• Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 50 Cup Semifinals

    From Futbolmetrix@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 8 15:33:17 2022
    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 2022-05-11, 11:59 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 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

    (If the away player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the home
    player will be represented by his preferred team. If nobody picks a
    team, teams are assigned randomly.)

    But think of the possibilities: you pick the underdog and then they go on to win! It would give you unlimited bragging rights...it's a win-win situation for you.

    In fact, it's such a lose-lose situation for me that I'll revert to the proper fixtures

    RR3: Futbolmetrix - milivella
    Milan 1 - Atalanta X2
    Rennes 1 - Marseille X2

    I pick:
    1. Marseille
    2. Milan

    Semifinals
    The Doctor 1 - 1 Werner Pichler (Atlético Madrid 1-Sevilla X2)

    Late equalizer by Sevilla gives Werner the chance to go for the League+Cup double.

    Jesper Lauridsen 1 - 1 Mark (Valencia X2-Espanyol 1)
    Futbolmetrix 0 - 2 milivella (Marseille X2-Rennes 1)

    Who cares about the repechage anyway.

    Final round schedule:

    -----------
    F1: Werner Pichler - MH

    3P1: The Doctor - ixion martin

    I don't disagree. However, it was not about the repechage, and you know
