    Is that Cape Verde and Norway?

    The trouble with national team tournaments is they've played far fewer games in the group, so the League table isn't such a reliable indicator of how good the teams are, so that makes them harder to predict.

    I'll go for Burkina Faso.

    I think you have to pick one team only:
    "Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't
    picked any team, you have free choice)"

    We should introduce a new rule: "if the home player forgets to make a pick, the away player can pick two teams, and the outcome of the UPT match will be the best of the two outcomes from the perspective of the away player. The "best" outcome will be
    determined by points, goal difference, and goals scored, in this order. In case of identical outcome in the two matches, the UPT match will be determined by the away player's first listed team."

    And of course we should do the same for non-picking away players.

    I really like this rule, I think I am going to make it effective immediately!

    Just in case you weren't joking about the new rule, even though I'm pretty sure you were. BTW I think Comoros are playing away.

    I think you have to pick one team only:
    "Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't
    picked any team, you have free choice)"

    We should introduce a new rule: "if the home player forgets to make a pick, the away player can pick two teams, and the outcome of the UPT match will be the best of the two outcomes from the perspective of the away player. The "best" outcome will be
    determined by points, goal difference, and goals scored, in this order. In case of identical outcome in the two matches, the UPT match will be determined by the away player's first listed team."

    Well at least both teams I picked won. Though it looks like you got the
    home team mixed up in the African match. The GD is the same for both as
    well.


    And of course we should do the same for non-picking away players.

    I really like this rule, I think I am going to make it effective immediately!

    That would be meaner than necessary. Maybe for the next season ?

    That's too bad. It would have been nice to tease milivella a bit more...

    Yeah, sorry about that.

    That was just a very good idea to incentivize players to pick, there were no ulterior motives!

    OK, OK, we'll implement this rule starting next season.

    So I picked 4 teams last week, including picking Norway by conciously deciding not to pick Scotland, and 3 of the 4 lost! Fortunately it was the 1 I got right that counted.

    BTW I noticed Jesus didn't pick. Did me picking "for him" confuse him?
