- Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't picked any team, you have free choice; if she is Lassie and there is a tie, diregard the last vote)
=- 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),

I'll go Lassie and pick The Terriers & Fortuna (because good dogs are lucky).

I guess Huddersfield v Bristol City it is, then.

Isn't this contradictory? I.e., if you expect the highest amount of
points from Sittard, don't you automatically expect the fewest from
Waalkijk (so you should put the latter as least favorite team)? Honest
question.

Watford 1-1 Southampton
56' 0-1 C. Adams
90' 1-1 R. Healey

90' away draw against the GOAT. Not bad.

....While the whole world was celebrating the hero who had just saved mankind, President Biden took him aside and asked him the question who was burning in his mind: "milivella, tell me... I wonder how did you expect _that_. You are perpetually at a superhuman level of alertness. How did you learn this preternatural art?"

"Well, Joe, you better sit down. It's a long story..."
