• Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 65 Cup Semifinals + Repechage

    From Futbolmetrix@futbolmetrix@yahoo.com to rec.sport.soccer on Mon Apr 20 07:59:56 2026
    From Newsgroup: rec.sport.soccer

    6 out of the top 7 or 8 leagues based on TransferMarkt value!


    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 2026-04-22, 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.)

    These are probably the two most balanced matches the gamemaster has
    ever picked. Pure coincidence that they happen to be for a match in
    which the gamemaster is the away team...(no, really, it is a pure
    coincidence! A truly biased gamemaster would have saved those matches
    for a clash with milivella!)

    Paris vaut bien une messe,
    I guess

    A repeat of the 2000 Club World Cup Final. I'll pick Vasco; they seem
    to be in better form currently. And NEC Nijmegen.

    Hey that's quite unusual isn't it?, for me to go for both away teams or
    both the 'underdogs'.

    Unfortunately, Futbolmetrix kept me away from picking (true story). Not
    that I had a chance, but I don't like not picking! Sorry for not showing
    up in time.

    NAC Breda vs. Ajax has already been played, and of course you won. Congratulations!

    Moi? What did I do? I deny everything, even though I'll just say that
    if I made you lose it was good and just and well-planned.

    Semifinals
    Homer Simpson 2-1 Lloo (Valencia 1-Girona X2)
    Werner Pichler 1-0 Futbolmetrix (Lille 2-Paris FC 1X)

    Lille's win prevents the Homer-Futbolmetrix final, which could have
    raised suspicions of bias in some quarters...

    Jesus Petry 1-2 The Doctor (1. FC K%ln 1X-Bayer Leverkusen 2) Blueshirt(*) 0-0 Jesper Lauridsen (Sassuolo X2-Fiorentina 1)

    Jesper doesn't take advantage of the free pick, contrary to MH and
    Mark. milivella will finish last.

    Semifinals matches and schedule to follow.

    You wouldn't have asked someone else to pick the matches?! :O
