This made me lol.

And TTN's OFF/DEF/GK edge style was a lovely touch, wish I'd done it first.

Anyway, ArdaCup.com Stats Report decided to join the prediction game (even the scores, which looks somewhat similar to TTN's--but! with some crucial differences.) And yes, I've predicted Lothlórien beating Tirion there, even though I chose Tirion to win here. I dunno if this half-heartedness would be enough to shake off my World Cup curse (having rooted for three runners-up in a row) or reality overcoming wishful thinking. Meh, it's only a point against my deeply-held principles.

(Looking at it again, that post seems too long-winded. Ah, well, there's always the terse Felagundion. )
