Im in the bottom so i cant hope so much in this pool for me , but still a lot of rounds to come so i have a little faith on myself, a comeback with megarecovery.
Yes we are 3/4 in the top in this round after 3 really hard games to predict.
Yes Morata goal was really funny and also a good goal made all by himself, funny because he didnt know he score.

I don't think I'm ready for the resumption of the league yet, I literally just put in picks so as not to leave them empty but It's been of no use whatsoever so far, I'm still yet to get a single point in this round 😒
Only a couple of exact score in the remaining fixtures can save me from dropping beyond imagination in the leaderboard.

You mean like dropping somewhere like me in 16th? Hehe.
I'm supposed to be actually pretty decent in La Liga, considering I follow this league the most, but time and again my points don't match even my own low expectations.
How I finished in 6th in WC pool is mysterious to me when I can't even get middle of table for a league I follow.
Did you guys see Morata goal/performance yesterday? He dribbled into the box and took some week shot or even pass and then fallen down like they killed him. While he is almost dying on the field he hears from crowd that his team scored a goal, miraculously gets up to celebrate with his team mates only to realize that he is the one that scored a goal.

C'mon, you're 3rd, even with terrible round you can't drop much.Don't know why Superbru dashboard on La Liga pool is still stuck like before World Cup break, but I got relief when I saw actual table where I'm slightly above 16th place.
I might have exaggerated the reality with my statement honestly, but that's only because of how close I knew the players below me are, I expected that some of them would have gotten a number of points with those first two results, and Atletico Madrid was seeming to be another wrong pick but they later gave me an exact score with their 2-0 win, and when I check the rankings most users have just 6 points so far, so maybe it's not been a bad start for me anyways.
Real Madrid facing Valladolid later today along with some other fixtures, with an injury-free squad, I think Real Madrid at 1.5+ Odds is an actual steal, I might just go for Real Madrid to win and BTTS in Sevilla vs Celta Vigo where I expected goals at both ends, on a single betslip.
December 29, 2022, 07:03:24 PM
Opening game of round was great, my BTTS bet passed easy, butlater games were so disappointing and it burned my profit. I had 2:0 on Atletico, but literally few minutes before the game I changed it to 3:0. Another proof that such changes isn't good idea 
.
If it's difficult to expect something exciting from Atletico, even against Elche, then I had bit bigger expectations from Betis - Athletic game.

Its really strange to see Sevilla in the relegation zone, its like for ton of years they were on the top 7 in the league and a sure thing in the Europa League.
I think we can see a good comeback from them, but i dont know if that can be enought to reach the european spots.

^ Yeah, Sevilla the royal bed crappers, don't even want to think how much they cost me but come on, we've learnt our lessons about them already haven't we? I remember in one of the WC threads people were asking why Bono isn't considered for best goalie and as great as he did for Morocco... you cannot play 5/6 games and then say you're awesome. Sevilla's position says all there is (and no I haven't forgot this is a keeper who also scored and assisted back when we didn't learn their bedcrapping momentum).
Anyway, Rayo up a goal.

a lot of matches that are tight in this round, more than Betis for me is interesting to see Sevilla in Vigo, is relegation fight a new reality for Sevilla with 11 injured players, or they will come up stronger
Can't believe I missed this one too, you're absolutely spot on for the game of the matchweek! Sevilla is almost 4x which really reflects the situation they're in now in the table, fighting for survival and coming down hard from such a terrible season. And yet it seems like a great bet considering they are meeting Celta only 1 spot above them.
Bounou really let me down in the World Cup quiz, I picked him every time he made the quiz and then he started letting in goals so funny he is always playing with so many defenders in front of him injured lol. Let's see how he does tomorrow.

I'm more curious if Betis is still in a great shape and they will get those 3 points from Bilbao and get that 3rd place back in LaLiga.

judging by friendlies, Betis is far from top form, and Bilbao outscored all teams on friendlies
does not have to mean anything, and Betis has 5/7 home wins, but Bilbao has good season as well

Elche or no Elche , ATL.Madrid are not having a great year overall so maybe Elche can indeed speculate this situation and get a positive result even if it's very hard to achieve a victory vs ATL.Madrid so maybe a draw could be happening.

