I think we are heading towards stopping all major sports leagues in Europe for few months. <...>

Totally.

Now my question is: if the PL is suspended indefinitely in the upcoming days, what will happen to our pool?

I guess that mostly depends on what happens with PL. If they just have a break no matter how long and than continue with the season I see no reason to do anything with our pool.

In case this season of PL is finished than we have to make a decision. I hope it will not come to that but there was some talks in Germany already to finish the season and just award European places as per current ranking. Serie A is talking about possibility of some playoff.

If worst happens we can just scratch this season and use the money as entry fee for next season or pay out the rewards as per current ranking. I have a feeling something between those 2 options would be fair option but that complicates things.

Arsenal is in quarantine, probably they will not play his match. I guess until Saturday, someone of the other player from the league will be positive to the virus and it will be suspended.
Idk why the problem is that everything is suspended on two weeks how long the incubation is and the virus will be isolated. sooner or later awaits all of us, two weeks quarantine.

I see that few Leicester players are in quarantine too. I think it would be stupid to continue competition now. I think nothing will happen to our pool, we will be able to continue playing when competition will resume.
Seems that Euro 2020 will not happen this year, as L'Equipe reported...

Serie A finally confirmed it a few hours ago: https://twitter.com/SerieA/status/1237666616315449345

La Liga could be next. There's going to be a reunion tomorrow to determine what the next course of action is going to be.
I also posted a couple of articles regarding the Europa League/Champions League and coronavirus here and here.
Premier League will most likely follow the rest of the leagues very soon.

Literally every major sporting event is getting postponed/suspended in Europe. Crazy stuff.

I think we are heading towards stopping all major sports leagues in Europe for few months. It's radical, but probably best decision in such situation. Because things which are going on now is ridiculous - football without fans isn't football. And games without spectators doesn't makes sense when thousands of fans still gather outside stadium like in Valencia yesterday.
And now Italian clubs will have to play in Champions league in other country and without playing in Serie A games. Is it fair? I don't think so. I don't even talk about travelling restrictions and etc
Probably such decision will force to move EURO 2020 to next year, but I don't see other way if Coronavirus will continue to spread so fast.

This corona thing is effecting in every area. So sad to see it and I hope all of us will be safe.

I was just curious to see the result of City vs Arsenal match so that I can have it in my favor and get some points. I did not have any interest to watch it since we have Liverpool match in CL LOL

But do you guys think it's gonna be everywhere after a couple of months? Should we start prepping?

Not sure man. The way this is moving is not looking good.

As I understand, completely Italy is on quarantine, not only Serie A. this is pretty serious.
I find somewhere that is in UEFA the option of postponing all national competitions, UCL and EL also until April. a major problem with the easy spread of Corona. Euro 2020 it will be for sure cancelled for this year.

That's the problem with fullbacks in general. They are either/or, all of them - even the elite ones.
Lahm was probably the only complete full back in the game.

It's also a matter of playing style - Klopp uses TAA practically as a playmaker from a wide area. Solskjaer uses Bissaka to stay wide and occasionally overlap.

Poor fullbacks, they never really know how to please everyone but for me,,, yeah Aaron Wan Bissaka is the perfect fullback, but only in the perfect back 4 system that does not need to attack or provide creative outlets. Bissaka is still just doing tackling and at most he crosses in he does not attack with the ball.

Uh oh, that's how it starts, guys. First, games postponed because of Coronavirus, then, games being played behind closed doors, and ultimately, the whole thing gets suspended Undecided

I think what the FA is gonna do is wait until Liverpool are crowned champions (could happen next week if they win their next two games) and then evaluate whether the rest of the season gets postponed (and resume in the summer) or suspended.

Aston Villa losing was good news for Watford (our resident sports bookie sportsbet.io sponsor them) so that’s good news.

Elsewhere it’s Man City vs Arsenal tomorrow, can City bounce back?

I did not watch Leicester game, were they really that much better and destroy Villa, or they were not good enough? is it a Leicester mini-crisis over?

I did not watch too but I was following the score. Vardy got two goals and one of them from Penalty. When Vardy performs Leicester wins. So if Vardy is back then possibly Leicester is back too.

And yes the competition between 2nd and 6th place will be interesting LOL. Toke seems to be the current Liverpool 😜

Can't believe how close it as as the top. No idea how I crept up so far into joint 5th Tokeweed is quite far ahead in first place on 282 but there's only 5 point between sixth and second places.

Another bad round from me and tokeweed extended the distance of course. From 2nd to 6th, there are not much distance which means I am going to lose my position very soon if I continue sucking like this. I do not see any other way for me too 🤔

From 2nd to 6th? I know that feel bro Sad

tokeweed is pretty stable on 1st position but top five positions race is very interesting. Something like in PL table

Everyone has one good round and in next drop all these points.

By the way, finally Vardy got goals and Leicester won again.

Haven’t done my pick yet - anyone know if Vardy is playing ?

Quote from: tomahawk9 on March 09, 2020, 04:53:24 PM

Man, I thought Vardy was going to be sidelined, wtf? I needed Maddison to score today so i could win a 5mbtc free bet Sad

had i known Vardy was going to play, i woulda picked him in the majestic7..i'm so bummed out.

I had 2-0 down but then saw Vardy wasn't in the starting line-up so changed it to 1-0. Don't suppose it matters for me as I still got the points for the win any way as did everyone else apart from elw_er_1.

Don't forget the City/Arsenal game tomorrow. 10 players still not made a pick yet.

Sterling’s finishing is terrible isn’t it, sometimes it looks like he couldn’t hit a cows ass with a pan full of rice Wink

He’s a good player but I don’t think he’ll ever be what we class a truly world class.

Yeah, IMO he's your average fast winger that helps open up the defence if you provide him with good assists, other than that, he lacks dribbling (unlike Bernardo), passing (unlike Mahrez or Mané), and obviously, good finishing (unlike Salah).
