Oh, what a great news! A week off just in time for my team to take a break, for their manager to enjoy some beers at the bench and then come back even steonger for the rest of the season.

Thought I was the only you felt happy knowing it's break time for my team. A week is a perfect time enough for my team to regain their confidence. With their last performance I am not convinced they can challenge for qualification. Dropped for 3rd place to 5th place which is not good for a team looking to qualify to 3rd division.

No rest for the team, that will be their punishment this time for drawing against Dumper who sits at the relegation zone. It's unacceptable.

cryptofrka, the link to Cup Round 3 questions in the third post of the thread is wrong. It opens Cup Rounds 1&2 questions, instead.
I'm out of the cup, but I was curious to see the questions and noticed the error.

Heh, I did immediately see it and change it, but apparently forgot to save the edited version. It was still open in one of the 30+ tabs I currently have open Grin

It's OK now and you can see the questions. Mafia appreciates your efforts.

A first time for the BSFL cup, to happen two times in a week but I like it! Good luck @Heyshbosh I hope my form continues it would be nice to also progress in cup Wink

It's actually 7-1. Lazy to check, but pretty sure I never lost with such a margin before. What to say, congrats. And sweet dreams..
Will be another LMS rebuy for me as well.

Dang won a freebet too, I don't think I won it in quite a long time now so its definitely a nice big bonus round for me, love World Cup lol

A tense but good win for team because now at top with chance of having promotion still 6 rounds left team needs to keep this momentum because now challenges are going to be increased.

Cup match is now waiting last season team was in top 8 this time needs another good performance like this but its not easy because World Cup games are not easy to predict today filling my replies with confidence of another win and spot into top 8 will increase team moral for having good season and promotion into Division 3 this is target @ajanwalker good luck for cup game.

Koal-84 3-4 ILuckyGuyI

Last week, unfortunately, I lost again. Congratulations to my opponent, it ended up being closer than expected, but in the end, three points are three points for him. However, Cygan and mv1986, who are my partners in the World Cup prediction game, are also struggling this season.

Now it’s time to focus on the cup round. Let’s see whether I can make a comeback there and advance to the next stage, or if this was already my final appearance in the competition.

@Koal-84 so for me, the only thing that matters this season is avoiding relegation to division #4... i've only managed to get one win so far and for now i'm just glad about the cup break...
maybe after that i'll be able to get off to a good re-start in the remaining rounds Wink

Well with now three wins in a row I think I am on an uptrend. As far as I can see, most of the teams ahead of me won their round as well, so that last win didn't make much of a difference except for keeping me in touch with them.

Need to keep up mental pressure on @slaman29, I know he can't take it anymore, feeling my breath in his neck. Next round after the cup he will drop full three points and I'll close the gap! Wink

@Koal-84 nothing lost yet. You probably need like 10/18 points in the last six rounds and I guess you would be safe. In my case maybe 8-9 points would do unless I lose rounds against potential relegators.

I think we had it already, maybe during last EUROs or something like that. It's rare but I'm 99% sure it isn't the first.
We could have asked some generic questions but it's really problematic - so this way is better.

We'll see how the schedule will treat us in the knockouts. Will not be easy to write questions on Sunday for next Sunday Grin

Normally i would be saying something like "a boring week for me since im out of the cup and i dont have BSFL" but since we have plenty of world cup contest and games to be seen and task to be made is not gonna be a big issue this time, in fact i feel like is good to have some hollidays from normal BSFL in the middle of the WC.

After this break i need to recover im starting to be near the bottom.

Nice to get 6 points in LMS, finally the gap is reduced from over 10 points now is more manageable. Too bad,,, now we have to refocus on cup competition this is like hydration break to break flow Grin

Congrats, you secured win very early and left no chance for me. Well deserved and good luck in next rounds.
About Turkey, they always have good squad on paper, arrive with lot of ambitions, but almost always end with disappointment. Since I started to follow football, I can remember only 2 good their tournaments - EURO 2008 and EURO 2024. And I just realized this is first World Cup since 2002 where they have qualified.

Thank you! Ya Turkey is a weird case so many good players playing in Europe but I guess many changed nationality so cannot represent Turkey. Many teams playing in first WC since years, so it is a new generation of idols to be worshipped back home, except for those like Turkey who will surely go back and get a lot of hate Grin

I'm glad that we got a cup week, because at this rate I might score another 1-pointer, given how terrible i've been at predicting these WC matches. Lips sealed

Surely, this week gets better. I'll gladly take a 2-3 point performance and possibly a ticket to round four.

I'm so glad the cup came too at least this can help me from starting a losing streak need to maintain this rhythm that I have got going cause as of now the top 3 in Division 2 has become a very tight race and a few slip ups can be crucial so with said gonna refresh and be ready for next Sunday when the new round starts.

I'm not sure what to think, I won and lifted myself off the bottom, and really above relegation altogether but it's just 2 points off there, one more loss and I'm back down the drain with the rest of you muckers heh heh. Could have been nice to keep things rolling for momentum, I feel like I maybe get much more joy when it's all about the footie..?

I guess I'll be cheering on captain buway here

Woop woop, darxiaomi are we getting some of your promised fans our way?

Sadly I lost another round and that is now confirmed but luckily difference didnt change a lot from the top.
Now I have to focus for the Cup and finally try to get into next phase of this competition, after many failed seasons.
I like that all questions are from the World Cup and I am ready to win again.

Man Messi is the goat he misses a pen and still scores a two piece if not for the missed pen he would've had another hat trick that's mad. Argentina defense is good too can't forget about that as well this Knockout round gonna be some crazy shit but they are looking great right now, still have a few more games to go today let's see how Haaland and Mbappe do. Grin

And I have lost the lead in Division 1 by only one point. Tongue

I had a really good advantage before the end of the last round. But we will focus on our next matches to recover.

There are cup matches on this week but it is sad not to be a part of it for me. An early elimination wasn't a thing that we expected. Now we need to go for the league championship to make up for it.

It was in season 7, during 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. You posted the second round of cup questions on Thursday after the group stage matches ended.
Below is the announcement you made in that time.

Quote from: cryptofrka on June 22, 2025, 07:20:48 PM

As already announced - be careful. This time we do Cup a bit differently, considering that we don't know the knockout pairs in the WCC yet.
These questions are only for Round 1 - from Tuesday till Friday. Round 2 questions will be posted on Thursday - and will be for questions during the weekend.

It’s never exciting for me having a cup round when I’m out here losing in this tournament. I’m not as confident and I once was which gets worst knowing that, I can’t afford to lose in this round else, it’s game over for me. I haven’t even opened the questions yet but, I figure it’s not going to be anything cheap either. Would just swing it, after all, nothing seems to work.

Mbappe really trying to keep pace with Messi and I'm here for it, old teammates fighting for World Cup glory and Mbappe trying to get the golden boot again. The winner will be hard to determine but most likely will come down the already know few i don't think we will see any crazy surprises but who knows this has been a very unpredictable tournament at times.
