Today, in the Spain - Belgium match could be a deciding factor. I'd say it's over, while you'd bet it's under. Well, under doesn't make sense at all. I'm sure Spain will make numerous attacks since the first half.

Spain has been doing that every game of the tournament, and once couldn't score, only made it over the line in the previous, so we know it's not so much how they break people down, it's when. And that first 100 minutes or so might not always be enough.

Ain't got skin in this game, but I'm leaning towards a clean sheet (again) for them Spanish lads. Seems like their star creative guy's benched too... wonder what that'll mean?

Spain have only gone Over once so far, and I hope the Under trend stay consistent for them today, but I think much of that would be depending on how Belgium also respond to Spain approach, and about Pedri starting on the bench tonight, maybe Spain wants less control of the game and are instead going for the more direct Fabian Ruiz, it's hard to tell with Belgium also making multiple changes from their last match match against USA, both Doku and De Bruyne returns.

Well we have a game in the Spain v Belgium match, Spain scored first and Belgium equalized not a bad start at all and we are likely to see more goals 2nd half. I'm just glad it's not a boring game and we getting some action I figured these remaining games would have goals in them since they not all defensively sounds like France but we shall see right.

I was expecting to see goals scored from both sides, and this is exactly what happened.
Tell me buwa what do you think who is going to win bsfl CUP this season, another underdog or you have some favorite in mind?
Maybe Rainbet casino can add odds so we can bet on them, like we had in Sportsbet in previous seasons.

We both guessed the final result wrong in the France - Morocco match, there are still 4 questions left before we go to penalties @leea-1334.

First point for our team, it's easy to predict that there will be more than 2,5 goals. Next is England - Norway match, I expect England to win in FT. If possible, I also hope Harry Kane scores a hattrick in the match, making the "4 or more" answer valid. I don't want to celebrate too soon, but for some reason, I feel like this cup round is going to be mine, @leea-1334 Grin

So this turned out to be a quick exit for our team, that third goal in the Spain vs Belgium game sealed the win for our opponents and we just weren't good enough in the cup this season.
Now we will focus on the league and LMS, we need to work on finding better bench players to reinforce the squad so we can compete better in the cup next season, it's clear to everyone at the club that we have a weak bench right now, so we need to focus on finishing at the top of the league this season as it will give us the budget we need to invest in a stronger squad for the future.

So far, 2 questions and zero points, but my competitor only has one point too. We have a lot of different questions, but it’s always tough to play catch up. Let’s see what the next 3 questions bring. If I lose another one, my competitor will have come out on top, but I hope I’ll still have some luck and it stays exciting.

I was hoping Spain would drag the match after they scored 1-0, but Belgium didn't settle and found an equaliser a few minutes before halftime. It could've been a 1-1 when things stalled in the second half, but Belgium's keeper suddenly getting injured made things easier for Spain to end it on regulation. Congrats to xLays for the early win and for securing semis.

Same thing with my matchup, that Spain question wasn't meant for us, but i'm still happy that I got to top 8 for the first time.

Yes, it was what we went for as a team in Road to Glory but I was stubborn and decided for the harder result. To be fair,,, it was almost 2 goals only

No problem if you get the cup because of Harry Kane hattrick I think if that happens,,, you deserve to be in the semifinal Grin

LOL, it looks like I misunderstood the spreadsheet, I selected "No" for the Norway - England match, which creates a paradox since I was expecting Harry Kane to score a hattrick in the match. Well, I'm now hoping that Norway can just hold England off, I'd like the match to go further, to ET or a penalty shootout Cheesy

Ruined for some, happiness for many others. So far favourites been getting the job done in regular time, hope to see something a bit different with tonight's games... England the banana skin of the round, and that's giving some respect to Norway no?

They're all underdogs in the cup I think -- with all due respect. I normally used to remember betting on somewhat familiar names but el che is already out, and Vivek's a cricket guy with no right to be in the cup (sorry friend haha). Not fun to pick someone already ahead so let me back leea-1334 for now. I like his picks, belief in England and daring to go against the topscorers with only 3? Foolhardy or confident, that's the way I swing!

Let's have a look... My club is one of the numbered clubs with 0 GD which makes us special. Grin

Joking aside we literally can't go positive which is dragging us down.

I guess the next round in the leagues is soon. We are already feeling the sadness of an early elimination in the cup. We'd like to do our best for a top 4 finish. But we need a solid win streak considering the gap being 6 points...
