^metaverse football? I'd rather metaverse football where we're actually also playing, kinda. Heh. Maybe in 40 years when I can't move my ass around so much (though I still hope to be physically active then).

solid off-topic, but it depends on age, would agree that under 20 years old see it different (metaverse vs real world sport)
being above 40 (myself), I think that real sport is better, but my opinion would not matter in 10-15 years

and if you watch it on TV, does it make a difference are these people avatars or real people? VAR is just one step closer to programmable sport, IMO

I don't disagree the tech would be as realistic in 10? 20? years? But I doubt anyone capable of the skill and athletics in real life would strap on a headset and do it on a treadmill. Would the grass turf feel the same after 20 people tackled on it? Would you hear the whisper of a guy or read his face expression when taking a penalty? Would you smell the sweat on the guy you're marking? All these things make people react differently. Where's the captain when you need him? The linesman to shout at? The ballboy to beckon to? =)

So okay, if Gavi and Bellingham and Jota say, forget football I'm playing VR, MAYBE I'd watch but unless entire teams decide to shirk the grass for astroturf (which sucks as a substitute btw)...

Anyway, go Valencia =p

Back to topic. Someone beat that - from Sunday games I got just 1.5 point from all 3 pools Cheesy

. My performance this season probably should be called "One step forward and two steps back"...

yeah, lousy week for me as well, red color with a bit of green, without any correct score
and it is one with 14 matches, so there is still chances to get better

tonight is Valencia derby, but I highly doubt that this could be a good one for me, since favorite teams are usually a booger

Well since we had just few games in EPL that would be an ok score there, and we had a lot of surprises in La Liga and Serie A. I have done somewhat better than you but still very poor, 4 points was my max across the pools this weekend. A bit embarrassing for us but still long way to go and change it to the better. Just need to start getting those correct scores right.

New free bet challenge will be up later today since we have games during the week.

Back in 2020 when all leagues were stopped, I tried to watch these virtual things like football or F1. Personally, I wasn't very excited about it. I prefer to play myself than watch how others playing.
I doubt that real sports will be ever replaced by esports. These things will exist separately, but esports probably will get bigger recognition, like including to Olympics. And eventually it may become bigger thing than real sport.

We're almost at halfway point, I'm still chasing the top, and I just had a look: more than half of La Liga is negative goal difference. That's not as bad as EPL where only 6 teams, all the top 6, have positive GD, and only the top 3 have more than +7 GD.

I wonder what this says about either league huh?

on the metaverse side, I think that we will all watch virtual football on daily basis in 10-15 years, and these will have daily rounds

Not sure about the metaverse stuff, but by now I would expect EA sports FIFA tournaments to have caught fire by now, but we are still far from it. Even the lockdown due to COVID-19 where all popular leagues paused did not do much to popularize the EA sport tournaments that were readily available for the bored fans.
My thinking is that people seem to prefer real life sports events.

Sevilla won game 2:1 after late goal of Ocampos. Sevilla weren't better on the pitch, they played quite poor 2nd half, but it's already typical for them to win such kind of games.

agree, expected bit more from them, and Atletico had great chance for equalizer in overtime, but Sevilla won in the end, and brought me money

not sure what happened with Ocampos, but yeah, there is a lot of strange things in football these days, and 60+ matches per season does not help at all

Barcelona Fans will be happy this weekend with their win, Atletico Madrid has dropped points in this Sevilla game and although Sevilla has been good this season, there's a big concern for me with the Atletico team whose performance is becoming poorer with plenty defensive challenges, something unlike the team we used to know. Suarez who is a prolific striker is in a really bad shape and form currently, i hope he bounces back soon.

Ooh dear, I was counting on the 1-1 draw as my correct score and then Lucas Ocampos decided to ruin the perfect score in the 88th minute 🤦‍♂️
This season is proving to be a huge challenge for the Champions in their title defense. Atlético are already 8 points, a drift from Seville.

Barca leading 3:2, sounds like it was good game.

it depends. If you're a neutral, it was entertaining. If you're Barca fan tho, i'd be very worried cos the team still doesn't show any signs of improvements under Xavi, Ter Stegen with yet another abysmal performance, entire defence is 2nd division tier with or without Pique,, literally every game for Barca is a high-risk 50/50 match...heh, it was funny seeing barca players wasting time...against almighty Elche lol

Sevilla and Atletico is a bit of borefest....and 50 minutes in but still no yellow cards, very very weird to see sch a "clean" game between both sides, it's usually a yellow cards galore Grin

I think it wasn't bad game. But getting early 2:0 lead probably made players to relax a bit. You simply can't waste 2:0 lead in 2 minutes. But at least team showed thatthey have balls and managed to win game. I agree that every game for Barca this season is 50/50, even against teams like Elche. But probably you can't ask for too much when you look at age of most of our players and considering how many injured players we have.

