• Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 57 Cup semifinals

    From Futbolmetrix@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 24 14:32:02 2024
    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 2024-03-27, 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.)

    I kind of knew that, just wanted official confirmation. By the way, why *don't* you join the game? We can then have three spiffy groups of three (or reintroduce the bots).

    Is that why FC Mark aren't winning the League any more? Are we becoming

    Someone really hates that term as has written a wikipedia article
    about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciociaria


    LOL. I mean I’ve actually been to that area, and the whole touristic
    identity of the region is tied to that term, and they even use it for their local newspaper.

    Two boring 0-0 draws, decided on PKs for the away team. Mark has the opportunity to regain the top spot in terms of total number of titles, Doc is gunning for third place in total number of cups.



    Repechage
    MH 1-1 Werner Pichler(*) (Genoa 1-Frosinone X2)
    Jesus Petry 2-0 milivella (PSG 2-Marseille 1X)

    Werner and Jesus advance to the third place match, milivella and MH will fight it out to avoid the wooden spoon.

    I didn't realise FC Mark weren't really in the Final till I looked at
    the Spanish League table today and was reminded how far above Mallorca
    Valencia are!
