Is it safe to say Croatia just aren't built for Gold Medals on the grandest of stages ?

I was confident going with Spain knowing they lost one of their group games and I almost had them in the previous week question to not qualify, but seeing how they turn things around, it's was only logical that I give them benefit of the doubt to triumph here, which they did, so regardless of the result, if feels good to have started from where I left last week 2 of 2 so far for this round.

I wouldn't say that Croatia isn't built for gold medals. Maybe when it comes to European championship in handball where we have four silver medals (I think) and no gold. But in waterpolo we were defending champions and didn't manage to defend the title. Trofo and cryptofrka said it best - everyone in Croatia would have taken the silver medal if it was offered before the tournament started. But after what we showed on the tournament and especially in the yesterday's game in the first half, it's a shame to lose a gold medal like that.

What a comeback from Spain. Grin Grin

It was silly. so silly



The score was 10-8 up to the 3rd quarter and I believe it was still 0-0 on 5th minutes on 4th quarter then Spain score a goal ( Im not even sure if it called as a goal in water polo ), I thought to myself its good because Croatia is still leading the game. Bam they scored the 2nd and its not looking good right now but hey its tied and it was on 8th minutes so the quarter was going to be over then somehow Spain scored the 3rd. 2024 has been pretty unlucky so far for me  Roll Eyes

All questions submitted early today and I had the same first two answers like hakan, but next two could be very important.
My players decided to give support to Ivory Coast and Fiorentina, so let the better teams win.
Good luck everyone, better luck to me  Grin

Damn, submitting tennis is.. hard. Will they play 2 matches or 3, a lot depends on it - and it is impossible to calculate it.
I dont think 3 matches will happen until Sunday, this is not table tennis  Grin

Maybe trofo sent jeremypwr to distract me? Yeah I'm going to investigate.
Just admit that Snake offered you good money bribe to skip this round  Angry
I think both of you should be punished for breaking rules and for illegal activity, and I am calling for INTERPOL and F1FA intervention asap.
Shame on you!

Now he is trying to spin it somehow but we all know the truth in our hearts Smiley
F1FA president just called me and he said you should be punished with -3 points for financial manipulations Shocked

I will give two stories here, both equally plausible.

My people visited his people and his people prudently decided it is in the best interest of all parties concerned to not show up to the game  Cool

Igebotz FC manager was afraid of meeting the only club that managed to win against notblox1 this season and did not know how to prepare for the game. In the end he opted to keep opponent secret from his players and just give them empty phrases like "we will play our game and result we come". But players are not stupid and when they were getting on the pitch they have seen who the opponent is. Shocked to their core half of them couldn't walk anymore while other half got a case of sever panic induced diarrhea. There was no other option but forfeit  Grin

Now he is trying to spin it somehow but we all know the truth in our hearts Smiley

You lucky bastard, how about telling the media how you hired jeremypwr to keep me hostage in PM, and how your people went to my players and bought them off? I heard you paid the players $200 apiece after what they did to you the last time to protect your promotion to division 1.  Sad
Hardly my fault if your team sells out for 200$ apiece. That just means you are cheap bastard  Grin No wander players deserted you when you needed them the most.

Kidding aside, these points will come handy but I would prefer if it was a good all fashioned beating on the pitch.

vd309 and I only have 3 different answers and I lead by 1 point, so a very good start for me! I only need Sainz to win the race or for West Ham to win against Sheffield United to secure 3 points.😁

Croatia was in the lead whole game, but last quarter without a goal conceived brought Spain to gold medal
have to say that I almost thought it is over, when Spain scored two goals in last two minutes, and completely overturn the match

congrats to Spain, although Croatia deserved gold medal as well
and that brought me first point against cryptofrka, although he will probably miss gold medal more than this point

It's amazing how I keep losing in BSFL.
We had everything, 2-goal advantage going into the last quarter, won another sprint, we needed 1-2 goals in the whole quarter for smooth sailing.

We rushed it, made silly mistakes, and Spain's got too much quality for that. The winning goal is pure class.

Shame about the gold medal - it's tough to lose it like this. But I feel everybody would have taken silver before the start of the tournament.

