    - Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't
    picked any team, you have free choice; if she is Lassie and there is a
    tie, diregard the last vote)
    =- their opponents will represent your opponent

    Homer Simpson - milivella
    Telstar - Fortuna Sittard
    Mainz - RB Leipzig

    Let's see if the gamemaster finds a way to contest my assumption that
    Homer picks Telstar and Mainz.

    I pick Fortuna Sittard.

    May the smartest one lose!

    You did not wait for Homer to make a pick, so your picks are not
    valid. In fact, Homer is having an existential crisis and decided, for
    this week only, to become Ned
