    Champions League 2024-25

    So a pretty good night in the end prediction-wise. Sure most of these outcomes were predictable but still not bad. Girona were the least fancied outcome of the 7 I got right, with 68 percent backing them to win. Interestingly, and surprisingly, there was a lot of hope for Dortmund - Real Madrid...

    That's a fair point too. You'd think if you were more open against RM they would destroy you on the counter. But it does seem like their younger midfielders lack the press resistance that Kroos and Modric had, so going after them and pressing them relentlessly will yield chances high up the...

    Liverpool became a little more measured under Klopp in the second half of his tenure, and they seem to have a greater element of control under Slot. Bayern can slow the game down and be less vertical when they want to, they're very capable. Nevertheless, I agree with your general point: Man...

    Hopefully we see some upsets if some of the weaker sides are unseeded and are playing against stronger seeded teams in the play-off round. Though that might make the round of 16 onwards more of a procession. As with most things there's two sides of the story.

    Yeah I prefer Vini to Mbappe too. I used to be a big Mbappe fan but the more people mention his flaws the more apparent they become to me. Still a top-class player but think Vini has better tight control in some situations.

    I said when they announced it that this could be good - it's true that teams don't play the same teams, so some sides get easier fixture lists. However, the way it works out - playing 8 teams once instead of three teams twice - adds more variety and more testing situations. Contrary to what...

    Them needing just to beat Mainz at home in the final game in May 2023 to win the title, and fucking it up sums them right up (as well as Bayern scoring with a few mins to go). I watched that and the occasion got to them. I really like them too but they bottle it a lot. I am sure they equalised...

    Juventus and PSG costing me a perfect card.

    That is a fair way to look at it too :)

    Football fans would want rivals to lose a game of tiddlywinks. It's irrational but just the way it is. Plus it gives them a boost for the weekend.

    Fuck sake, I am almost psychic LOL. I am behind in my stream so honestly had no idea they had scored again haha. Cunts could have at least got me an exact if they were gonna win. I'd have happily taken a wrong for a Dortmund win.

    Thanks. They'll probably score a fourth now though and fuck up the exact - worst of both worlds.

    Fuck sake, should have scored there. Edit: and now it's 3-2.

    True, good analogy. It's still fucked up how they get so many undeserved results.

    Champions League 2024-25

    How do they do this sort of thing so regularly? 2 goals in 2 minutes and stuff like that? It is definitely mentality as serghei says. A team concedes one against them in the Bernabeu and gets nervous thinking ' we are playing Real Madrid in their home here, fuck' and just collapse like a pack...

    My 3-2 prediction looking ominous now, unfortunately :facepalm:

    Mbappe did well to dig that cross out to be fair to the cunt. Rudiger couldn't miss.

    Champions League 2024-25

    They get outplayed a lot but they are always clinical and have the ability to get it done in both boxes, especially the attacking box. In between the boxes though they've always been pretty average, even when they had world-class midfielders. What they are good at is creating chances in...
