York and San Jose

Not very balanced matches based on current standings, but Doc picked the lower-ranked team in both. Hmmm...this is probably a trap.

LAFC

I tried to reply twice via Nova on mobile, but it didn't work.

A lot of effort to make a losing pick, but it's the nature of the beast.

I wonder who picked them.

Yeas, corrupt gamemaster picking unbalanced matches when he's playing away
from home...

Well you've got to make it look as if you're not evil haven't you?
You're obviously hoping that next time you pick unbalanced matches,
when you are playing at home, we'll remember this time and think
nothing of it aren't you?

(2024/5/4-5)

Results and standings:

Tier 1
----
The Doctor 3-1 Futbolmetrix (San Jose Earthquakes - LAFC)
Jesus Petry 2-2 MH (Philadelphia Union - DC United)


Pts M GF GA GD Picks Team
6 2 6 2 4 2 The Doctor
1 2 3 5 -2 2 MH
0 2 1 5 -4 2 Futbolmetrix

Quickie comment: this three-team per tier system sucks. Also, how am I in a tier with two Canadians when we're playing the Canadian Premier League?


Tier 2
----
Werner Pichler 3-1 milivella (San Jose Earthquakes - LAFC)


Pts M GF GA GD Picks Team
4 2 3 1 2 1 Werner Pichler
3 2 3 3 0 2 milivella
1 1 0 0 0 1 Mark


OK, maybe the system is not that bad after all.


Tier 3
----
Blueshirt 2-2 Jesper Lauridsen (DC United - Philadelphia Union)
Jesus Petry 2-2 MH (Philadelphia Union - DC United)


Pts M GF GA GD Picks Team
4 2 4 2 2 2 Jesper Lauridsen
1 1 2 2 0 1 Blueshirt
1 2 2 4 -2 2 Jesus Petry


Solid start for Blueshirt, gets his first ever UPT points with a home
draw.

STOP EVERYTHING!!! I picked LAFC and Pacific, and the latter won 2-0!

REFEREE!!!!!

oh, bugger...who ever made this stupid rule that you get to have the best results of the two picks?

OK, OK...since I am a fair gamemaster, I will fix the tables...at some point. You didn't think I would give you the satisfaction of admiring your name at the top of the Tier 2 standings for more than strictly necessary, did you
?
