Default Re: 2023–24 FA Cup

The semifinals were played over the weekend. Deadpocketss made a last-minute switch to his picks, swapping out Manchester United with Coventry City. It almost paid off, as it took a controversial VAR decision and penalty kicks for the Red Devils to knock out Coventry, 3-3 (4-2). Manchester City defeated Chelsea, 1-0, in the other semifinal, setting up a derby rematch of last year's FA Cup final.

Here is how everyone did:

king qaz59665
Deadpocketss55661
juleandor53659
hockeyD13 (Ozark)57057

The final is on May 25 at 9 AM. It's worth 8 points, and its a Manchester derby between United and City. The tiebreaker is total goals scored by both teams, including any extra time but excluding any penalty shootout. Deadpocketss' pick for Man City in his first semifinal post will be recognized unless changed, and since he also can't tie with anyone he doesn't really have to submit a tiebreaker amendment.

I'm taking whoever Firkinvald doesn't pick and 3 goals (though I can't tie with anyone).

Good luck!
