  • Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 55 Semifinal Round

    From Futbolmetrix@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 2 05:41:08 2023
    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 2023-09-27, 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.)


    Semifinals:
    -----------------
    Werner Pichler - The Doctor
    Burnley 1X - Chelsea 2
    Juventus 1 - Torino X2

    MH - Jesper Lauridsen
    Everton 1 - Bournemouth X2
    Cagliari 1X - Roma 2


    Repechage
    ------------------
    Mark - Jesus Petry
    Atletico Madrid 1 - Real Sociedad X2
    Vfb Stuttgart 1 - Wollfsburg X2

    Futbolmetrix - milivella
    Real Madrid 1X - Osasuna 2
    Bayern 1X - SC Freiburg 2

    No, really, I pick Real Madrid and Bayern. Those are the matches.

    A twist! I used to like twists!

    Until a couple of minutes ago.

    I think I'm actually doing you a favor: if you lose, you can always complain that you were cheated out of the chance to make the third place match.

    I would have complained anyway, and you're robbing me of the chance to
    find an inventive way to do it.

    If you win, it will be a glorious victory against all odds, something to add to the milivella-Futbolmerix rivalry pantheon.

    This actually tempts me...

    No, really, I pick Real Madrid and Bayern. Those are the matches.What did you expect, that I would change the matches to Celta Vigo-Getafe and Augsburg-Darmstadt? What's even the point of being the gamemaster if you can't rig the schedule in your favor
    for a repechage game?

    (Should I have at least offered him 1 vs X2? Naah...)

    Perhaps football can be a bit of a distraction. Even though it's insane that it took until today
    that UEFA officially cancelled Switzerland's qualifier in Tel Aviv.

    Have I missed something? What's happened? I haven't seen the news since Thursday.

    Yup, 0-3 or 1-4 were the options.

    Last Sunday's (8/10) Neustrelitz - Makkabi Berlin match was cancelled as Makkabi wasn't currently focusing on sports. On Wednesday it was announced that Makkabi Berlin was suspending playing and training, due to security concerns.
    However that turned out to be premature. On Thursday Makkabi made an offcial statement that as a "muticultural club with both Jewish and Muslim members, their continued operation is sign for tolerance and peaceful coexistence".

    And so Makkabi played in the 4th round of the Berlin cup today.

    That's a nice story. I fear there aren't that many of them going around.
