Good game play by Colombia missing some incredible goals in the last part of the game.
Really surprised nobody from the top went for Colombia. They were playing some great football all tournament and Uruguay was without half of the defense as far as I know.

Now you know how I feel when I organise pools and watch helplessly people from other continents walking away with money  Grin

Fuck i play my last play on the argentinian match, i know i need a very diferent result for me to try to climb some positions in the leaderboard, but Argentina still fight with the goal, and still miss a lot of goals so no chance for me at all now.

Today we have the big match of semifinals, Colombia Uruguay good luck to everyone who is still fighting for prizes.

I agree with you, but i want to add some minor things.

The main problem of Colombia can be the lack of seriousness when they play.
Uruguay know better how to play this kind of games and how to make the game dirt and hard to play, with a ton of faults.

About Argentina, yes clearly we are the main contender but we need to wake up ASAP, because we are ina  very low level right now. Some players are not in good shape.

I also agree that Uruguay are better in decisive matches, and if they score a goal, it's quite difficult to play for a draw
Argentina and Uruguay play this type of game a lot

Colombia need to prove that they can do well in decisive matches and this is a great opportunity.

Yesterday I predicted Argentina 2x0 Canada.
But I don't think I can make the top 3 anymore  Cheesy

^ My wise experience with the pools of BTT is this : if you have only theoretical chances to win, then you have a practical chance to lose.

Uruguay for the win, and then to dispatch Argentina in the final. This is the only way I walk away this season with profit.

OT but... Netherlands too but I have a good friend with far more money on England haha.

How are the snakes so high up this table?
They bribed many national teams in Copa America, because they have big influence in that continent Tongue
Better dont ask many questions or they can eliminate you from some future pools with their tricks.

About the snakes..... i dont know they caught us with a low guard.
Bingo!
We need to take power back to the people.

Give us the finalised prize structure on OP my man. So I can see how much money I didn't win.
I think you still have theoretical chance for third place   Grin

About the prize it was so big that i have to keep the secret until the end Tongue
Damn, just realized I am in the money in COPA pool. Never expected that I will do good here. Now that I have realized it, I will probably promptly drop down the ladder.

Still have outright bet on Argentina so....
Go Argentina!!!!

I actually gave you a fighting chance. I had a good lead not so long ago, now I'm in a tricky position.

How many prizes do you award? Is there a reward distribution anywhere?
Would be good to know so I can decide how much risk I want to take with my next round of picks.



We have in total 7mbtc from fees + 1mbtc gifted by buwaytress, that give us 8 mbtc of prize im gonna add 1mbtc to the pot so we can reach 9 mbtc.

I was thinking on this split:

1º = 5mbtc
2º = 3mbtc
3º = 1mbtc


Hi man, after a few votes here in the thread, the rewarded positions are this. Not big money at all but good money and some recognition at least.   Grin

I think it was without the last adition of Slaman so we have a extra 0.5mbtc and i put it to the third spot.

1º = 5mbtc
2º = 3mbtc
3º = 1.5mbtc





I suppose it was the same discussion with sudden death (which I personally liked) and even replays like in the FA Cup.

And again, I'm probably okay with all decisions, but if the underlying issue is so that players can play more games, which I suspect is the reason we're seeing all these changes, then we end up with the dystopia that Bielsa foresees. Where football is about highlights and clips, and montages and "the best of".

I'm old-fashioned like him, football isn't just about the winning goals and the highlights. It's the entire game, the entire match. But one single game a week will always look better than 2 or 3 games a week.

Copa already has players barely a week from their regular leagues. We're just going to get more saturated action that nobody watches, so they can tune in to the highlights.

I agree with you and im also a not fan of today football, so much rules added and in the games itself less boldness from the players to make plays, all his super coordinated and every ball is played like the books, and that is making the game more boring i think.

Is always a endless discussion about that, when you have Extra Time you see some teams dont play it in the way we expect, and nobody seeks the win, so you start thinking about cut it out, but when you dont have it you start to think...." oh come on why no extra time, this only rewards to the defensive teams" so this is gonna be perpetuated in a endless circle i think.

