was leading it for a long time until today, now it's just left for GG's game, but I'm not sure how the table works. According to Liquipedia, "GD" is on BetBoom's side even if GG gets a 2-0 and ties for the 5-2. Cro2, how would that work? Is there a game difference score or just H2H?

Hey, looks like you were one of the weirdos picking Belgium not to lose and under 2.5gs, and got today's U21 game right, so it's actually... 2-2 right now, throwing yourself a nice lifeline over there (thank Germany and England for so many wasted chances) I know, I know, huge disadvantage still to climb.

@Igebotz feeling the heat yet? =D

This was really a close one again after there were 3 goals in the first half. I checked the standings in half-time and thought that @ulven will win this one as he went with 5 or more. Didn't even check again during the game, but this reminds me a bit of the Manchester City game when I got lucky and early goals were scored and then nothing happened anymore until the end of the game, which obviously was extremely unlikely. But it is as it is, as long as the goals have not been scored, I guess they have not been scored

You seem to have experienced a comparable experience during a recent game. Soccer matches may be unpredictable, and early goals can occasionally raise the stakes and build anticipation for more goals throughout the course of the match. After an initial burst of goals, there are cases, as you indicated, where the scoring slows down or even ceases. Because of the nature of the game, this can heighten the tension and unpredictability.
I think you were lucky to choose 4 goals after the Germans missed penalty kicks. That's why we are now tied, waiting for the rest of the results.

[darxiaomi]

Fuck man. Thanks Hurzack thorwing all my "analysis" to the bin hahahaha.

And Tsitsipas lost and ended the only hope for Bonta winning q8. Now if Mendveded wins I win, otherwise we draw.

Aging all this like shit.

Well, heads up and now thinking in the other answers, i go bold on choosing NO in the NBA draft. Lets see how it ended.

Yes Germany miss two penalties....

[notblox1]

It looks like Trofo and me are competing who is going to make worse result in this round, we both have zero correct answers and we didnt wrote all the same answers  

PSG's just booked their spot in the top bracket, BetBoom was leading it for a long time until today, now it's just left for GG's game, but I'm not sure how the table works. According to Liquipedia, "GD" is on BetBoom's side even if GG gets a 2-0 and ties for the 5-2. Cro2, how would that work? Is there a game difference score or just H2H?

You are actually following DOTA?
I just picked random teams and if I win against DOTA expert lover, it is going to be pure luck.
Maybe one member of Cro2 played some tournaments like this and have insider information.

Is ayone watching tennis?
Alcaraz was almost out from Rinderknech in the first match, but he played much better in second match.
I played for him to get kicked out early, so I hope he loses against Dimitrov.

[Jinetics1111]

Safe to say this round is pure hell for most of us.

We are both away from homes for a couple of days so you get only limited coverage.

I am on river Zrmanja, rafting with buddies from work and cell signal isn't what it should be. At situations like this I really appreciate outdated design of bitcointalk. It is the only web page I frequent which works almost normally   

Can't access Liquipedia and check exact situation but if everything is same, tie breakers are played. On other words one map match.

[slaman29]

Nice reading a lot about pitch and how it makes a difference for tennis, nice discussions guys, but I'll stick to good players most of the time anyway. Why because it might be easy to see player performance for top seeds but it is less accurate for low ranking players I believe, especially because the level of records is lower there.

It seems the DOTA tiebreaker is happening indeed, and games record has no meaning but I wonder why they keep track of it then?

Also, Cro2, Wow rafting on a river and still can get data, complete opposite for me, if I go back to nature, we don't even have normal phone lines, enjoy the trip Cro2 you deserve it

[slackovic]

I just checked the spreadsheet and it looks like I'm on a good track not to lose this weekend. I have only one different answer that mitchr4 and that's DOTA. After Trofo teach me about Liquipedia, I guess I will lose that question so we will end up with a draw.

Btw, here in Croatia we had a holiday yesterday so bench of people (Including me) went on a vacation. I'm not sure how it is in other cointries but in Croatia we like to take a day off from work if we have a holiday on Tuesday or Thursday. That way we get four days vacation with just one day off from work

[casperBGD]

a bit off-topic, but that should be usual practice (in Serbia that is also practice)

regarding round, it could end-up each way, me and LTU having three different answers, both tennis and DOTA
not following DOTA development, but tennis depend on Alcaraz finishing in London, and Sinner entering finals should give me point (Tsitsi already being out, can't lose that one)

[jayce]

congrats jayce on winning already 😁 I have to pull myself together now 😂

Too early man, too early. We have similar remaining answers except the last two. Those are our final games, which you could turn the table by winning both of them and hit draw result. Good luck Slissy!

Not do I only think I was lucky with this one (and the Manchester City game back then as well), I definitely know I was lucky when afterwards I heard about the penalties and even the fourth goal in the last few minutes. That was a lucky round for me. But I have to say that these sweats are also often the most fun, aren't they? It is either or, I hope for no goal to be scored and you hope for the last moment score. If Rublev and Medvedev both get into the semi finals, we have an amazing match to follow as only one of us will win the point and we have a direct duel between the players that are left from our selections. That's fun and I hope we get to see that match Rublev vs. Medvedev.

Enjoying the round and you deserve a lucky one as well!

[Igebotz]

@Igebotz feeling the heat yet? =D

Hits like crack, This is by far the worst round and I have yet to score a goal, my opponent is leading me by three goals, and it appears that you have already won the H2H questions free bets race as well + 1mBTC side bet 

Not gonna watch these U21 games anymore, I've lost so many bets on these flops.

[Renato297]

This round has been one of the worst for me with only 1 hit in the answers so far, after Sinner's retirement now we only depend on the dota question if there will be a winner or if it will be a tie

Ah right, yeah I see the tiebreaker scheduled later today now -- doesn't then it seem pointless to have a "goal difference" table there also?

Anyway, enjoy the break guys! I too really appreciate bitcointalk being extra lite and easy to use on phone (well okay, not easy in terms of actually navigating).

Anyway, looks good either way for me, but @arallmuus I have to say we actually are quite close (if we actually count all scores as equal)

Hits like crack, This is by far the worst round and I have yet to score a goal, my opponent is leading me by three goals, and it appears that you have already won the H2H questions free bets race as well + 1mBTC side bet
