Guys, what do you think about Mourinho in Roma?

I don't like Mou anywhere

He is always trying to play same defensive tactics and pulling some shenanigans in locker room to "galvanize" the team on the expense of one or two players. He is not building the team for the future, he is only good to squeeze the maximum out of his players in season or two.

Granted he had some excellent results in the past, but I would not like to see him in any top club. If he was happy with fraction of what he makes now I am thinking he would do wonders with clubs like Burnley in PL, Verona in Seria A and Getafe in Spain.... You get my meaning, smaller club where players would give 120% for him and wouldn't mind playing total defense.

Guys, what do you think about Mourinho in Roma? For me this move is very unexpected and it will be another reason to watch Serie A next season.
I think that he have even less chance to win something with Roma than in Spurs. Expectations is big, but c'mon, Roma is miles away from Inter, Juventus. Milan, Atalanta or Napoli is also way better than them. And it's possible that they won't even qualify to UEFA competition next season. Even if they will, it will be just third tier competition called UEFA Conference League. Winning this trophy wouldn't very prestigious and big thing.
Also, it's interesting that Mkhitaryan had conflicts with Mou back in MU times. Wouldn't be surprised if he will leave Roma summer.
Mourinho got 3 year contract, but I would give him max 1.5 year until he will be sacked.

We almost had btts in all of today's matches, but Roma's inability to score ruined it. Well, they did have three goals ruled out for offside, as well as a penalty missed by Dzeko, so it's not like they didn't have chances. I kinda dig the result though, i want to see Sassuolo in Europa League next season, with that loss it's just 2 points. Too bad they couldn't take advantage of a man up early on against Atalanta.

Why was Ranaldo to score today with such low odds, 1.50ish? Roll Eyes

Shouldn't it be at least 1.70 or more, idk...

I would also like to join Euro cup pool, not so sure about Copa america, it is short competition, and I do not watch south american football that much

back to topic, Cagliari is on fire, point from Naples to go out from relegation zone, hopefully, Serie A will be played on Sardinia next season as well
otherwise, I would have to join Serie B pool next season Sad

Damn LTU, in my old age my memory has really really played tricks on my mind. I just looked at the Copa pool and I saw my name there, but could have sworn I don't remember much about it at all until reading through the thread. And yes of course it was World Cup, not anything else, since we only started the pool things in 2018. Those were the days, so long ago haha:) Pretty cool it lasted so long, let's see if Serie A and La Liga pools can continue to grow in popularity too!

I'm in for both the Euro and Copa America pools. I'd appreciate it if someone could please share the link to the signup thread (when it's ready) here because i tend to miss some topics that are not on my watchlist.

So, not to get completely off-topic here,....man fuck these Verona bums, i just skimmed through the highlights from the match real quick, so many good chances wasted, they hit the post twice, got a shady VAR decision against them to disallow a goal that was in the buildup like a minute prior to the goal, only to get a late equalizer out of nowhere and ruin my close result and give bigdaddy and Trofo 3. I hate those late goals like you can't even imagine, rant over! Cheesy

I am thinking EURO should not be a problem but Copa America could be less interesting. My rule of thumb is that 10 players minimum are needed to have a fun pool.

Yeah, getting participants for EURO pool shouldn't be difficult. But we already had Copa America pool in 2019 and there was 10 players:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/copa-america-2019-discussion-thread-prediction-pool-registration-closed-5146493. I think we can get at least 10-15 players this time. Main issue that EURO and Copa America will be played on same time, so probably Copa will get less interest because of this. But I like that this summer we will have football all day all night Cheesy

We did have a euro pool as I recall or was that World Cup now? Either way definitely joining if there is enough interest!

Can't remember about EURO 2016, probably prediction pools on Bitcointalk 5 years ago wasn't thing yet. But we really had pool for World Cup in 2018, it was fun thing.

It's actually still called Euro 2020. I made the mistake myself but looked it up and it was after all decided to retain the original name so as not to cause confusion ha.

I always bet on Copa, and even Afcon... Good value bets always to be found on smaller countries but who recently have very competitive squads thanks to rich vlub experience in the Europe Big Fours...

I'm definitely going to join prediction pool next season. Also, I hope that you or hilarious will make pool for EURO 2020. I just realised that we have Copa America this year also - maybe it can be interesting too.

I have just sent a pm to hilarious to check if he is interested. Both competitions are starting in a little more than a month and I would like to have threads up as soon as possible to judge the interest. I am thinking EURO should not be a problem but Copa America could be less interesting. My rule of thumb is that 10 players minimum are needed to have a fun pool.

Are we calling this EURO 20 or EURO 21 Huh

I will be running this pool next season for sure as long as we have at least that 10 players. I'll start it immediately in this thread after sending the prizes for this year.

