PLATE

We had four teams with two wins, OPT, LBC, MM and NJN who all go through as top seeds. Then two teams with one win TNS and YFC. That left four teams with one point each. CN and NHL had -2 GD so it cam down to who had scored the most in the game they lost and this was CN who progress. Likewise, LD and PEX had the same GD of -2 but LD had scored more in their defeat so LD go through.

I feel your pain Simon. I have had a fair few of matches with poor results when the stats at the start would suggest otherwise. I guess that if the team you are up against has a shot chance of about 2% and they score their only chance and your team fails to score from any chances then you lose even if your shot chance is huge. Hard to accept at times but that's the game.

Take a look to the teams playing against eachother. This has nothing to do with buidling the best team or whatever. If you lose this kind of matches when you play at home with the best team you have and the other is playing with 5 players skilled 15 or lower, something is wrong with the software.

It is happening a little bit to much for me lately, I am very dissapointed I have to say, and I know it happens that better teams do not win, but this match it is everything together that blows my mind.

Happy mothersday to all of you.
