• Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 56 Cup Final

    From Futbolmetrix@21:1/5 to All on Sun Jan 21 22:59:47 2024
    Might as well post the matches now, people can start doing their research. Watch out for the new deadlines.

    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 Thursday 2024-01-24, 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.)


    Final:
    milivella/MH - The Doctor/Mark
    Milan 1 - Bologna X2
    Sevilla 1 - Osasuna X2


    Third-place matches:
    MH/milivella - Werner Pichler
    Genoa 1 - Lecce X2
    Cadiz 1X - Athletic Club 2

    Mark/The Doctor - Jesus Petry
    Montpellier 1X - LOSC Lille 2

    Is this payback? It feels like payback.

    Payback, moi?

    Anyway, it's Olarticoechea and Burruchaga versus Schumacher and Klaus Allofs. Now you only have to figure out who was not employed by Nantes and Koeln at the time of the 1986 final...

    Not exactly a high scoring round...anyway, congrats to MH for his 6th Cup win. He now stands alone on top of the Cup standings. I avoid once again the wooden spoon.

    Season 57 organizational thread coming soon.
