Man, so many away wins and unexpected draws, i really dont know what to think, the good thing its we are all in the same boat, so nobody its taking advantage of this.
Barcelona yesterday was a rare game, Getafe with Bordalas as Manager its not an easy one, and the red card on Rafinha doesnt help.
Well now i check and i see entebah taking some good points.

So, Barca dropped points already in 1st round, 0:0 with Getafe. It was such dirty game and Rapinha gave up to one of provocations, getting stupid red card. Speaking about attack - it lloked like I was watching previous season game...
What I hate is new regulations of additional time, something as we saw in World Cup. 10 added minutes in 1st half and 14 in 2nd half - 24 minutes in total. When big teams havesuch intensive calendar and then they have over 20 minutes added in each game, we shouldn't be surprised if number of injuries will increase.

I should have expected it I guess, serves me fully right I lost big betting against Real Madrid, betting on Barca, whatever lol
The worst thing was not we dropped points but that we are back to our stupid bad discipline days once more. I was so sure we got rid of it finally towards end of last season but here we go gain, red card galore Barca is back
Love the extra time though in reality it forces plyers to play full 90 mins unlike before

I actually don't hate it because they are adding back the number of minutes that was wasted during the course of the game and discouraging time wasting for teams, if you're calling a 90 minutes games and due to VAR checks and number of stoppages as much as much 20 minutes get's waste then was the essence of calling it a 90 minutes game, the new rule is only trying to ensure that each teams actually plays for 90 minutes and not 60-70 when the remaining 20-30 minutes are being spent on the floor, or getting involved is scuffles and other dirty antics.
If not for the fact that it would do damage to a lot dynamics about football in general, I might even suggest instead of given those large minutes which are the amount minutes wasted, they should just implement a count down time like that of NBA matches, where the count would down begin from 90 minutes and stopped in times of VAR checks and potential injuries that brings the game to a halt.

This is the worst round in any pool I've ever been, so many upsets(according to the bookies), draws and away wins. At least Real Madrid saved me from being a duck on the table and having the wooden spoon.
On the upside, the best thing about a bad start is plenty of time to recover, better to start bad than end the competition in a bad position.

I'm not sure how many correct and close scores are normal but my start is pretty lousy. Out if 4sixgames I have only one close guess which earned me 1.5 points. I won't give up, that's for sure but I guess that this competition is for folks that follow football more closely than me.
Most of us have difficult start, but I wouldn't say that we havd lot of upsets so far. Probably only Valencia win can be called as big upset. There was many 50/50 games without favorite, most of players decided to go with home team or draw and it wasn't right pick. Betis scoring late goal against Villarreal was painful for me, I had 1:1 on this game. August 13, 2023, 05:03:31 PM

All 27 of us now have something to cheer for LOL and my prediction for that match is mallorca to win but sadly they are down at the moment yeah, it's just a me choose that score for 4 game already

Considering the last season [that heard from Trofo] it is indeed a very good number. We all did well to spread the words. August 13, 2023, 02:24:51 AM
Oh come on another bad start in this pool for me?. Sevilla are you gonna gain destroy our hopes?.
Another bad start for Sevilla ,and a very good one for Valencia thinking about how abd they was in the last seasons.
I need more info to make some tendencies.

It's pointless buddy. I took my time this round to make some tough choices, and after Real Madrid problems I was so sure they would get at most a draw but then maybe Bellingham was all they needed.
Sevilla Valencia, both are blacklist so that was our bad luck
Double blow for me as Real win lost me here and in BSFL.

Hello everyone, I'm delighted to join you in the Spanish pool for the first season. For me, predicting La Liga match results isn't easy. By the way, I have a close score prediction as well. I've noticed that most participants haven't scored any points yet, awaiting the conclusion of the Real Madrid vs. Bilbao match where Real Madrid is leading by two goals to nil. I hope Bilbao manages to score a goal in the second half and achieve a 2-1 result.
And good luck to all!!

Hey Ulven and finally, joining all of our regular pools alongside BSFL -- welcome home to the real sports mania on bitcointlk 
Real plodding along fine so far, should give me my first few points in this pool, while somehow ensuring life goes on as usual for the, Still hurts a little bit to see the second goalscorer's name there but I suppose better them than Citeh hmm?

I am yet to score a single point. First three match no point for me, in fact only two were able to get some points and user entebah [what is your forum username] is killing it. Two exact scores with 6 points where the other one is only 1.5 points. Rest of us yet to score anything LOL
I don't think I will be able to score any point in Las Palmas vs Mallorca too. 1 - 0 down. No a good start in the pool.

Valencia started season with an away win over Sevilla, on a hard to beat pitch, with a late goal, is it annonucing a better season for us or what?
looking forward to better Valencia that is fighting for Europe under Baraja
Real is set in Bilbao tonight, will be interesting, Real has wins in a row in La Liga there, time to miss one?
I didn't expect Valencia to defeat Sevilla away from home in the first La Liga match that every team is afraid of losing, considering that Sevilla has always been the winning team amongst these two teams considering their last five match statistics.looking forward to better Valencia that is fighting for Europe under Baraja

It was a good start for Valencia; three points is the important aspect now as the League just started. Their next match will be against newly promoted team Las Palmas. I hope they keep winning their matches to prove their strength this season.

Well done Valencia, too bad Sevilla, and I have the worst possible start to the season already getting 2 wrongs what a nightmare lol!
Dembele also finally made it to PSG so I can remove yet another headache from my big Barca hard disk of headaches
@casperBGD I agree, hence my pick against them to win

Initially it was really boring game, especially 1st half, but 2nd was better, especially ending of game. Valencia impressed me, not sure about their chances fighting for Europe, but at least they shouldn't fight to avoid relegation this season. Sevilla squad on paper doesn't looks bad, but it was poor game for them. I expect that they will be destroyed by City in UEFA Super Cup.looking forward to better Valencia that is fighting for Europe under Baraja

Looking forward to see Athletic making upset against Real today.
P.S. Damn, we have 27 players in pool this year, it's way better than I expected
