Chilean League is apparently on a break, but the NWSL is back.

Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 55 - League CHI/BRA Match Day 2 (2023/8/19-20)

What to do
-----------

Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away?

*Home*
- Before Thursday (= before 2023/8/16, 23:59 GMT)
=- Pick one team from each of the two matches, in order of preference

*Away*
=- After Wednesday (or even sooner, if the home player has picked their teams) and before kickoff of the first match on Saturday 2023/8/19
- Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven'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.

So the break was for the World Cup? Somehow they knew that USA weren't going to get to the semi-final.

Why aren't there any matches in Chile this weekend? That seems strange.

I'll go for RB Bragantino and Gotham

I understand that facing a triple champion can be terrifying for someone
who has never won the league, but you have to be brave!

Not the kind of picks I came to RSS for. Anyway, given that Palmeiras
have too many FS players not picked by me and that hip Houston is
marginally better than bureaucratic Washington, I pick the Dash.

Can't go against Batman (or Batgirl?).
Braga.

Tchau!

What a coincidence that earlier today, just I came out of the apartment
where I'm residing in Tours, I saw this:

(I was going to _Angers_ to boot.)

Well, it could be a fan of Jesper Lauridsen FC in UPT, but if it is they can't spell.

MD 2 results and standings:

Tier 1
----
Mark 1 - 2 Werner Pichler (Gotham FC - San Diego Wave)
Jesper Lauridsen 1 - 1 milivella (Washington Spirit - Houston Dash)

Batgirl should come of her batcave and take care of things. Also, bureaucracy stifles hipness and it all ends in a draw.


Pts M GF GA GD Picks Team
6 2 3 1 2 2 Werner Pichler
4 2 2 1 1 2 milivella
1 2 1 2 -1 2 Jesper Lauridsen
0 2 1 3 -2 2 Mark

No changes in the top two places, while Jesper makes it out of the relegation zone.

Tier 2
----
MH 4 - 0 Jesus Petry (Bahia - Bragantino)
Futbolmetrix 1 - 1 The Doctor (Washington Spirit - Houston Dash)

That Red Bull was quite flat.

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

MH maintains top spot, padding up hi GD along the way.

MD3 schedule to be posted soon
