• Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 54 Cup Semifinals and Repechage

    From Futbolmetrix@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jul 9 21:06:49 2023
    What to do
    -----------

    Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away? In any case:
    remember that it's single-leg, and a draw qualifies the team with the X
    on its side.

    *Home*
    - Before Wednesday 2023-04-019, 23:59 GMT
    - Pick one team from each of the two matches.

    *Away*
    - After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked his
    teams) and before kickoff of the first match
    - Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if he hasn't picked
    any team, you have free choice)
    - Their opponents will represent your opponent

    *ATTENTION: NEW RULE*: If the away player doesn't pick any team before his/her deadline, the home player will be represented by the team that achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked teams.
    If the home player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the away player can pick two teams (one from each match), and he/she will be represented by the team that achieves the best outcome out of his/her two picked teams. If nobody picks a team,
    teams are assigned randomly.)

    It is, but colorado can be used for red too. And it works in Portuguese as well. For example, the person you're facing in this cup tie
    is a colorado supporter (or "torcedor colorado", as Inter fans are known in Brasil).

    Or maybe milivella was aware of that, and decided to play mind games to make me wary of picking.

    Anyway, Andre-Pierre Gignac and Tigres delivered the goods in a tight 1-0 win, now I can sit back and relax, and maybe even cheer for Cuiaba in the afternoon game! UPT Cup Final, here we come!

    ...ooopss... wrong result there. Fortaleza was indeed my first pick, and it turned out to be wrong, but unfortunately for milivella (insert Djokovic crocodile tears gif here), by the new rules, the UPT match was the one with the most favorable outcome
    for me (more Djokovic tears...) Correct results:

    Jesper Lauridsen 3 - 0 The Doctor (Club America 1-Puebla X2)
    milivella 0 - 1 Futbolmetrix (León X2-Tigres UANL 1)

    So it looks like the final will be between someone who thinks that the Cup is the be all and end all of UPT skill, versus Benfica/Juventus. Why are we even playing it?

    UPT league champ *and* UPT league runner-up left to fight for the Cup wooden spoon. And then they say that the Cup is the best measure of skill...

    ...ooopss... wrong result there. Fortaleza was indeed my first pick, and
    it turned out to be wrong, but unfortunately for milivella (insert
    Djokovic crocodile tears gif here), by the new rules, the UPT match was
    the one with the most favorable outcome for me (more Djokovic tears...) >Correct results:

    Jesper Lauridsen 3 - 0 The Doctor (Club America 1-Puebla X2)
    milivella 0 - 1 Futbolmetrix (León X2-Tigres UANL 1)

    So it looks like the final will be between someone who thinks that the
    Cup is the be all and end all of UPT skill, versus Benfica/Juventus. Why
    are we even playing it?
