Damn VAR again!  Angry
I knew Sevilla was trash team this season but I really hope for 1:1 against Mallorca, to continue my good start of this round in La Liga Supebru.
Only one guy predicted 1:0, and yesterday I was first thinking to make the same prediction but changed my mind later  Tongue

Do you guys think that Girona can make a big miracle against Barcelona tomorrow?
Odds for home win are funny low  Grin

There is so much red colour for me this round, I'm still yet to get correct outcome this round. But at least other aren't doing much better. Real dropped points against Betis, maybe it's not that huge upset, but still, unexpected. Tomorrow's game between Barca and Girona have huge value -Barca have chance to get close to leaders, while Girona can take solo lead in league again.
What's wrong with Villarreal this season? OK, they're on my betting blacklist for a while, but c'mon, they have completely no chance at home against Real Sociedad. They should be in relegation zone, but fortunately for them, there is many teams which perform even worse - all teams from P14 to P20 haven't won at least 5 their recent games and Almeria is yet to win their first game.

another last minute lose for Valencia
ok, it is not exactly last minute, but it was behind 80 minutes, and it is not first time

same old Valencia as last season, whereas someone made a table with Valencia being 2, if matches were to be 75 minutes, most goals conceived were after that moment
it is a sign that Valencia need to change physiotherapist, if anything else
I agree with your thoughts, but this game wasn't case when Valencia played well for 75-80 minutes and lost game in final minutes. It was quite poor whole game, 0 shots on target is good indicator. And your opponent isn't Barca or Real, you made 0 shot on target against Getafe, your direct competitor.

Silly Valencia, I had them to draw, and they held out for so long even with 10 men, but now not only can you never trust them to win, now you can trust them to lose. It's not even a "big" team, it's Getafe. Los Che were kinda dumb to say Girona ran them off last game and then don't improve, lets Getafe run them off.

Now I suddenly regret some choices I made in Champions League lol.

Now with VAR you have 2 extra refs (VAR), more confusion, and how do we know it's not system fault? We don't always get to see what the system shows, we actually don't know the system Smiley
Usually, when it's offside, they show lines in replay. But all problems begins when decision is made not by system, but people behind the screen - penalties, red card moments and etc.
BTW, VAR saved my exact prediction again. Now they cancelked Villarreal goal vs Sevilla because they found foul and game ended 1:1.

Offside doesn't always show the lines, that is up to VAR yes it is getting better but even with lines VAR makes mistakes. I believe the Liverpool incident was first time ever a wrong decision was made AFTER lines shown. And lines are drawn manually, some automatic, but interpretation is slow and by the way VAR officials are not even same as referee standard.

Like you said decision is made by people behind screen. Most (assistants of VAR) are not even referee who understand spirit of football. They are literally company reps.

Sepp Blatter was a evil bastardo of football but the one good thing he did was prevent VAR, until he got kicked out anyway. Sepp understood football more than Infantino.

I wouldn't say I'm "killing this pool" with a 5.5 point lead.  Smiley
We've only completed 15 rounds and with 23 rounds remaining, it's still very much anyone's pool to win.

I agree that there are a lot of rounds left. But you are holding the first place for some time now. I was so happy when I saw that I have come near you (I think it was one point difference at some point), but this last round I really played bad.

Wow... Jeremypwr is killing this pool! I thought that I can get to the first place but this weekend pretty much destroyed me. Thankfully I was also saved by that VAR call and got one exact match, but I fell two places even with that result.

I was waiting for the 1-1 draw from Atletico Madrid, but that doesnt come, a missing opportunity for Atletico, because they have in his hand the possibilitie to make a gap to Barcelona and if they win his remaining match reach the top.

