Yeah, well... Odds on x2 was too good to miss it. I know that Croatia tends to play bad in the first games of any qualifications so I couldn't miss the opportunity. While the game was on, I was certain that I will lose the bet, but I guess that in football nothing is certain until the final whistle.

Yeah the only thing I was afraid of is us starting slow as usual but we actually looked better than I expected, minus the not being able to finish the game sooner.

I used to bet against us thinking "even if we lose I'll still get some money so I will feel better later" but then that infamous 2008 Euro QF game against Turkey came. We lost and I won the ticket but I was so pissed off because of the war we lost the game that I ripped it to pieces (it wasn't some crazy amount of money though). If not for that unlucky loss we could have won it as we played great that tournament so I said to myself never again betting against any of our teams.

Actually that goal made my day yesterday. Not only did I win my bet (I put some money on x2), that goal made notblox1's answer wrong so I'm still in the game to win this week.

Up until now I was blaming bad luck and our players for not having more composure to sort out the game sooner, but now I know who is actually to blame for that late goal. You jinxed us! Angry

Looking at the spreadsheet, I am on my way to have 0 correct answers. I think there should be some reward for that feat. Grin

It was a horrible goal to concede. We usually stand really deep when defending such situations - and it quite often ends up with chances for the other teams.

We did enough to win yesterday - the group looks easy enough but now we can't afford any more mistakes. Turkey was horrible in recent teams but has a football tradition and needs to be taken seriously.

Actually that goal made my day yesterday. Not only did I win my bet (I put some money on x2), that goal made notblox1's answer wrong so I'm still in the game to win this week. I just need Malta, San Marino and Luxemburg not to score any goal today.

But ona .lmore serious note, it was pretty shocking goal. Croatia pretty much dominated the entire game but couldn't score more than once. In the end I would say that Wales didn't deserve a draw.

CLS63 you won this one. Final question goes to me it's still 2-1. What a miserable outcome, but I'm glad I lost to you thanks to KdB being the non-factor. I know we still got that England game to decide, but I believe the best outcome is a draw for me, you did pick Italy anyway!

We were both terrible in this round. I'm very lucky for getting 3 points. By the way the score is still 2-0.

We couldn't show a good performance even though we won the last match against Armenia. I'm going to be in the stadium on Tuesday. A win we can get would make us take a huge step forward on the road going to the EURO 2024.

trofo what happened? you guys were in control and i switch off TV only to come back to see and equalizer!!!! whose fault was it? Huh

They were in total control but couldn't get another, It was only right they didn't get to win the game, 8 freaking shots on goal, I'm sure you'd have given up hope, If they were already 3 goals, but I like how heart breaking, it turned out to be Grin

I actually think this one could be a bit on Dalić. He just made a substitution before that throw in last seconds of the game. He got out Modrić so he can get standing ovation from whole stadium. All the players were watching the stands and it does get your concentration a little for sure. There is a rule to never make defensive change before opponents set piece and this deep throw in sort of fits into that category.
But to be fair we should have had much bigger lead by that point in the game. We played a solid game yesterday.

We couldn't win since I was just waiting for Croatia for shitload of money on two multi tickets.

That last-minute goal from Wales was so unfortunate and the Norway question would've been my only point for today if it wasn't voided.

I'm likely back to the relegation zone since my fourth loss will be on the way after the last question later today and advance congrats to mitchr4 for the well-fought win. Wink

Another 101 reasons why I will never put my money on UEFA qualifiers and national league games: nothing is guaranteed, players do not make the team when needed, weaker teams cooking at death end, and managers making the wrong decisions = in one sentence "its fucking UNPREDICTABLE HELL".

In this case 1000% agree with you man, i really hate the internationals breaks for that, its so much unpredictable plus for example when you think a team its in a good fit from window to window of matches they can go from hell to sky and viceversa.

Handicap? take away that shit in this games, for example look today Romania only 2-0 against Andorra, or Norway making a really good game against Spain but in only two minutes pass from a 1-0 to a liar 3-0.

Croatia dominating the whole game and in the end the win drip trought their fingers.

it's all right. I think it was fair that it was voided 😁

Omg what happened to Croatia? They were in full control the whole time then suddenly wales scored in 90+3 min!!