Germany is losing by 3, so I can only hope it's a blowout there. My BSFL round does not look good at all.
Though one, to loose like that but let's be fair, if someone offered us silver before tournament started we would take it with both hands and be super happy about it.

And one comment nobody else mentioned, we have damn fast swimmers, almost all the balls at start are ours and this time we got 4/4.



Oh, sheriff, what have you done? You gave easy points to Trofo, your nemesis.

Wft- Here's my advice to the younger generation: don't mix alcohol and pussy; I did and ended up missing the season's Derby and a potential $50 side bet. I am sorry, guys.

And to appear more foolish. I've been online conversing with jeremypwr all day and forgot to enter my answers. Trofo enjoys that one. I won't be able to sleep this week knowing I gave you 3 free points.

Maybe trofo sent jeremypwr to distract me? Yeah I'm going to investigate.

wtf... I thought I put Sainz as the winner, haha!

Not going to whine, jayce has the same answer.

Edit: Cro put up a good fight, didn't realise the decider happened tonight. Blew a final quarter lead too...

Damn you seems pretty knowledgeable on this one, I cant wait to see ur answer on this question. I totally have no clue on this and this is the first time I've read something called 'Dakkar rally'. Well for a first timer like me, I didnt even care to google this up or his name because question stated that he is a several times winner so yeah you probably already guess what my answer is ( unless that is a trick question from cro2 team )

Not at all. I'm not knowledgeable, this is just nostalgia.

Even when I used to watch it, I didn't know names, it'd be my uncle telling me the cars and what they'd be doing (when fixing). It's far removed from F1, it's just the 2 men and their car. And there's no practice session either, you get a map at the start of the race and then your navigator has to be on point or you lose your way. If I remember from the 1990s, drivers even go out to fix their own engines/tyres/whatever it is so really it's a guy, his car, and his navigator. I know the team follows also and of course they have to because you can crash in the middle of nowhere.

In any case, the rally is quite close to my childhood memory because back home, dirt biking is also popular in the jungles. And I never drove a Range Rover but for many years in a past life, I learned to drive, eat, sleep, live, work in my very own Land Cruiser, that thing pulled me out of so many scrapes I almost belief my life depended on it. Nowhere near the rally experience but it's somehow nostalgic and related to me.

Anyway Sainz won in the past but no way was he a top dog this one, actually not won anything with current team. It's really his lead now rather than his rep that makes a strong case.

What is more surprising to me is the fact that he has a solid lead in the LaLiga pool and in the BSFL he can't get out of the relegation zone. A month or so ago I was right behind him in the LaLiga pool but after a few lousy rounds I fell behind.
It only shows how much different things prediction pools and BSFL. It's so difficult to be good at both, but so easy to be bad at both games Cheesy.

Forgot to mention I love the inclusion of Dakkar rally -- used to follow that on TV in my youth, and I think it doesn't get the love it deserves. This Sainz guy, I'm backing him to be a legend in this year's edition. He's already fallen to second place at today's stage so it doesn't look good on me, but I won't use VAR and allow this to take its course. He still has a healthy lead but more importantly, seems to be the least error-prone, so the penalties on the ones chasing should see him through.

He's 62. He had spinal injuries in his last race after a crash, has a habit of retiring races early but man his performance in this one...

Alongside sad news that a driver has passed after an earlier accident. Dakar is hellish and the drivers who brave it are something else.
Sainz is one of biggest legends of Dakar. And yeah, he is 62 already, but rally raids is one of rare sports where you can be competetive at such age. BTW, if someone don't know, Sainz is father of Ferrari F1 driver Carlos Sainz Jr., maybe one day we will see his son in Dakar too.
Sainz lost quite a lot today to main opponent Loeb, but still have over 20 minutes lead. 3 days remaining, everything still can happen.
And yeah, sad part of Dakar that almost each year it takes life of participants. RIP...

Oh man what a lousy finish by Croatia... We were leading the whole game and then lost it 11-10 in the end. Now I have a boring week ahead. Only if one of the top tennis players drop out early, I'll get a draw here.

The second is the last question so we will have to wait to see who wins it. But whoever wins today is sure not to lose this round.
