Upset of the Week: Manchester United over Titans. Not a single participant predicted a ManU victory. Its a major win for the underdog.

Match of the Week: FWFC v FCD Bazan ; confirmed by the 0-0 tie

Other notable outcomes;
Solar Blue in a draw with LP Keegan; all participants predicted a Solar Blue win.

The DTS victory margin over Anoranza. Virtually every participant predicted the victor correct but no one seemed to anticipate the actual spread in point. The 8 point margin is a surprise.

Avg # Correct: 5.9 (Previous week 6.6)

Reasons for the lower average of correct predictions this week:

(1) The ManU upset over Titans
(2) Solar Blue tie with LP Keegan
(3) FCD Bazan tie with FWFC

Rocketeer was the only person to predict the exact score of the FWFC-FCD Bazan game, at 0-0. Hatrick and Kids Soccer, Right? predicted 2-2 ties.

Four accurately predicted a 1-1 tie in the DT Craft v Wizards match; getafe01, peregrino, anselansel, & cts.

What happened to the Titans? No disrespect to ManU (Looks like they played like they had us used to), but did the "2-players-practicing-somewhere-else" zaga had an impact on this game?

I do not think so, there have been no changes in that team, and as noted before the boy(s) had written permission to practice, all this was just gossip -- :) :) :) good gossip :) :) :)

Bad loss for the Titans if they want to make the top 10 at the end of the season.

Do you have a YTD total for who has the most correct predictions? Or everyone's % of correct since some have not particpated each week.

I'm too lazy to search through the other posts.

Let me see what I can scrape up. The kiddos had me running all over Dallas and Collin county tonight.