Can't believe Venezuela just dropped out, to Canada of all sides. Rondon's equaliser must have made them breathe easy but penalties, well, there you go. First appearance for them at this stage I believe?
I feel sad for Venezuela but penalties are one big lottery and Canada was more lucky this time.
Against Argentina in semi final I dont give them any chance, and they should be happy going so far in Copa America.

Guys dont let those evil Snake and dirty Mafia win in Copa America pool, I see they are in 3rd and 4th place now, that is dangerous for everyone   Angry

Yeah, the lottery sucks as it is, it's actually to me personally even worse without extra time. And yet in EURO people are discussing the option all the time.

Yes. Extra Time gets players more tired, but it's there to provide more drama, more excitement if teams fail the first 90. You can even see the effect, without ET, you even see teams with different dynamics at 70th minute onwards.

Bielsa was talking about how football's spirit is dwindling and he's right. He's so proud of the Uruguay team now, and it's just natural I like it, it's hard to dislike! We protect players not by shortening the entire match, but by playing fewer meaningless matches.

How are the snakes so high up this table?

Not really sure which format is better. Often that extra time is extremely boring as both is being cautious and just play all these 30 minutes waiting for penalties.
Brazil is huge disappointment, already in group stage it looked that not everything is ok with their team. But such things happens quite often - they have many big names but fail massively.
I expected downfall of Uruguay after Suarez generation will retire, but seems that their future is bright - they have enough high level players who already in their prime now.

Today it seems to me that the ranking of the South American teams is like this:
1 - Argentina
2 -Colombia
3 -Uruguay
4 -Brazil

The Colombia vs Uruguay game promises to be a great match for us to watch, so if you have the chance, watch it
Colombia with the good level they've been showing for several months and Uruguay with great willpower and excited about having beaten Brazil

Argentina vs Canada I don't think there will be any surprises

Wow, I got 3 of the 4 quarter-final results wrong, I only got Colombia's win right  Tongue

All surprising results for me, and yesterday Brazil's game was terrible
In addition to being an ugly game to watch, there was still a lot of disappointment from Brazil, and what really stood out for the Brazilians is the lack of humility of the players

I think it's very difficult for me to recover with four games to go, but I'll try anyway  Cheesy


Nothing left to do but try. I risked all and got 3 points from perfect score but zero points from Colombio oww. It was the only way to catch up honestly so now we're all rolling the dice to catch the leaders.

Still can't believe I picked Brazil and threw away $50 and got only 1 freebet from the promo. What a lousy deal but I deserve it.

And in my opinion, just like in the Euro, there should be extra time instead of going straight to penalties

I know Brazil was out against Uruguay for that i choose Uruguay to win, but well the game ended with a draw.

This Brasil is unnaceptable and an insult to his rich history, aside of that to everyone who dont follow so much Copa America Uruguay is a beast on copa America, and they know how to beat Argentina and Brasil by playing his dirty games.

About the pool is gonna be very complicated to climb, because Argentina is the favorite in one of the brackets, and with that for us only remains the other semifinals and the final to have more room to choose results.

Damn, nothing went my way since the knockouts and that goal Argentina conceded in stoppage time.

Not many points left, Argentina looks like a sure finalist and it will be really close between Colombia and Uruguay.
Finally a game on Copa that smells like goals, I might actually stay awake for this one.

What a disastrous Brazil with all these big names they have yet they didn't manage to win in regular time against a great Uruguay I must admit,still not with the names that Brazil has.Of course it looks like Argentina is going to win the 4th consecutive trophy if they manage to win this and I don't see any team being capable of stopping them,they surely are not Brazil and their semifinal is a joke against Canada,it is the one game that should produce goals different from the first game of the group stage which ended 2-0 for Argentina.For Uruguay I think Colombia can eliminate them as Colombia has shown to be the strongest attacking team in this tournament and they I believe have scored the biggest number of goals so far,a statistic that is clear indication for me that they should be the second finalist.
