...but I think Vini is a very provocative and annoying player who is always making some kind of gesture to trigger reactions from the fans.

Respect goes both ways - if you do not respect the fans, they will reciprocate the same energy and make your life a living hell. Honestly I think Vini is doing too much, if he hates it so much in Spain then why not leave and save everyone the stress.
Vini is great footballer but he is not good person. He is making it all about himself and gets of from humiliating other players. It is a fine line to thread when you are as good dribbler as he and it gets especially though for Brazilians. I don't think he would finish a single game standing if he played in England 15 years ago. Those stoppers knew how to stop showboating.

You don't see players like Modrić being booed anywhere. He even gets applause from opposition fans and that is something Vini should try to accomplish as well. Ronaldinho managed to do it while being sort of similar player profile to Vini.

I have got it too, but there is a difference, you must make, and I'm not making excuses but. If you be with fans and theres alcohol and theres group herd mentality. Everyone is gonna be hating on you and making it the most humiliating. If Vini played for their teams they would love him.

As someone who is always targeted in life myself, I can say this. Vini must not take it personally. Be a professional, the ultimate professional. Because he is also being extremely unfair to Spanish fans, club people, and teammates who stood up for him. For sure ban racist fans, ban for life or whatever. Punish club. Change rules. But going his way is not changing things its avoiding things.

Every gathering has one or two racists, therefore racism is ubiquitous; it is passed down from generation to generation; it cannot be eliminated; it can only be curtailed.

I like Vini; he's a great player, but he makes everything about himself; he's not the only black player at Real Madrid, nor is he the only black player in the league; I'm not supporting racists here (I'm black), and I'm not supporting Vini, but I think Vini is a very provocative and annoying player who is always making some kind of gesture to trigger reactions from the fans.

Respect goes both ways - if you do not respect the fans, they will reciprocate the same energy and make your life a living hell. Honestly I think Vini is doing too much, if he hates it so much in Spain then why not leave and save everyone the stress.

I hope the guys don't get too excited. Raphinha first hattrick and he says now we don't need any more players. He's kinda right but we need more cover, injuries are problem. And we need to fix finances.

Same want-away Raphinha the club wanted out few months ago? Making everyone behind that decision look stupid now...lol

Well, Spanish football fans, pardon me for invading your thread in the middle of the night, but I was hoping to find some interesting discussion concerning Vini's recent statements on Spain fans and the possibility of moving the 2030 World Cup from Spain( saying Spanish fans are racist)... His body and recent comments isn't looking good.

Its hard for me to make a clear decision about this. To me, Spain fans are like every fans. They come to football and they become racist. Trust me its the same back home. We are very very dark brown skin but if we watch cricket suddenly the different brown shade is the target of the fans every time the bad decision comes, it is his race or his village or his state, but its all related to skin color. We idiots don't even realize the rest of the world sees us as same dark color lol

There is no reserve for fees so first place will sponsor our transaction. Fee will be set to confirm inside 5 blocks. In case fees stay like they are now that isn't important but if we get some crazy situations and overall fee gets over 1 mBTC I will spread it over other rewards as well proportionally. I never consolidated inputs before but if you think that is something you want me to do, let me know.
These days the fees are low, you can use it. Get all inputs together and send it to the same address. When it's time for the prize distribution, if the fees are high, you are not going to pay additional costs for all these 25+ inputs.

So I've always been happy to watch Celta games, and it's got one of my favourite players (not so much for his talent but for his spirit) but after scoring for fun again all over this season, and Aspas proving that last season's ending flurry was not temporary, I had to go and find out more about them...

Turns out, Rafa getting sacked wasn't just about performance. The club took on a new director, and she's been doing a total remake of the club structure, brought in an Academy homegrown manager, and her speeches (translated) are like Klopp fire mixed with blood haha.

Interesting club, and yes, they lost again so I shouldn't have persevered (2 consecutive picks I made choosing them when they were both times slight underdogs) but I'm going to be putting my faith in them. Really like what I see!

Congrats to Saint-loup for winning the Round 4 Yellow Cap

Good job! Now take it easy Wink

Wow. Not sure which one I will enjoy talking about tomorrow the most with my buddies. Las Palmas taking another 2 points from my bitter rivals, or Barca scoring 7?

