    Yay! Teams I've heard of. I'm not sure if I'd heard of Hapoel Jerusalem before, but I've heard of the other 3 though.
    Having started looking at the League tables, I've now realized I'm playing away, I might as well make my picks now though and just pretend I was playing mind games or something.
    1 Fenerbahce
    2 Beitar Jerusalem
    (Futbolmetrix will probably just forget to pick again anyway) :-)

    Yay! Teams I've heard of. I'm not sure if I'd heard of Hapoel Jerusalem before, but I've heard of the other 3 though.
    Hapoel Jerusalem was formerly Hapoel Katamon, which splintered from the old Hapoel Jerusalem in the 2000s, when a group of fans decided they had enough of the mismanagement of the team and created a new entity, completely fan-owned. They were relatively successful at rekindling interest in football among the "red" fans in town (all 25 of them). They started at the bottom of the Israeli pyramid, climbing all the way up to Liga Leumit (the second tier of Israeli football). A couple of years ago, Hapoel Jerusalem went under, so Hapoel Katamon bought the original name and were finally promoted to Ligat Ha-al
    The old Hapoel Jerusalem had a period of relative glory in the 60s and 70s, winning one State Cup in the early 1970s, but since the rise of the Likud in Israeli society, they have played second-fiddle to Beitar.
    In the early 2000s I once took Futbolmetrix Jr. to watch a few Hapoel matches (this was the old corrupt Hapoel, at the time they were fighting for promotion to the top league). When I told about this to a Beitarist friend of mine, his reaction was that he would immediately call social services to report me for child abuse.
    Having started looking at the League tables, I've now realized I'm playing away, I might as well make my picks now though and just pretend I was playing mind games or something.

    1 Fenerbahce

    It looks as if indeed I did forget. Anyway, my picks are:
    1. Hapoel
    2. Besiktas
    So go ahead, pick between Fener and Beitar

    Derbies!

    What to do
    -----------

    If you don't play in Tier 3, you can also cast your vote for Lassie's pick!

    Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away?

    *Home*
    - Before the end of Wednesday (= before 2021-12-15, 23:59 GMT)
    =- Pick one team from each of the two matches, in order of preference

    *Away*
    =- After the beginning of Thursday, (or even sooner, if the home player has picked their teams) and before kickoff of the first match on Saturday, 2021-12-18
    - Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't picked any team, you have free choice; if she is Lassie and there is a tie, diregard the last vote)
    =- their opponents will represent your opponent

    If you don't play in Tier 3, you can also cast your vote for Lassie's

    Look at the fixtures below: do you play home or away?

    =- Pick one team from each of the two matches, in order of preference

    *Away*

    player has picked their teams) and before kickoff of the first match
    on Saturday, 2021-12-18

    Or perhaps the Israeli matches were picked from the weekend of December 25th/26th, in which case the matches are fine, just the timing a little
    off for the Israeli ones.

    Indeed. While the rest of the footballing world concentrates its matches in a short window during the Christmas period (omicron permitting), UPT does things differently.

    Beautiful winter day here, but a bit brisk at -25.

    You're right, adding "GMT" was wrong and head-scratching! :)

    Unsophisticated Prediction Tiers Season 49 - League (TUR/ISR) Matchday 4 (2021-12-18 and 2021-12-19)
    And so we come to the end of the long, drawn-out MD4 in Season 49. And there was quite some drama, and an interesting legal twist. The Jerusalem derby was the Match of the Day in Ligat Ha'Al, moved to Sunday evening prime-time TV. Great atmosphere (in the end I couldn't go), a level of football that you could expect from these two teams. Former Juve prospect Richmond Boakye put Beitar ahead at the stroke of half-time. Hapoel tried to fight back, without creating much in terms of goal threat, and it was Beitar that came closer to making it 2-0. Then, the critical event in the match: in the 81st minute, Hapoel coach Ziv Arieh sends in young Ghanaian Cletus Nombil in for Guy Hadida. Interesting attacking move...the only problem with it is that Nombil is the sixth foreign player on the pitch, in violation of the Israeli FA rule that only 5 foreigners are allowed on the pitch at any moment. The TV commentators immediately realize the mistake, and soon after the Hapoel bench, but not the players on the pitch and most of the crowd. In the 91st minute, Ondrej Baco scores the dramatic equalizer for Hapoel, and rightfully celebrates together with the ecstatic red crowd in the stands. But soon after everybody becomes aware of the mess-up, and it's the Beitar players celebrating for what will become a technical 3-0 win.
    However, the match on the field ended 1-1, and that's the score that counts for UPT purposes (would we ever have found out about this without the local knowledge?). Anyway, it only matters for determining the wooden spoon between Homer and Lassie.

    MD6 results and standings:
    Tier 1

    2 4 3 8 -5 3 Futbolmetrix Werner, with a perfect record, has all but sewn up another UPT title. Still very tight at the bottom.