@arallmuus 90+3 min has become your curse this round 😂😂

So there goes my chance to win and the best case scenario would be another draw for me. Denmark scored another goal on 90+3' that cost me a point and now Wales did the same to me so yeah Im pretty unlucky

Now I need either Malta, Luxembourg and San Marino to score a single draw to get me the last point. Well this could have been worse for me if the Italy vs England question wasnt voided then you would have won by now !

English FA has Italy at 58% possession, so do Sky Sports, ESPN, Transfermarkt - all of them extremely reputable. Rewatching the game both of us feel that Italy did dominate possession - but cannot be sure.

Damn that means flashscore's stats are bullshit all these times? Anyway kudos to you guys to make this decision, I dont even know that it is possible to have different statistics from what is shown on site like flashscore and such. Some guys really pay attention to this, I would have only wait till my answers being graded on the sheet lol

@slissy : I think I got lucky with this question getting voided, you got Italy to win on the possession so that would have been extra point for you

it's all right. I think it was fair that it was voided 😁

Wow! Both of you really rewatched the entire game just to see which team had more possession? I don't think that anyone here expected this from you but it just shows how much effort you put into making this competition great and just for everyone participating. Great job guys!

Well! Technically they applied the var to that question.

I think the commited in this case, shows how serious this league is, and how much work there is to make it possible, so maybe we're on the easier side of the process.

It would be great to avoid these mistakes in the future by providing questions for the competition in the required format, so I suggest if it is possible to provide backup questions that will be counted in case there is an invalid game. What do you think?

It isn't really a mistake, more of a misunderstanding of a sentence. Still - we'll make sure to avoid such things.
We feel it's better to give some context with the question - especially when something interesting is happening. We will continue to do that, we'll just do it better Grin

Ah, misunderstandings happen to the best of us. But it's great to hear that you're taking steps to avoid them in the future! And providing context with your questions is always a good idea, especially if there's something interesting going on Angry

The worst round I've had in the competition was when I only got one correct answer, so congratulations to Joker. This usually happens when I just rely on guesswork without doing even a quick search. Grin

Logo Designer ⛨ BSFL Division1

Quote from: cryptofrka on March 24, 2023, 07:36:42 AM

I'd personally love to see it. However, it will depend on the participants consensus.
So far only a few logos have been created, and in formats that cannot be implemented.

Maybe you could add additional question in next round and ask everyone if they want to add custom logos for everyone.
This could be something simply generated, made by designer or made by participant itself.
I know few designers in forum and maybe they will be interested to help us, this is one more way of promoting BSFL

What did you expect when facing one of the luckiest bastards in the competition? Grin

I know that I'll probably regret saying this but I just can't help myself

I'm leading 3-2 with 3 answers remaining that we answered differently. So there is still chance for you to beat me.

Luck can change easily, but I think something changed in the table from last time I checked maybe because Italy England match Grin

Announcement regarding Question 4

Fellas, it is simply impossible to make a good decision regarding the possession statistics question.

We already said who's statistics we'll be using (UEFA official) - but the problem is that in this case it is obviously incorrect. It seems that at some point they simply stopped counting passes and calculating possession properly.
It is really not something we could have foreseen, but it is something that we need to address at this point.

English FA has Italy at 58% possession, so do Sky Sports, ESPN, Transfermarkt - all of them extremely reputable. Rewatching the game both of us feel that Italy did dominate possession - but cannot be sure.

We feel it is best that we void the question - whatever we decide will cause harm to somebody but voiding it completely will bring the least harm possible.
The logic behind this decision is that we cannot use data from UEFA - and that's the source we announced we'll use - making all other sources invalid.

We are sorry for those influenced by this decision - but this one was really out of our hands.

Quote from: Igebotz on March 25, 2023, 10:26:57 AM

If we are not going to stick with the official website stats and other well known sources then this could be a problem for the rest of the UEFA games.

We will be using UEFA - hoping that they don't make such mistakes in the future.
What we will do is avoid the possession questions for a while - everything else can be verified by rewatching the game.
