[Futbolmetrix]

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 2025-02-26, 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.)"

Weren't the bots banned from playing in the Cup?

They were, but setting up a Cup draw for 11 teams was way more hassle
than the annoyance of having the bots (one bot) in the Cup.

Now the only way to prove that the reason why I didn't pick this week is
*not* that I wanted to avoid The Task is... to do The Task anyway.

...

"BSG Turbine Markranstädt": in 1959-84 and 1988-90, this was the name of
the club whose license Red Bull purchased in 2009.

"Vermont": it's the US state Montpelier is the capital city of.

...

The invention of Google must have been the most radical improvement in
Jesper's social life.

May the most ignora

4/10, weak attempt. Not even a "the only way for milivella to win is not
to play"?
