Reminder to Trofo and hosemary - you need to rebuy LMS if you plan to continue.

Buy back sent: a09c1a32dcfc86dca35ad3c060999877faeaeb9258a759da7035e9ab756f9112

Good thing you sent out reminder, I like to think I would remember anyway but not 100% sure. Cup week threw me of my game a bit. Time to get right back into the grove.

It sure felt like a long pause, I can't remember when I filled the answers last time, it is nice that BSFL resumed again.

Just submitted the answers, hope I will somehow manage to climb up the ladder on score board a little bit.

Sinner is back-to-back Wimbledon champion. After watching first 2 sets it looked that it will be very long 5 sets thriller, but then Zverevfall down on court and probably it was crucial moment. He didn't got injury, but after this moment Sinner took over initiative.
Finally back to BSFL action.

Argentina keep getting lucky in this World Cup, had a bit of problems with 10 men Swiss, yes they did overcome but come on now although that goal from Alvarez was sweet I can't see them beating France cause it's pretty obvious FIFA wants the rematch between again. France should be able to beat them this time around without pens, but I guess we have to see how this final four plays out first, the Argentina v England match should be good hopefully should see some goals there.

I'm not so sure that FIFA want rematch between Argentina and France that much. Spain vs England wouldn't be much worse game. IMO, all 4 remaining teams have very similar chances to lift trophie. Yeah, maybe when you see how Argentina is playing, they have smallest chance, but their path reminds me how Portugal won EURO in 2016

Somehow we still find a way to grind out results and reach the semifinals.

I hope Argentina will start showing up decent results because I've lost my bets on them for the quarterfinals. I thought the odds was juicy so I took it but turns out its another extra time. I need them to win against England, not for any specific reason but the odds are just good lol Roll Eyes

Can't wait for the final 5 BSFL matches!
I'm currently on the brink of ruining my strong season start....fortunately my team still has it in its own hands!
My team actually thrives in such situations since they experienced the same volatility last season!
We are exactly where we wanted to be (straight face)!

Actually feeling like I should submit picks today but something tells me there could be important news tomorrow that will change my mind about 1 or 2 things so I'll wait

I totally missed that Wimbledon was happening wtf lol, mad respect to Djokovic to get to semifinal but man he is unlucky that Sinner and Alcaraz are always lurking for him.

it's derby time in division #3, because in the 13th round, i'm finally facing off against my local buddy, Koal-84! Cool

for me, it's a matter of survival - to stay in contention for a spot in the safe zone, a win is the only thing that counts!
i'll submit my ten answers in the next few minutes...

For me, trying to stay positive and focus in front. If I see it from the best perspective I need 2 wins to get to the top,,, if I see it from the worst perspective, the guys below me need 2 win to put me in their place Grin

I honestly do not know how to get more out of my team. Going to cup QF was such a tough job and it was not enough to motivate them to do more. I feel like I should just stop attending trainings and let them play without pressure.

Oh, I have another "six point" round ahead of me. This time it's against imarios who had 1 point advantage over me and sits in the 2nd place. I hope that this round goes better than the last round when I lost 6-4 to HomieAllDay. My goal isn't to win the Division 3, but to end up on one of the three top spots that gets me promoted to Division 2.

My players are unfitted right now, we are gonna have to do a super fast warm up for the next game, the long rest could be a huge problem for us or not.

Plus i come from the lose on the road to glory so im not in a good mood right now. I hope to at least made a comeback in this competition and that comeback i hope it is with a win.

Strong opponent now with @Rikafip, but no matter what, I am sure that @cryptofrka would thank me if I beat him Wink

Thanks to that one crazy round my score difference looks pretty nice, could give me a decisive edge in the end. First of all three points against Rikafip though.

Can't actually wait for the France - Spain game. I think we will see a more defensive Spain than usual, probably acting more from their own half instead of proactively pressing all the time. Giving France too much room to play their high speed attacks feels like a mistake because I don't think Spain is on that same level. A good day for Mbappe and it is 2-0 after half an hour.

