• Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 61 Cup Semifinals

    From Futbolmetrix@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 16 12:44:08 2025
    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 2025-03-19, 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.)

    --------------------

    We're all MLS, all of the time (I was thinking of having a straight up
    "who wins the tie" for the UEFA Nations League clashes, but some of the matchups were too unbalanced...)

    Cloudy like the Milky Way! LA Galaxy.

    2. Takes its name from a railroad company.

    We're spoiled for choice here: Cincinnati Southern Railway! Cincinnati
    and Richmond Railroad! Cincinnati Indianapolis and Western Railroad! Cincinnati Eastern Railroad!

    3. Lass who likes to play with sharp objects?

    Atalanta, who speared the Calydonian boar!

    4. Bunch of farmers who served their country and then went back to

    Easy: the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment. Great reference
    to the Civil War!

    Thanks for these lessons in astronomy, mythology and history!!! I've
    learned so much!!!!!

    As that dude once said, why be cryptic when you can be ambiguous...

    I pick the Red.*s

    Orlando City 1 - DC United X2

    I pick the one with the foreign center-forward who, when World
    Cup 2018 was played, was not there, despite being optimally
    aged 27 and being in the circuit of a national team that was
    at the WC.

    (why being cryptic when you can be ambiguous?)

    .

    ..

    ...

    OK, I guess I have to pick, don't I? Let's do some
    vibe-picking: - Everybody knows that Toronto is poor man's
    NYC. I am poor, so I pick Toronto.
    - "Orlando" is an anagram of "Ronaldo", the name with the
    higest success rate in the history of football. The law of
    large numbers is a thing, so that set of letters is due for a
    loss, so I pick DC United. ("Gambler's fallacy", you cry? Yes,
    it is an anagram of "scary FL ballgame". Thanks for confirming
    I shouldn't pick Orlando!)

    May the player with the nine-letter handle win!

    NY Red Bulls

    a harbour’s terra firma

    Not "canonized Pasteur or Armstrong" ?

    How about "Ninth of his name" or "Twice a crusader?"


    You know maybe I just didn’t want to pick Holy Gold Coin.


    Ciao,

    Why didnt't you want to pick Icelandic Letter of Understaning Street?

    I think I get a harbour’s terra firma. I don't get any of the rest of
    these though. Oh actually I think I've just got canonized Pasteur or
    Armstrong too. Did they both share the name Louis?