BTW, what happened to Ocampos? He didn't got injury, but was carried out of pitch on stretcher. Such things happens in football way too often recently...

Sevilla? Tough, I went for Atletico win, which is probably unwise, but I need to take a bit of risk to make ground up on you Wink

I am thinking 1:1 draw tonight is the most probable result and both clubs would be probably quite happy with the draw.

Barca leading 3:2, sounds like it was good game. Defiantly time for Coutihno to move on. I mean get a hint and get lost. Barca has following players injured: Braithwhite, Depay, Fati and Pedri on the position he is playing and still he is on the bench. In the first team Gavi, Dembele, Ezzalzouli and Jutgla. Ok first 2 are good but when second two play before you....time to move on. If that was not enough Barca needed to score when it was 2:2 and Coutinho stays on the bench while Nico and Puig get in to change to score the winning goal Grin

I've been really lucky for the first 2 games actually on this Match Day, exact scores for them, and then of course Villareal make me pay for not trusting in them to win away... hahay and rdbase the only one to score 1.5 points on this but I bet hahay is so unhappy for the 96th min goal, literally the last action of the game before whistle!

except for Premier league, I don't see much postponed matches in other leagues, especially today
regarding Premier, it is a great chance for Arsenal to have global audience today against Leeds, since there is no other option

what is a take on Sevilla tonight, will put them in for @2.7, there is not much to play for, both teams will end-up in CL spots, and without title, so this could be motivation for home team to dominate

Oh right you are, I didn't think of that, nothing else showing so everything on for that! Amazon Prime was meant to show Boxing day extravaganza so I was really looking forward to that (for the English commentary).

News is that Liverpool-Spurs is fully geared to go on tomorrow so my fingers crossed for that.

i can't deal with my tickets getting voided cos of postponements Lips sealed

i should probably skip la liga and premier league games for the time being. I'll have plenty of ligue 1 and serie A games to choose from...not ideal but it is what it is

I'm looking also at Bundesliga now as the only one I might attack, and Serie A, but the way France and UK are going I'm not sure any of these other leagues would be good enough to trust on for longer than a week. I'm finishing up the last of my long-leg accas which I usually spread out over a week now, and just stick to the games on the day itself until this all clears. Hope there's not going to be another postponement of entire leagues...

I don't think Aguero was ever underrated. Remember him in Atl.Madrid era ? Every team feared that guy when they played against him so don't get me wrong but Aguero was always a top striker in the world no matter what. Yea , last years of his career had a lot of downsides and then a little upside but he kept it professional and whenever he had the chance to play , he gave it all.

Personally, I will never forget Aguero in his KIA shirt from ATL.Madrid , scoring and beating almost every opponent in 2012-2014 era. The guy was a scoring machine.

Oh for sure all those years ago before going to England he was top and rated, kinda of why City bought him and damn did he deliver for them. I just always felt that once he was playing there and then especially after the system changed in the second half of his stay there, he kept getting overlooked, but this was also partly because strikers in the modern game were almost less and less important. At least where I live and work, people simply don't talk about him even though he was part of the winning team season after season for what 6? 7? 8?

But let's all agree we are on the same page. He was/is a great guy, and football is poorer without him!

We all know how it works in Premier League and we are seeing more and more games postponed.

La Liga says that if you have 13 or less players available in the squad, the game will get postponed. Real Madrid's first team squad has 25 active players so, even with seven players in quarentine, Ancelotti has more than enough players available for the next game

Yeah about Aguero, I think he is one of the most underrated modern strikers, outside he probably didn't get as much recognition and I was hoping to see the same magic at Barca but the gods are cruel in football. He is still young, I hope he makes many good memories related to football!

And on another wish, hehe, I hope Sportsbet can reconsider returning to us some of our freebets as I said above I used mine on a special just a few hours before the game, and then it gets postponed last minute. It was like a 2 game special, and one actually already hit, which would have won me 3x ++ on a regular multi.

No one is going to bet on many games if they keep getting postponed.
