HuHuHuhu....good for you, you won your bet T_T

Not yet :P My bet implied Inter winning the Serie A, against every other team, so there's still alot to go trough, but its a head start, specially since I consider Roma the only team that can rival Inter this year. Milan has started very badly and Juve needs more options in the bench. If they get trough an injury period, I dont think they can compete as good as Inter or Roma does in the same situation.

It seems that Royal got a nice result, 1-0 in Getafe's field. Getafe isnt doing so well this season, but they were very strong the in the last season. I didnt see the game, so I dunno how they played, but it must have been a free kick or a corner for Sergio Ramos to score. Anyone saw the match?

 

[Patoz]

Ah, I knew it, Milan draws with Catania.... How can this happens, are you asking? Bah, I don't know...
Hey Guys, for you, how will end between:
Stoccarda - Barcellona
Inter - PSV
Lione - Glasgow Rangers
?
I bet 2;1;1. What will be the results?

 

[Mendes]

I'm not familiarized with football bets. What does 1 or 2 mean in this kinds of bets?

Anyway, I predict (not bet) Porto will win against Besiktas, Liverpool must win against Marseille, Valencia will defeat chelsea :P Lazio draws with Royal, Bremen kicks Olympiakos hard(over 3 goals difference), Milan gets Celtic down, Benfica draws with Shakthar, lyon wins against rangers, barça'll most likely massacre stuttgart, I'll risk a Roma's win on Old Trafford, while sporting looses in Kiev, Inter wins with PSV, Fenerbahce does the same to CSKA, then Arsenal and Sevilla wins both their matches

The crystal ball also tells me Figo will score twice against PSV :P

 

[Epul]

Well, *looks into his crystal ball* I see Valencia to beat Chelsea (Chelsea is in disarray at the moment) and of course Man United to beat Roma (Naturally cause I'm a man united fan).

I'm not familiarized with football bets. What does 1 or 2 mean in this kinds of bets?

In a match "team A vs team B" there are three possible results:
1 (win the first team, in this case, team A)
2 (win the second team, in this case, team B)
X (a draw)
Have you understood?

BTW, I beg that Real Madrid defeats Lazio... sigh, even if I am a Lazio supporter, If Real wins I also win 127€...


P.S.: You have to see the fantastic goal that Kolarov (Def. of Lazio) scored at the last match vs Reggina!

yeah I figured it would be something like that. Anyway, this 1st day of CL was bad for my bets...
even Lyon lost 3-0 at home xD (I'm not sad at all :P)

Nice goal by Kovarov tough I dont even know the guy... Speaking of great goals by our favorite clubs: http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=JLdv2k0bz_Y

And why are you gonna win 127€ if Royal wins? How much did you bet?

 

[Ichimaru Gin n Tonic]

Hey, United won against Roma.... 1-0. What's wrong with them winning each game with a 1-0 result? I know it's Rooney's goal (finally) but they could've scored more...
And Roma wasnt all that bad either, i was scared when Esposito got that chance in the box during the last minutes...

 

[rykarreolacr]

Inter played well against a good PSV. 2-0. Inter has been improving over the last couple of weeks.

 

[Epul]

yeah man united won!!!! Man united is starting to look like a 1-0 specialist Oh yeah nice to see Inter won too. But I think my game of the day was Barca against stuggart. Messi scored again! He's on fire!!

 

[Mendes]

yeah, messi is playing brilliantly. Lazio just scored a great goal by Pandev against Royal. Its 1-1 at the break. Your 127€ are pending, Jiraya:P (I still cant believe you bet against your team... I cant do it even if I try)

---

Man I suck at bets in CL... I wont bet anymore on the group stage... its too unpredictable. Still, Porto won xDDDD last minute quaresma did it xD watta win!

Benfica lost at home against Steua... man they're sad. In bremen Hugo Almeida is doing great, after scoring twice in the last league's match, he scored against olympiakos... maybe Scolari will finally open his eyes and stop playing with Nuno Gomes... he simply sucks, I'm sick of Gomes...

