Dolphins are actually jerks, and electricity is a good thing. That's as far as my research went for this.
No wait, does it make sense that the Dolphins hail from Manta? Shouldn't they be Rays?

I'm going for the Specialized High Performance Club, aka The Champions of Ecuador, aka Independiente del Valle. They play in a hideous black and blue striped jersey (despite having a crest with beautiful black and white stripes), and their owner seems to be some Berlusconi wannabe, but I'll close a blind eye this time.

Lassie likes bananas and bananamen, but the zoological affinity rule says that she should go for the Lions. My vote is for Cumbaya`.

Independiente del Valle had more than 60% possession and outshot Emelec 15 to 4, but the Electricians scored on a dodgy penalty and won 1-0. UPT sucks.
Macara` - Orense is played tomorrow. I will post the full MD1 results after it is complete.

Actually, it's:

1. goal difference
2. goals scored

3. Number of picks <--- (note that there is a "Picks" column in the tables I post)

4. random draw (alphabetical order for the purposes of presenting the tables)

As milivella didn't pick, he was below MH.

Having said that, I like Mark's proposal. Maybe for once I will accept one of his proposed changes!