I hope the guys don't get too excited. Raphinha first hattrick and he says now we don't need any more players. He's kinda right but we need more cover, injuries are problem. And we need to fix finances.

In anyway, nice to be on top with a small cushion so fast, but worry for Bellingham when he is back, worry for Mbappe when he starts scoring again.

Viva Las Palmas  Grin

Watched the hole Barca game after a long, long time and I must say I knew Yamal was good from reports but watching him gives whole another level of praise. His first touches are out of this world and if he had a right back that has some trickery to him like Dani Alves, that right side would be unstoppable. Kounde is just not getting half of his plays.

Olmo was great after getting into the game. Always nice to debut with a goal.

So happy to read something like this because honestly whenever I myself watch our young guys, I feel like am I biased and is this guy like a superhero or is someone else also gonna agree?

Olmo very nice agree, and quietly to say I am actually also really happy we got back Ansu, it felt wrong to loan him out honestly.

Holy shit I knew we were waiting so hard on Pedri and Olmo, but dream return for our 'new' guy and a failed Lewan goal still didn't stop from winning all 3 points. Perfect start and I know the teams aren't really super tough but this was still a big headache for us and somehow we managed to get through it.

Rayo again making things dificult for big teams in his little stadium, Barcelona is strugling so much to win. Why Dani Olmo was in bench?

Guess maybe he didn't have enough training sessions yet, he couldn't enter the team earlier. So happy still Smiley

Seems like the Atletico madrid cant find a real good performance in this season. They are running out of steam without doing so much.

Needs to wake up fast and start to stop losing points in early stages so the gap in front is not big.

I was expecting much more from Alvarez, but until now he cant do so much.

Villarreal is having some really stranges games this last months, i still remember the rain of goals from the past season when Sorloth overtook Dovnik in the last push in the race for being the topscorer of the season.

Did anyone watched Villarreal - Celta yesterday? It's just 3rd round, but already now we had one of best games this season. It ended 4:3 with Villarreal win. My bet on Yellow Submarines ML was saved only on 100th minute when Parejo missed penalty, but scored from 2nd attempt.
Now waiting for Rayo - Barca game. Finally they were able to register Dani Olmo. In first two games Barca had probably youngest bench in history with most players being 20-21 years old or even younger.
After midweek round there is one more round on weekend and then we will go into first international break this season :/

I did, but on text (not the same at all I know), but it was enough to know that Celta could have taken the win at so many opportunities (I had a bet on them I thought was high value at about 5/1). Barca win keeping the hearts aflutter. Pedri back on the scoresheet, Olmo taking all 3 points. Barca are getting to know what it means to win with struggle -- I think it's going to be good for them. International break? So soon?!

P.S. Didn't realise or forgot you supported Villareal. Great fans, met them at Anfield in 2016!

Pool is now officially closed for this season. There is 27 of us competing and we have 40 mBTC sponsorship from Sportsbet. That comes down to 67 mBTC total funds.

Season 2024-2025 rewards structure:
1. Place - 27 mBTC (fees are paid from this prize)
2. Place - 13 mBTC
3. Place - 9 mBTC
4. Place - 7 mBTC
5. Place - 5,5 mBTC
Highest overall yellow cap - 5,5 mBTC

There is no reserve for fees so first place will sponsor our transaction. Fee will be set to confirm inside 5 blocks. In case fees stay like they are now that isn't important but if we get some crazy situations and overall fee gets over 1 mBTC I will spread it over other rewards as well proportionally. I never consolidated inputs before but if you think that is something you want me to do, let me know.

We can also consolidate one pool and not the other and see what difference it makes at the end Smiley

As I made my prediction like Sevilla to defeat Villarreal by 2-1, I got excited when there was a goal notification popped up on Flashscore in the 90+5th minute. However I realized that Villarreal were the team to score the goal and it caused me to have a disappointment for a short time. Even though it is just the beginning of the season, I started the La Liga pool really terrible in which I won a prize last year.

The shittiest thing about all these pools is I'm placed the highest in the pool I know the least about. Same as last season my best placing was for Serie A, lol. More I think about more this pools are pure psychology. Just a lot of us give up when we are down and put in dumb scores. Draws seem to be quite popular this round of early games everywhere I noticed.

But Barca got another tough win, Olmo should be back soon, we are almost past a tricky start.