Well, Jiraya, you just lost that huge bet ;P that's what you get for betting in CL... anything can happen here :P

Next week we have an Atletico Madrid vs Barcelona... who do you guys think will win?
I believe it'll be a game with over 5 goals, since we're talkin about 2 teams with world class attacking players everywhere and offensive-only mentality. A game I wont miss :P

 

[bebekhappy]

Holly...Lazio can hold Madrid on 2-2 draw, and Roma couldn't even get a goal in Trafford T_T.

That's one bloody game...at least real blood was shed after Vucinic's came in...no offense for Mu and CR7 fans, but Vucinic you did it good there . Looks like they still have that 7-1 trauma eh...many attempts yet they can't scrap even a goal, Roma's defense was OK but still risky for they still sometimes loose focus.
Spaletti made a right decision by choosing Curci instead of Doni, he has a good anticipation reminds me of previous Roma's keeper Francesco Antonioli, give him more chance and he's ready to number 1.
I agree with Ichimaru, Esposito chance was scary...but i nearly jump when De Rossi released a superb shot from distance, that's what i was hoping to be a goal.

Thank God Fergie choose Saha and not Tevez for starter, otherwise there will be another massacre.

Well...with Messi and Henry are on fire, I agree with you. At least 2-0 for Barca, but yeah Atletico's good too so it can be a 3-2 or 3-3 draw for Barca.

 

[rykarreolacr]

I believe that MU got lucky. They didn't face Roma in her best shape. They came from 2 straight draws against Fiorentina and Juventus and a big loss on Saturday against my beloved Inter (4-1).

 

[Epul]

Well, sometimes luck is just what you need in football Which makes the return fixture tastier..
Atletico madrid against Barca, I'm also expecting a lot of goals in this one....

 

[Patoz]

Ah, what an unlucky bet I did...
Celtic - Milan (I bet 2 and ended 1)
Lazio - Real (I bet 2 and ended X)
Liverpool - Marseille (I bet 1 and ended 2)
Wender Bremen - Olimpiacos Pireus (I bet 1 and ended 2)
Sigh.... but, afterall, I'm happy for the great match of the Lazio vs Real Madrid!

 

[Epul]

Just came back from watching Man utd against wigan. Man utd beat Wigan 4-0!!!! Rooney and Tevez scored one and Ronaldo scored two goals. Good to see united finally banging in the goals and united are on a six game clean sheet streak. I'm so happy right now. I would be happier if Sunderland could beat or draw arsenal tomorrow but that's a big ask.

 

[Mendes]

United had an amazing second half. They played in a very offensive 4-2-4, with Anderson and Scholes on the midfield. You guys got to see Tevez's goal... impressive :P

 

[Epul]

Yeah, and anderson in my opinion had a very good game. He played some really good passes during the game. Hopefully, Fergie would start with him more after this ^^.

 

[Mendes]

I was used to anderson's superb passes since he played in Porto last 2 years, but I was impressed by the ball recoveries he did constantly during the game. He's starting to conquer his spot in MU. I honestly thought both Nani and Anderson were going to sit in the bench for the whole season, substituting giggs and scholes as time went by. Its good to see that they are already consistent options by Sir Alex

 

[Patoz]

That's true, I think that Andersen is a great player, but Giggs (in my opinion) is even greater...

 

[Mendes]

For Barça, another day means another massacre... today's victim was Atletico Madrid-3.0 (Deco, Messi, Xavi)
Barça made of Atletico an ordinary team and owned the whole match.
Real Madrid had a tough time against Recreativo Huelva, scoring 2 goals at the last 15 minutes, by the Flying dutchman and Higuaín.

Arsenal 3 - Sunderland 2 was also a nice match. Van Persie did a great match and even scored twice. Liverpool tied with tottenham (2-2) with a goal by El Nino at the last minute. Voronin scored for L'pool and Keane scored twice for T'ham

Bayern's also on a roll with a 3-0 victory over Nurnberg. Ze roberto scored once and Toni twice
In Serie A, fiorentina drawed at home against juve. Iaquinta and Mutu are on the score. Roma and Totti continues impressive with a 3.0 victory (lots of 3.0 victories this week). Mancini scored once and El Capitano scored twice.
In Inter - Napoli, the score was set by Julio Cruz (2) and Sosa (1)
