PNL has beaten me *closely* in our last 4 encounters, so I'm getting pretty damn sick of them :P

Of Iceland and the Magic... I have no idea if they're really good, lucky like me, or both.
The Magic are lucky, shouldn't even be in the comp!
Spite detected?  :P

Just like Carlton shouldn't have been in the 2013 Finals Series, hey?  ;)
Kissed on the flowering pecker.

I miss the old Torp. Clueless and inactive Torp. cbf and passive Torp. Not try hard and lame Torp.

The Torp who donated Shiel to Liverpool and gave Adams to Hebden Bridge for crumbs?

He's still here.

I should never have traded him out. :(

Isn't this the round where PNL got eliminated last year?

I will do 3 list randomisations. The first will give us the first team in SF1, the second the first team in SF2, the 3rd the second team in SF1 and the leftover team is in SF2.

So, here goes nothing.... :)

PowerBug

Semi Final 1: Iceland Polar Bears (Manager: Hellopplz) vs TBA
Semi Final 2: TBA vs TBA

PowerBug

Semi Final 1: Iceland Polar Bears (Manager: Hellopplz) vs TBA
Semi Final 2: PNL Reindeers (Manager: Hellopplz & Dazburg) vs TBA


Well, there we go, PNL find themselves in the other Semi to Iceland. An all HP Grand Final is possible!!

PowerBug

Semi Final 1: Iceland Polar Bears (Manager: Hellopplz) vs Berlin Brewers (Manager: Purple 77)
Semi Final 2: PNL Reindeers (Manager: Hellopplz & Dazburg) vs Manchester Magic (Manager: Torpedo10)

There it is! An all Worlds matchup is possible, an all-HP matchup is possible, a non-HP matchup is also possible!

DazBurg


Purple 77

Being sick of PNL and all, I'll take Iceland.

In my head, they're a spud team. Can anyone confirm? :P

I like that in all of them, I am involved somehow even if it's a non-HP matchup ;D.

Well we've won a Euros Premiers trophy, so more than Berlin have over in Worlds :P. Basically we have a team that can go well if our lower end guys have a cracker, otherwise can be quite ordinary. Pretty much same as Berlin without the heavy reliance on our midfield/Gawn and a heck of alot more firepower up forward :P.

PNL look very strong, it will be a massive challenge.

Hopefully the Reindeers get tired pulling two sleighs this weekend.  ;)

Hellopplz

We're carrying both our team and yours to a high scoring match :P.

Can't take anything for granted as so easy to get knocked out in a bad week! Caused some upsets with Iceland/PNL, but can easily happen to us if we're caught napping.
