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 2024-01-17, 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.)

Semifinals

Ankaragücü are the ones where the owner recently punched the referee to the ground, aren't they.
So I'd rather go with the Eel Farmers.

Winterthur. Neither option is good but at least they have won their last
two.

It will be played on Tuesday?! It's all an evil plot of the gamemaster
to get me consumed by anxiety!

(Guys, I have to find something band he's doing. I can't believe he just
got... nice.)

In the repechage round, wins for Werner and Jesus, who advance to the third place matches. Jesper and I will battle it out with a trivia-fest to avoid the wooden spoon.

Yes, annoying. Even though this surely won't be an impediment to the unstoppable march of MVUPTFC to the league and cup double.

The other semifinal (Doctor-Mark), will also be played on Tuesday (Yverdon Sport - Luzern). So we will have a short turnaround, stay tuned.

Semifinal results

Semifinals
milivella 3-3 MH * (Servette 2-Winterthur 1X)
The Doctor 2-1 Mark (Yverdon-Sport 1X-FC Luzern 2)

In a shocking upset, Winterthur scores two goals in the last ten minutes to save one point and send MH to the Cup final!!! The all-powerful MVUPTFC will have to settle for the third place match. The greatest UPT upset of all time?

In the final, MH will meet The Doc in an all-Canadian derby.

Repechage
Jesper Lauridsen 0-1 Jesus Petry (Twente 2-NEC Nijmegen 1X)
Futbolmetrix 1-1 Werner Pichler* (Heracles 1-Volendam X2)

As already announced, Jesus and Werner advance to the bronze-medal matches, Jesper and I will face off to avoid the wooden spoon.

Kudos to MH for the comeback.

Michael would be the underdog in a match against me only if it was a
"who's more stupid" match...

Let me relieve of this psychological burden. It was not you that gave me
the awakening, I realized it by myself. You can now feel well again!

In other times I might have reacted differently to this sequence of events, but I am now a fair and unbiased gamemaster...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

You were leading 3-1 in the 81st minute against lowly Winthertur, only to see the lead evaporate with two late goals! And then you come on RSS to mistakenly gloat about your narrow escape qualification!

Pure poetry. Epic. More of these days! Where can I buy a Winterthur FC jersey?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
