All, ND 40 is the toughest team, Drillers second, then FC Devan. And ND40 beats them all. Networkers is a skilled team, with less toughness. So is Dragon. Well, let me try this again: ND40 Pick: Drillers ND40 always wins over Drillers 4:0, 2:1; ND40 never wins with netWorkers 2:4, 3:3; ND40 ties with Dragon 3:3; Networkers Pick: ND40 (Impossible), thus -> Dragon NetWorkers always wins/ties with ND40; NetWorkers never wins over Drillers 1:1, 2:3; Networkers ties with Dragon 1:1; Drillers Pick: NetWorkers Drillers always wins/ties with NetWorkers, 1:1, 3:2; Drillers always looses to ND40 0:4, 1:2; Drillers vs Dragon ? Dragons Pick: NetWorkers (Agree with Li Huan's opinion) Dragon ties with ND40 3:3; Dragon ties with NetWorkers 1:1; Dragon vs Drillers ? Current standing, ND40 vs Dragon and Drillers vs Networkers. So who wants to change or does not want to change? 1) ND40 may want to loose next game in order to play with Drillers; Networkers intend to play win in order to play Dragons; Drillers want to win in order to play Networkers in the playoff; Dragons want to play with Networkers in the playoffs. Use current standing as a basis, we may just want to tie/loose next game. 2) However, if Networkers assumes that we can beat Drillers, they want to loose next time to secure their play with us, then we loose and we have to play with ND40. We may want win with this assumption. 3) If ND40 does not care and go ahead win the next game, we may want to win the next game in order to play with Networkers. 4) If ...... Well, I am confused already. One thing I can be sure is that Drillers really want to win next game in general. If they play too physical, we may just want to save our Zhu(3)-Li(4) for the playoffs. I guess we'll just play our game next Sunday, try to win, even though win/loose may not matter that much at all. Just my 2 cents, Go Dragons!!! -Chen, Si -----Original Message----- From: Li Huan [mailto:huan_l_99@yahoo.com] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2001 6:29 PM To: Chen, Mark; Dragon (E-mail) Subject: Re: 10th League Sunday game: 12:30pm at Highpoint E, Plano Latest standing of this division: #1 North Dallas 40 65 points #2 Net-workers 60 points #3 Drillers 54 points #4 Dragon 50 points Since Drillers beat Net-workers (3:2) yesterday, the playoff teams has already been finalized in this division. The next Sunday game will be important for these four teams to choose their playoff opponents. Now, it looks like North Dallas 40 and Net-workers will remain as #1 and #2 for the regular season since their opponents in next game do not have any motivation to fight with them. North Dallas 40 only need to tie the game (vs. United S.C.) with a couple of goals to keep the #1 spot. To us, we need to beat Drillers in next game although we believe both North Dallas 40 and Net-workers are beatable. However, personally speaking, I would like to choose Net-workers as our playoff opponent since North Dallas 40 is more physical and has a pretty good midfield, which is able to put relatively more pressure on our defense. Its defense is slow and has a lot of gaps though. The performance of our midfield will be the key factor to beat them. Net-workers has the best goalie, from my opinion, in this division and has quite solid defense. However, its midfield is not very aggressive and it has only one pretty good striker. As far as we pay enough attention to their counter-attack, we should be able to dominate the game with our new playing style. Lets keep the momentum and get into the championship game again.