Thanks for Milan analysis, folks. As I already said, my knowledge about Serie A isn't deep enough, but I also got impression that Miland squad depth and quality isn't good enough to compete with Inter, Juventus and even Atlanta or Napoli. Injuries didn't helped them too.
@Trofo, wow, it's nice numbers. I didn't knew that there is extra prize for yellow cap winner, but unfortunately it's mission impossible to reach tyKiwanuka - 24 points per round is something extraordinary. I'm already waiting for next season and despite that Serie A isn't my league, I'm definitely going to join prediction pool next season. Also, I hope that you or hilarious will make pool for EURO 2020. I just realised that we have Copa America this year also - maybe it can be interesting too.

Since we are coming close to the end of our pool. I checked our yellow cap winners. The man to beat at the moment is tyKiwanuka with monster 24 points. He also had a couple more big points yellow hats so I am not sure how he is not ranked a lot better in our pool. I guess it is all or nothing for our yellow cap champ.

And to remind you all about our prizes:
First place: 0,018 BTC - 950$
Second place: 0,01 - 0.011 BTC * - 550$
Third place: 0.005 BTC - 260$
Highest round score among all the rounds: 0.0035BTC - 180$

Not bad for a buy in of about 25$ isn't it? The beauty of bull run, may it last for a long long time Cool

I must admit that I don't follow Serie A as much as La Liga or EPL, so, I want to ask one question. What happened to Milan in second part of season? In first part of season they looked like Scudetto contenders and now it's likely that they can end without spot in Champions league next season. They loose toalmost every direct competitor recently.

I don't know, whether this is a related issue about Ibra or not because even before when Ibra was out of action due to injury but the truth is Milan can still be consistent in getting points to win and / or draw. But after Ibra's case went up, Milan seemed unable to be consistent anymore and everything seemed chaotic in the team or just happened by chance because it seemed like Milan still needed longer time to finally rise like Inter or at least fill the UCL position.

Reality check!

I am not following Serie A that close but when I look at the squads Milan has mediocre squad when compered to top clubs in Italy. Juve, Inter, Atalanta and Napoli have better teams. Lazio and Roma are on the level of Milan so I would expect Milan to finish around 6th place.

What happened to Milan in second part of season?

It's difficult to pinpoint a single reason for their recent mediocre results, things are, imo, very complex.

The campaign began well for them as you noted, with just one loss in their first 25-30 matches iirc, possibly the best performing team in all of Europe, and it just wasn't possible to keep up until the end, it was unsustainable as simple as that.

The tight schedule (including their Europa League rendezvous) and multiple injuries in defense primarily resulted in rather unwanted draws against weaker opponents. And, although they have a reasonable amount of players to choose upfront, Pioli is forced to play with Kalulu and Tomori (neither of them has a place in this team) if Kjaer and Romagnoli are not available. I'll use Liverpool as an example: when your key guys (centre-backs) are absent, things get really difficult.

Milan will almost certainly not qualify for the Champions League, Atalanta and Napoli have relatively easy remaining fixtures, and the final spot will probably go to Juventus, who have a direct match with Milan next week.

Juve if I must pick one of them.

Quote from: morvillz7z on April 24, 2021, 05:31:45 PM

Verona's defense has been abysmal these last few fixtures, and with Inter coming off two straight draws, it might be a long Sunday afternoon in Milan. Also, Verona has zero wins at San Siro against Inter (historically speaking)...if i were you, i'd mark that match off my list of possible upsets for tomorrow.

As for Juventus, unlikely, can't see it happening, but i'm hoping for goals, Fiorentina's last three home matches have produced 5 or more goals, so i'm tempted to go for O3.5...we'll see. Cool

Right then, I've made up my mind, thanks boys. Inter 2 straight draws I agree, they'll want to change things up and get off the marks quick, so a HT win is what I'll do with them.

Juventus on the other hand just look so lost I think Fiorentina will fancy their chances. Odds weren't TOO bad either, so I finally took it at 6.6. I'm definitely staying off BTTS today, even though so tempting haha. All the leagues are finding it hard to score now!

BTTS is coming in the other 2 games 100%. Or maybe I should say it would have come for sure if I did not put them on my ticket. This way I am a bit skeptical

Weird seeing Sassuolo keep a clean sheet, Samp hit the post once and were not given a penalty in the second half, this one should have also been btts.

Eh damn another BTTS parlay failed. Two in a week now, signs must be telling me I jumped on the btts ship too late. Funny how I can pick the games so well hmm!

Other games today uninteresting for me so I'll just stay put on my losses like a good kid and just watch highlights tomorrow morning.

Since we Liverpool also have something against Atalanta (making it up as I go) sure why not? Might even form a sister hate club for Napoli. Lazio I can be my one member club it's ok. My fault for backing them often and ignoring yhe fact that they are not of the same vintage as last season.

Also, need something else other than my club's owners to pour scorn on.

Walkon, btts, walk on.
