    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 2022-05-18, 11:59 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 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

    (If the away player doesn't pick any team before his deadline, the home
    player will be represented by his preferred team. If nobody picks a
    team, teams are assigned randomly.)

    There's a problem. According to league321.com, there isn't a Nashville in MLS. I'll go for Lens in the other match, as they're my favourite French club.

    It looks as though both they and St. Etienne, with 16 titles between
    them (les vert are tied with PSG for the most at 10) are both doomed to relegation. Trying to think of a parallel situation in another league
    where two clubs of similar stature went down the same year. I don't
    think HSV and Schalke went down at the same time. Betis, Sevilla and
    Atletico Madrid went down in 2000, but the Seville teams only have one
    league title each - and both a very long time ago.

    You are insane !

    It is my club since forever.
    I never saw such a weak club.
    In French Cup, Brest won over Bordeaux 3-0 and in Ligue 1,
    Brest won 1-2 in Bordeaux.
    Bordeaux won only once in last 15 games, at home versus Metz,
    who was last at this time.

    Most of all, players already are elsewhere and do not care
    about the club which will surely disappear due to the deficit.

    No chance Bordeaux can take one point in Brest.

    I count this as an incomplete pick. Jesus, you can pick either Monaco, Nashville or Atlanta. If no pick, it's Lens - Monaco

    Congratulations to MH for his 5th overall Cup win. He now extends his lead in the count of Cups, with two more than the second placed trio. You are the Carlo Ancelotti of UPT.

    Yes. They're Argentina's most successful football club. They've won a record 7 Copa Libertadoreses, and lots of other trophies.
    And making Bordeaux your favourite French Club because Ixion supports them and not making Independiente your favourite Argentinian club because I support them...well wouldn't that be favouritism?

    Why am I playing some dross that lost last round?
    Because you were a bad winner.
    1. The kids
    2. Washington Football Team
    The Lancers (Clermont Foot)

    (which leads to the question: Ajax Amsterdam are known as "i Lancieri" in Italian, but the "Lancers" doesn't show up as one of their nicknames in any of the other wikipedia pages I looked (English, Dutch, Hebrew).
    What's up with that?

    That nickname is purely an invention by Italian journalists, based on the mythical Ajax, and the logo.
    (although IIRC wasn't he known more for his mighty shield?)

    What's gone wrong with FC Mark? In the 1st 30 years of the League's existence, we won 10 (exactly a 3rd of the) League Championships, and ended in the top 2 of exactly half the tournaments (we ended runners-up 5 times). We even won the League by accident once you know!
    And yet in the last 20 years, we've only won 2 major trophies I think! If I remember correctly, we've been winners and runners-up once each in each of the League and the Cup!
    I don't understand what's gone wrong.
