• Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 54 Cup Finals

    From Futbolmetrix@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jul 17 12:39:31 2023
    MLS has taken a midseason break, and the Mexican league matches are TBD. We go to the USL and Colombia instead.


    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 2023-07-19, 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/her
    teams) and before kickoff of the first match
    - Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if he/she 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.)

    Tough choice. I was leaning strongly towards Internacional, but the advanced stats suggest that they are overperforming, while Bragantino is underperforming. Also, it's Inter.

    Rowdies for me.

    Apparently they are having some MLS-LigaMX competition. There's this new kid playing for Inter Miami who looks quite promising.

    We go to the USL and Colombia instead.

    Was waiting for the result of Instituto ACC- Lanus to announce the results.

    Results:


    Final
    Jesper Lauridsen 0* - 0 Futbolmetrix (Indy Eleven 1X-Tampa Bay Rowdies 2)

    Of course we would lose the Cup final on penalties. UPT Cup sucks. (I would have won had I picked Internacional. UPT Cup *really* sucks)

    Bronze medal matches
    The Doctor 0 - 3 Jesus Petry (Sacramento Republic 2-New Mexico United 1X)
    milivella* 0 - 0 MH (Deportivo Pereira X2-Millonarios 1)

    Easy victory for Jesus. milivella's non-picking strategy pays off, and he gets of the third place spots. Bleah.


    7th place playoff
    Werner Pichler na - na Mark (Santa Fe 2-Deportivo Cali 1X)

    Deportivo - Santa Fe was apparently postponed because of heavy rain. 7th place will not be awarded this season.

    So despite going through the whole tournament without losing a single match, FC Mark don't even manage 7th place! 2 defeats on penalties, and our final match is postponed!

    Of course we would lose the Cup final on penalties. UPT Cup sucks. (I would have won had I picked Internacional. UPT Cup *really* sucks)

    Always leave your opponent enough rope to hang himself.

    UPT royalty right there.

    "The ʷᵒʳˡᵈ Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament
    in the world, as well as the most widely viewed and followed single
    sporting event in the world."

    I think I should take a page from FIGC and "randomly" start assessing 10-point penalties and 10-point bonuses to selected teams.

    Anyway, UPT returns next week with Chile and Brazilian leagues (one of them can be a temporary placeholder for NWSL if Mark wants...)
