of all players on the pool, it was you who had to guess the correct result? Why?
Congrats mate on 2nd place, you provide top performance after COVID pause. it bothers me even more that I changed at the last minute from 0:3 to 0:4.

Sorry man, I locked my pick to see what you picked (did it for the 1st time yesterday) and saw that we both had 0-3. I was a point ahead so I thought - well, that's good for me, he can't pass me here. I wake up, check Superbru and something's off - I'm more points ahead. I check the results and see that you changed your pick Grin

Don't give up just yet - you can still claim 2nd if you guess the correct result and I miss the winner.

Those aren't the payouts. If you check it says that's how much was given last year, but that was for the PL and was just given as an example. I don't think I actually stated the ones for this year but I'll probably pay out the top as follows:

1st 0.03
2nd 0.02
3rd 0.015
4th 0.01
5th 0.005

That's why I couldn't find it then I guess. Not bitching or anything but it would be way better and more transparent in future pools if the rewards were defined at the beginning - as we have for the PL one.

Well, it's a perfect final I guess. I know Lyon and Leipzig both deserve their place too but this was always going to be a matter of quality in the end. Bayern the huge favorite I'm sure!

I don't remember how much we paid for this pool, before but pretty sure price was low at the time right? Nice wins for the top 5 guys, even 5th place is double the fee IIRC:)

I've signed up for La Liga and I'm taking my chances here again with Barca next season. Maybe we do a turnaround like Bayern did after losing to Liverpool in humiliating fashion?

I'm a point ahead of examplens in 2nd and have secured top 3. 2 games left and the final will decide between us, no way he isn't picking City today. Hopefully he doesn't get the correct result so I have some advantage Grin

I know I asked like 5 times already, but I never received an answer. Where can I see the rewards for this pool?

I am satisfied with this 3rd place reward, even if I have a feeling that cryptofrka take 0.005 from my pocket Tongue

Trofo convinced me to change my picks to 4-1 (was originally 3-1) and now that Gnabry's got them the lead, I have a good feeling they'll hit four. Because Lyon will also be keen to get some goals in, so this should be an open game. My cable's not good right now so I'm not getting a good feed =/ Why I'm posting here and watching livescores heh.

My feeling is Bayern is going to win this match by 3 - 1 but right now as Bayern is doing its look like we are going to have some more goals then we are expecting because Bayern mean business nothing else Gnabry already on board and we still have muller perisic and lewandowski all love to have name on socre board as well.

Went with the draw last night. Didn't have anything to lose as I can't win anything anyway. I thought it would be a lot closer though, especially after Leipzig impressed against Madrid and I thought PSG were poor against Atlanta and lucky to go through at all. Looks like it's going to be a bayern/PSG final. Bayern should win that I think, though it will likely be close.

Quote from: cryptofrka on August 19, 2020, 06:25:32 AM

Thanks a lot, man. Huge difference between 2nd and 3rd, but high rewards overall. If I finish 2nd, it basically pays 2 pools (both the CL and the PL one) for the next 5 years.

I have to say I was a bit lucky because I had a good position before the corona break so it suited me to have less games.

will Bayern win tonight with a massive handicap?
I think it will yes

My pick is Lyon 0 : 5 Bayern

I would like to see Perišić as a goal scorer tonight!

I got over 3.5 goals at 1.91 and Bayern to win both halves at 2.25.

I wonder how much Bayern's line was to win the CL before the knock out stages. Prolly more than 8.

Edit: Perisic anytime goal scorer is at 2.33. Hmmmm.. Gambol?

What you mean finally caught up? I was third before the restart but started with predicting some upsets in those first games and dropped a few places. Now I am climbing up to my "real" positions

May the luckiest bastard win.

LOLS I was hoping you'd react;) I have been in top 5 for a long time as I recall too, and somehow managed to stay in place but shifting farther and farther to 6th. I'm happy even at 5th as it'll be a hell lot better than my EPL pool performance!

May the bastardiest bastardo persevere!

I could have sworn I picked PSG so was quite happy following the match (don't fancy either team but I'd rather a new French winner than a commercial team go through), only to find I'd actually picked Leipzig haha. Trofo's finally caught up to me. Two games left so 1st-3rd are unassailable.

Best bastard win Trofo;)

^ But that was a weird year really... The top 4 were underperforming, missing important goals and such. And Leicester were running really good and dare I say.. got lucky more times than they should.

Sorry about City and Guardiola, but the gods were for Lyon tonight.

I wasn't expecting a France vs Germany final games. Finally this little European Cup with 8 clubs, it's not so bad

Its a big lesson for Manchester City and clubs like this they cannot buy cups with checks and big investments really feeling shame for them more then $1 billion investment and going without any big cup and Lyon with just $350 Millions investment out class them very badly we need some good talent with money as well.

They already bought their cups years ago with the PL, though money will always be trumped by teams that just play better football (see when Leicester won the PL). You can't expect teams to win everything though no matter how much you spend, especially when you're up against Europe's best teams who often have the same sort of money spent as they do. Even great squads can have bad games or poor form as well and City and Barca are perfect examples of this. Man United just lost in the Europa to Sevilla as well. I thought we might see both Manchester teams in the finals this year.

I thought the lesson was taught already but then when you have Chelsea who showed everyone money CAN buy championships and cups,,, of course other clubs want to follow right? And if PSG win it this year then it shows that money can finally buy it. I mean, if you have the best talents in the world and they play every day in the same league for a few seasons eventually they can win it.

But the real lesson is sustainability. Look at Leeds. Look at Monaco.
