- 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 pick the Chief Executives, the equine collective, the humble rodent,

arboretum, the UFOs, the gem preserve. In one word, I pick transcendence.

Thomas Muller, TBFSPOAT, with the winner in the 92' minute.

ATTN: BLUESHIRT
Huddersfield Town - Luton Town was postponed. Silver Skull did not
pick. You have already picked Austin FC 1. You can pick one side from
the following match:

Equatorial Guinea 1 - Liberia X2 (Monday, October 13)

If you don't pick, you will be assigned one team at random from the
above two, and your result will be the best result between your two
picks.





ATTN: JESPER and MH
Jesper Lauridsen 0 - 0 MH (Barracas Central
1X-Boca Juniors 2)

The match was postponed because of the death of Miguel Angel Russo,
Boca coach.


New choice:
Jesper Lauridsen - MH

Qatar 1 - United Arab Emirates X2 (Tue, October 14)
Estonia 1 - Moldova X2 (Tue, October 14)



Cup Quarterfinal schedule to be announced shortly, deadline will be
