Okay. Here's my predictions for the first play-off round.

Rivendell beats Valimar

Rivendell has been one of the most consistent teams in the tournament and their defence is solid as a rock. Valimar's game has not convinced me and they will lose the game.

Tol-in-Gaurhoth beats Mordor (in extra time or in a penalty shoot-out)

This will be a tough one and the Mordor team will finally test the skills of T-I-G. T-I-G has had an easy tournamet this far and they will have hard times with Mordor's brilliant and tough offence. But as it is the T-I-G it will finally go through...

Formenos beats Amon Rhud

Amon Rhûd just doesn't stand a chance here. Formenos is far superior team in every field of the game and takes an easy win if they don't come to the game too self-assuredly.

Nargothrond will be beaten by Tuna

A wise predicter would not put all his eggs to a same basket and as I have chosen a Tuna player to my squad I'd be sensible to go here for a Nargothrond victory. But I'm going for the jackpot. So it's time for the next giants to drop out of the games. Nerdanel, Miriel and Finwë will outscore Gwindor and Finrod. Plain and simple.

Gondolin beats Umbar

Umbarians have already exceeded the limits of their capabilities and have no chance against one of my favourites to win the whole tournament. Gondolin is just too tough a team for Umbar to beat.

Armenelos loses to Doriath

Another risky prediction. But Melian's girdle will hold against the waves of Numenorian attacks and Mablung & Beleg rise to the occasion. It will be tight game though and may go to extra-time or even penalties. Actually I believe it to be otherwise but who cares...

Hithlum is beaten by Mirkwood

It will not happen but I'm being consistent here and going for the surprise and the jackpot once again. Thranduil, Legolas and Scatha will outscore Turin, Hurin and Fingon. Lots of goals in this game - might go to overtime...

Angband beats Fornost

One of the easy ones here. Fornost has done well to come this far but now they meet some real teams that actually play football and their time is out.
