  • Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 56 Match Day 2

    From Futbolmetrix@21:1/5 to All on Sun Nov 26 14:46:35 2023
    Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 56 - League CHI/BRA Match Day 3 (2023/12/2-3)

    What to do
    -----------

    Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away?

    *Home*
    - Before Thursday (= before 2023/11/29, 23:59 GMT)
    =- Pick one team from each of the two matches, in order of preference

    *Away*
    =- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked their teams) and before kickoff of the first match on Saturday 2023/12/2
    - Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven'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.

    Quoting it all in case it didn't appear in someone's newsreader.

    Speaking of which... not posting the table with me on top is one thing, but posting the new matchday in such a way that I can't see it?! Futbolmetrix, you're almost becoming... too evil!

    Anyway:
    - I don't know, I guess PEC Zwolle
    - Blackburn Rovers (sorry Arctic Monkeys, but SW are just too bad right now)

    I have just one tip for you, Werner: you come at the king, you best not miss.

    I'm waiting for the Heracles versus Ajax clash. That will put to rest all the "who is the greatest superhero, Batman or Superman?" debates.

    (so, what is it with Dutch teams and their fondness for Greek-inspired names?)

    And it came in the KNVB Beker, and was quite eventful. Heracles went up 2-0, Ajax pulled even with two goals in the last 10 minutes, and then this happened:

    So that settles it: Heracles > Ajax

    To be sure, that isn't Heracles Almelo, who play in the Eredivisie, but USV Hercules from Utrecht, who are a fourth-division team.

    So, Roman demigods > Greek heroes


    Jesus, Ajax's season has been an unmitigated disaster, hasn't it.

    They have sorta been able to get things back on track, no? 5th place in the Eredivisie, and through to the Conference League (their EL group was quite a difficult one)