Yes, it's derby time for us, we are both currently find themselves near the bottom of the table. It is fair to say that this match is extremely important for both sides. A victory would be crucial for us, as we are both currently occupying relegation and playoff spots. The situation is therefore very clear, both will do everything they can to secure all three points and create some breathing room in the standings.

However, in a derby, the league table is not the only thing that matters. Passion, determination, and the desire to give everything for your club often play an equally important role. That is why we expect an intense and exciting match in which small details could ultimately make the difference.

I still can't process how Spain, with so many Barca shirts, have been playing the antithesis of Barca so far, entire tournament. Compact to a fault, and allowing so few quality shots -- and for me, they've had the toughest string of opponents of the semifinalists, so they will probably even amp up the constriction of the field, and I'm not sure France will find much joy in that.

Then again, could just be me fantasising, as reports I'm reading suggest they're actually playing openly, am I choosing to see what I want to see?

P.S. Finally a week where the matches actually have a bearing for me, even if it is lowly BSFL.

P.P.S. Yes, am envious of you guys still in RtG and BtB.

Back after a sad and disastrous weekend on all fronts, somehow we have to forget the past and the what could have been to put all of our focus right back on the league. It's not really the best timing for a comeback as facing the Mafia always keeps you on high alert, they're always strong and a bit shady so we need to be at our best and careful of any funny business.
Shifting our focus away from the World Cup straight into Dota, F1 and who knows what else isn't what we were hoping for. I guess Trofo will hold the advantage here since my team is morally down, lacking motivation and not quite ready for non football questions. But at the last minute, literally as I am writing this, the club management has decided to give the players an extra day of rest today, hopefully that allows them to pull themselves together for tomorrow, because we want to beat the Mafia and climb closer to the top of the league.

Just thinking out loud here but I think I speak for the entire South American squad when I say we enjoyed the Road to Glory event, we didn't want it to end, the contest positively surprised me, it was a ton of fun on so many levels, especially the unique format and the team bonding throughout the tournament.

My suggestion for Trofo and cryptofrka would be to look into running a seasonal "BSFL Team Edition" alongside the regular individual league, replicating the exact format of the Road to Glory, I’m sure a lot of users would jump in, I think many here share the same sentiment about just how much fun RTG was / is.

Don't worry we have plans for it. Don't know if you guys remember but BSFL was tried out during WC and then grew into this. LMS was tried out during Euro and then became part of BSFL. We don't discard projects with potential, we test it during major competition then try to adapt it to seasonal thing. We shall see how quickly it will be possible to do it and if we will be able to find interested partners but I would bet on interesting club season in front of us.

Wow just 5 rounds to go, well soon to be 4 time flying by fast I remember the World Cup had just started and now it's almost over crazy huh? But anyway I submitted my answers and ready for this upcoming round can't take anything easy and stay on 10 toes, can't take any of my remaining opponents easy cause I know they won't be taking it easy on me unless they want help a brother out to get that promo....but lets make this round interesting paco92x Grin

I still haven't looked up the questions for the current round.......but it looks like we will have DOTA Cheesy

OK already a -1 handicap for me - I can neutralise it with my immense F1 knowledge if it's featured!
I will take my time since I first have to solve an aircon problem!

Yeah, WC took the spotlight from BSFL a bit but now with less games there it is retuning with full shine. Also didn't help that WC schedule was very though to incorporate into BSFL deadlines.

Time to have a good round, everyone is scoring like super high against me, come on guys, concentrate on league leaders.

My team now have everything and reputation to play for in this final 5 games, it’s been an horrendous season at its peak, but we have to turn things around starting from this very round against a tough opponent, every week with as many points is going to be fatal for the team.

I was thinking of the same thing here, they have a solid game plan against all opponents and as much as it might keep some people sleepy, that is simply how Spain plays. But I think none of these two have met a team yet top of their game, both have not lost in the World Cup so one of them wants to change that

A careful game from both and Extra Time. Early mistake from anyone and we can easily see 4-3 Tongue