+1 saved by VAR
and after lousy Saturday, finished round with 2 exact scores on Sevilla and Barcelona, so round can be considered as good

hoped for Valencia to take a point against Girona, but after Duro goal, we didn't even considered to have ball in our possession and focused just on defense, so didn't even deserved a point
nevertheless, distance to top is not that big, around 10 points, so it is all open still, looking to restore domination here

Barca played probably best 80 minutes this season, but failing to score more than 1 goal with so many moments is guarantee of nervous ending. We got saved by Pena few time in the end. Felix played perfect game against his former team. And nothings surprising that he celebrated his goal against Atletico.

I knew it! 0-0 was my original pick for this first game but I followed majority picks and went 1-0, to my disappointment. Too late to stay up watch other games, what a nonsense game to stay up for lol

I also don't like when almost every goal is getting revieved, it takes too long and slows pace of game. But I prefer to have VAR than getting pissed of after referee mistakes. These mistakes were too often and price of it is too big. Yeah, they still make mistakes with VAR. But it's not system fault, referees behind VAR screen is responsible for it.

But I agree with buwa, why introduce something that not only still makes mistakes but brings new mistakes? Everybody is pissed regardless rf is right or wrong but to me I get over it quickly. Game moves on, great. Now with VAR you have 2 extra refs (VAR), more confusion, and how do we know it's not system fault? We don't always get to see what the system shows, we actually don't know the system Smiley

VAR can sometimes play in our advantage, but I still dont like it  Grin
Girona just scored third goal against Valencia in stoppage time but it was disallowed, and final result remained 2:1.
That is good news for me because I had that exact prediction in this La Liga Superbru round.
That bet on Girona to win La Liga sounds better with every new round.
 
Yeah, that VAR decision helped for me too. Damn, Girona, they conceded first again and won again - how long it can continue? Stuani, what a legend. He didn't left club when they got relegated to Segunda and now scoring crucial goals in La Liga being 37 years old.

I do miss the days of referee just making mistakes and we get pissed off. VAR makes mistakes, and taes 5 minutes to do it, and no one knows what the mistake is until game restarts, sometimes not even.

Girona man, I want to believe the hype but they have to slip up at some point, don't they?

100%, but it looks like their chances of top 4 and the Champions League are growing with each round. It's a pity that next season the Champions League will be complete chaos and in fact no one will even feel that there is a new club there. And in the playoffs we will, as always, see the old set of teams.
After this round you will need to check the bookmakers' odds for the Girona title, before this round they were equal to 17.00 (lol what a disrespect).

After collecting 18 points in Round 14 I was expecting to get a yellow cap. However when I checked the leaderboard I saw that I was only able to become the 4th. notblox1 managed to win the yellow cap by managing to collect exactly 20 points this week. I don't think that anyone will be able to collect 20 points again this season. Therefore I congratulate him very much.

Back to the drawing board for me.

I am already at drawing board for a long time
used to own this pool, but times are changing, and I can't find solution for choppy Valencia form and up-risers like Girona, that does not seem as quality teams

missing out on Barca, had them as draw, and changed last minute, while had them to win over Porto, and changed to draw in last minute
Barca is not my cup of tea obviously

but it is a long season, will try to catch up with top5

Damn! You had the exact same score prediction like me for last match Shocked
I was so close this round and I was really thinking hard to pick 1:1 final score but I decided to go with 2:2 for Girona match.
Well done two guys who ended above me in this round, it was so close, but I always love good competition, win or lose.

Aaaand I'm out of top 10 with that draw. Thought I'd keep following the form and sniffed out the home win, but Athletic was always going to be a tough team to beat. jeremypwr quietly extending his lead but vd309 making up the most ground. Back to the drawing board for me.

Time to pump down on Barca? Made it through UCL groups for the first time under Xavi but they really had to suffer from Porto huh?

I did not watch a lot of the Girona this season but from what I have seen they are quite attacking team and often turning around the games after falling a goal or two behind. I have been playing both to score on their games almost all season and it passed every time, hopefully it will continue tonight but now that I said it, I have probably ruined it for me.