2 more days to La Liga! I have a big feeling about Elche 
Damn, good thing you posted that here, totally forgot that Spanish league starts early this season due to congested schedule. They are not usually even thinking about restart before New Year started and everybody gets back from skiing trips 
This season we are spoiled for good football. I am thinking this winter World Cup is actually a good thing, we had high quality football all the time. Problems will probably start for some teams towards the end of the season when fatigue kicks in.
Yeah
World Cup really screwed with our brains, but in a good way. I definitely thought it was a good idea to do it right from the suggestion because of the high quality we can watch in clubs, with all the rest in between for most teams. End of season fatigue is better than mid season and end season fatigue I think!!Hope no one gets a Nueur skiing accident
Elche? No way, this team simply don't belongs to La Liga. The problem that Atletico is looking like a team which can lose to anyone. But loss against Elche would be overkill.
Exactly. It's not that I'm so much into Elche at all, it's that Atletico simply can't be tolerated at the moment, read that now they want to get Firmino? You can't ask a positive player to play negative football but who knows what Simeone thinks of?

would agree that this is wrong time for WC
glad to have La Liga back, Valencia is heading to nearby ceramic kingdom of Villareal to play last match in this year, not ideal time to watch the match, but if we end up winning there, it would be a great way to finish this year and open possibility for Europe competition next season

Yes i hope , they (FIFA) dont make again a World Cup in November December time, the worst league its the Bundelisga, they have the last match in mid November and the next one is in mid january for troubles with winter like always, its so much time without playing real level football.
I cant wait to this one to start and can have fun again.

Real Madrid are at the 6th position although they have been the most successful team in European cups in the recent years.
If that rankig would be really important, then yeah, changes would be needed. But now it doesn't matter in general, same like FIFA national team ranking. It's only important for qualifying stages, seeding of clubs and etc..But yeah, it looks a bit strange when clubs who haven't won CL like PSG and City is above Real.

Not very important detail - Valencia won't have to go anywhere because Villarreal is playing their home games at Levante stadium this season because of their stadium reconstruction. It should be interesting game. glad to have La Liga back, Valencia is heading to nearby ceramic kingdom of Villareal to play last match in this year,

I think it has emerged that it is much better for the World Cup to be organized at the end of the season considering the national leagues. I think football lovers will need some time to concentrate on the national leagues again. By the way, don't UEFA need to make an update in their club ranking criteria? Real Madrid are at the 6th position although they have been the most successful team in European cups in the recent years.

That was way too hard on him man, haha. Not that I love him, I still like Benzema a bit more (and that's me as a Barca fan!!) but I saw those two hits and they were instinctive, first time shots... without looking at the direction, so you can expect that those types of shots will miss more often than they will go in.
Some strikers are trained to shoot, some to find a pass, it's obvious to me which Giroud is
It was about these two shots that I thought when I wrote that he failed I would not call it a unluck, but a purely technical flaw in the first case - he did not hit where he was aiming. In the second case, it is even worse - he missed, plus he did not even think (because he did not see the position of the players on the field) that if he gives a pass to the right, then his partner will hit the empty goal.

he would not be worse than Giroud, who frankly failed the games with Morocco and Argentina.

I would not agree that Giroud failed against Morocco, he hit the post in a good situation and had great shot from around penalty spot, that ended near the post (maybe I just jinxed him to go to competition final), would call it unlucky, hardly failure
and against Argentina, whole France team failed in first half, and he didn't even touch the ball, and he was noticed as injured before the match
overall, Giroud had great tournament, IMO
not sure what happened with Benzema, but he could change final for sure, and that didn't happen for some reason

Benzema announced retiring from France national team
We don't know full story between Benzema and France in this WC. Something happened and I feel dirty secrets will get uncovered now that WC is over. I am not buying that injury story especially after Benzema proclaimed he is not interested to play in final. Could be something as simple as he really was injured and wanted to come back for final but Dechamps said no or it could be something totally different. Hmm! That took me by surprise (him retiring). Didn't even know he said he wasn't interested, honestly just thought it was really bad news for me at first knowing he was out of the whole tourney. Either way, he/Giroud are surely on their last legs, and if there were any more secrets to share, Didier did well to put it all under wraps.
Moot point in the end I guess. They really needed his last-minute magic.
