Pre-match Warm-up:
Quick round-up of the SG teams and how I think we'll get on
Cus I'm bored
La Citta di Chelmsford - Grutle BF
Eng Prem vs Norway Div1
Ranks: 93 - 229
Quick look at the visitor's team reveals no major stars, just a 7-ball goalie at a guess. They play a wierd "4-3-3" with one wide forward but the other two narrower. Obviously plays use wings, but I'll stop now since obviously chris has done his homework here
Prediction: 2-0
Valle Vista AFC - Tottenham hotspur
US Div2 vs US Div3
Ranks: 108 - 367
We know VV has a great team, but TH have a few good players, a good belgian midfielder for one. And they had a convincing 6-1 win in the last round and they're currently top of their league. Could be close, but I see there's no stopping SG so far.
Prediction: 3-1
Surreal Madrid C.F. - FC Rocker
Eng Div4 vs Canada Div3
Ranks: 500 (on the nose) - 66
Yep, I just noticed we all have home ties
.
They have one very scary attacker in Dale Hightower, who's better than all my strikers. However, the rest of the team doesn't seem great. Weak fullbacks particularly. I think I might be able to win the midfield battle too. But it's gonna be bloody close, they must be that high ranked for a reason
Prediction: er .... sods law says I'm not gonna say anything
[Sorry if I missed an odd Aussie or something]
