3. Homer Simpson- Blueshirt
KV Kortrijk 1 - Oud-Heverlee Leuven X2
Bohemians 1905 1 - Sigma Olomouc X2
"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 2025-03-05, 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.)"

Cryptic:
Some help:
1. HRH in french ?
Basically the actual etymology of the place.
2. Slanders, we hear?
I think that one’s the toughest since it requires a fair
bit of knowledge about Belgian geography and
languages.
It also would be cool to somehow work in a
Slanders/Flanders pun, but I don’t really see how.
3. Immunize confused identical copy.
4. Disturb Lib. crone slave in Czechia.
Two anagrams, mostly.
In German, the old German name of one of those
two places is still a by-word for glass jewellery (as
they dominated the world market for such baubles at
the turn of the 19th/20th century), but I don’t know
whether an English speaker would parse that clue.
Ciao,

MH:
2. MH - milivella
Charleroi 1 - Mechelen X2
Jablonec 1 - Slovan Liberec X2
Cryptic:
1. HRH in french ?
HRH = His Royal Higness = King Charles. In French: Charle Roi.
2. Slanders, we hear?
Nickname of Mechelen: Malinois. Sounds like "maligns" (??), i.e.,
"slanders".
3. Immunize confused identical copy.
Immunize = jab. Identical copy = clone. Confused = anagrammed ->
lonec.
4. Disturb Lib. crone slave in Czechia.
Disturb = anagram. Anagram of "Lib. crone slave": Slovan Liberec.
They are a Czech club.
So they are really in the listed order! :)
Sorry, i wasn't able to pick a team. I was on vacation in the USA.
