the 21st matchday in the bundesliga starts today with dortmund vs. freiburg
in my opinion, any result is possible in this game and so that nobody forgets their picks, here is a reminder to the following users to enter their picks in time within the next 10 hours:

btw i'll be at the weserstadion tomorrow for the werder vs. heidenheim game - maybe i should take a tennis ball with me

Late to the party for German football, it impresses me a lot, and yes on one hand you've got such a strong sentiment against commercialism, on the other, you've got Bayern finding its way around all that to maintain financial superiority.

In a sense, I'm glad I won't be around to see the total collapse of football as we know it -- though I might even be underestimating how quickly money will take over all other sensibilities.

My picks in. Leverkusen all the way!

[Betwrong]

due to the upcoming top match between leverkusen and bayern, i was able to arrange another promotion with Steve from sportsbet.io
all participants of this bl-pool will get a 0.25mBTC free bet credited to their accounts on thursday
this will only be valid for 3 days - i will send a separate message to all participants via the kicktipp portal

Thank you, @cygan and Steve!

The free bet was credited to my account, and if I was a little bit less greedy I'd even won some money from that



I'm happy to say that I have climbed even further up lately:



and I'm very excited to see what happens next.

[cygan]

this weekend we can congratulate mv1986 for the matchday win.
with a strong 16 points (from only 8 games) he was able to secure a free bet on sportsbet.io this time and also climb 5 places at the same time
Little Mouse, with his 15 points, has now caught up to casperBGD and is putting a bit more pressure on him again

the relegation-threatened club mainz 05 sacked its coach Jan Siewert today. JS, who was promoted to head coach shortly before Christmas, has to go after just twelve games (1-6-5)
according to the club, a successor will be announced tomorrow

in less than 6 hours the 22nd matchday in the bundesliga starts with the match between köln and werder bremen

Get it all in, guys. Kane will be relied upon more than ever now to ensure Bayern doesn't bow out with a whimper but I would not like to be in their shoes... still hoping Alonso and co can hold their nerve. Time to ditch Neverkusen, no?

The club I'd backed to sack first has now cycled through two guys in two months. Figures.

They're actually the favourites next up, suppose they hope to benefit from new coach bounce, but I'm rolling the dice once more against them. Have to make up all that lost ground -- gap to #1 seems to be a persistent 30 points!

man, for years trolls are having Spurs on their radar, and it was Kane all the time
he just can't win a trophy and that is it
how it is possible to check-in in Bayern, after 10 consecutive titles, and have them losing the title, and also being kicked by Lazio in CL (if that really happen), his luck is really questionable, if I were Southgate, I would skip him for Euro this season, and England would improve their chances for the title

back to topic, Koeln and Bremen are playing goalless and hopeless football tonight

He doesn't need to be ditched completely, should be enough to send him home when they get to quarter finals 

He will also ruin a perfect trophy winning streak for Coman. He never went a season without one.

Oh nooooo! I forgot to submit my picks and now I'm 5 positions down!



Well, what did I expect missing such important posts? I quit promising myself to be paying more attention. If I'm lucky I won't miss any further predictions and will be in the top 5 in the end, but, honestly, I think it will hardly happen.

[buwaytress]

One of those odd stats I'd never been aware of if not for this forum  =) I always wonder a bit more about players playing most of their peak in one club, I think a lot about Reus in BVB, lived through the Klopp era, and I always thought would move on but now capturing some flickers left in his age. Nothing similar to Coman of course, who's been Bayern since his teens. But what a way to ruin a streak =)

Anyway, cygan is winning this round. Massive 19 points. Don't know why I chose to go against Mainz. Miserable 6 points to show for that error in judgment! Betwrong, you realise you didn't put in picks?

indeed, things are looking very good for me at the moment, but there are still two games to play today, where any result is possible in both of them imo
mv1986 and shogun47 are close behind me with 16 points

[cygan]

matchday 22 ended with another surprising? defeat for bayern (1-3 vs. bochum)
i was able to win the matchday in question with a strong 22 points and secure a free bet on sportsbet.io
so i made a jump of 8 places upwards and by submitting only two picks and the resulting 0 points Betwrong slipped down 8 places

[casperBGD]

congrats cygan, 22 points is great score for this round

can't say that I am happy with 11 that I scored, but it was enough to keep me on top for the round
Bayern is as far from the title as one can be, and holds nothing in their hands, all eyes are now on Leverkusen, only their mistakes can give Bavarians any chance to get title

onwards

Guessing 7 results out of 9 is very cool, congratulations!
It is noteworthy that no one dared to bet on Bayern losing points - everyone was confident not only that Bayern would not lose, but that they would win.
I think in the next round many will choose a draw in the Bayern - Leipzig game since the club is collapsing and, according to leaks, Tuchel has already been fired. Perhaps the players (again, according to leaks, he quarreled with almost everyone) will help him leave even before the management finds a suitable replacement.

[mv1986]

casperBGD is still rocking it here and I just said that in the German pool we have two people who scored a 23 on a match day and then cygan who had a 22. casperBGD set a 25 and a 24 as the records, which is pretty crazy.

I was just trying to figure out how he was able to gain that lead against me and I saw that when he scored the 24, I scored a 7! My lord I have been so far off with my predictions. Almost a shame as a German native who's following the Bundesliga closely

But it demonstrates well how much can change on a single match day. Still some time left to climb up the ladder here, but it won't be easy.

Congrats @cygan, 22 points and going up by 8 places is huge thing!

Despite how bad Bayern is looking, it was difficult to go against them when you see their recent results with Bochum like 7:0. Leipzig is already different level. Problem that they're not doing very well too.

[cygan]

thanks guys for your congratulations - unfortunately i lost my free bet yesterday (because dortmund didn't lose against eindhoven)...

in addition, i have this nice cartoon for you, which shows the power of leverkusen and XA in the bundesliga. what i like here is the new logo of bayer leverkusen (with the two wingers Grimaldo & Frimpong) which reminds of the one of Bentley and the two envelopes on the training table in which the new contracts from bayern and liverpool are hidden inside

German Bild publishes a leak according to which 6 Bayern players want Tuchel to be fired, these are: Kimmich (absolutely not surprising), Muller, Goretzka, Ligt, Tel and Gnabry. If we combine this information with the previous leak, then in my opinion the likelihood that Bayern will lose points again is too high. The nuance is that there are players in the team who support Tuchel, but when there is such a split in the team, things can hardly go well. And if a group of those who want to lose the coach take some action on purpose (play poorly), then there is no chance at all.

today is the day again and the 23rd matchday in the bundesliga starts with leverkusen vs. mainz 05
