We have a triple winner of Week 9, with dccal, Steven Streff, and dhresko2 all scoring 23 points. Congratulations! As a prize, you each get to take home a talking Jesse Marsch doll. Pull the string in his back and you'll hear some of his most famous quotes following an embarrassing loss, such as "Trust in the system, guys, the system works," or "This is all on me tonight," or "At this point in the season, to not understand what big games are like, it's disappointing from us." Batteries are not included.
The past few weeks of the Match Prediction game have been pretty busy, and Week 10 is no exception. There are a dozen games, so try not to miss the Wednesday or Friday night games. Be a good sport and remind your friends.
Lastly, the Match Prediction Game is going on a one week hiatus after this weekend. I'll be travelling to some remote areas next week and it is highly unlikely I will have access to internet or a computer. The MPG will resume for Week 12, so treat Week 11 as a bye week. Rest your weary brains and enjoy the soccer.
