12. POST-INTERNATIONALISATION

23 Nov:

How good is this... results out on a Sunday!

Yes, I know there is the matter of an unplayed MLS game in the Cup tie, but you know what...? It doesn't affect the result.

Looky!

(amended 24/11 with final result from New York v New Eng.)

This Cup tie was drawn after the first 5 games, but a 2-0 result from the first three penalties sees ASpeedingCar progress and Amul bow out.

WK 12	@ASpeedingCar	2	2
	@Amul82	2	0

(I will update the table one the result from New York is confirmed). 

One last Preliminary Cup tie to be played next week... A 'local Derby':

WK 13	@MattGoss_
	@Ethan_Meldrum

All the League games have also been completed as below.

R	M	HOME		AWAY	H	A	RES
12	1	Everton	v	West Ham Utd	2	1	H

This means the FMICL 'League' games scores are"

From this we see that the Belt Game was won by Hardsy in a high scoring game over BenC. Only one week with the Belt was Ben... but enough to have gloated at least

In the other featured match, Ethan drew with SeanR, meaning both players slip a little in the standings.

...AND!!! Laurence WINS a game! His first win a tennis score of 6-3 over (oddly enough) the tennis player Henry.

Everyone finally has a number in the 'W' column.

And speaking of tables...

Interesting tips here sees 2 different picks in the regular 5 games, and 2 different picks in the first three penalties (games ABC).
If we are tied up after that, the last two penalties wont split the teams, so our first Cup replay would be needed.

Good luck everyone!

Someone tweeted that this was the last International Week until 2015.
Isn't that good!

Games of note:

 - Ethan in 11th needs a win to go top 8, and if he beats Sean Ross in 7th, Sean may drop out.

 - Equal top Hardsy takes on 4th places BenC, and a win for Ben could see him into the lead.

     This is also our Belt match

(Again, for Cup action...
You have 10 games (1 to 5 and A to E) to tip. Games 1 to 5 are the main game... score more here and you win.
Games A to C are in play if the first 5 games result in a draw. Best score from these three is the winner.
If you are still tied after that, then the best from D wins.
And if that is tied, then the best from E wins.
If there is still a tie after all of that, we replay the Cup tie another week.)

Good luck tipsters.
