Managers, who do you want to play?

I vote that HP's teams be in separate semis, if they both happen to win then so be it, good coaching should be rewarded like that.

Actually, I think I will leave this for a couple of days. I definitely want to hear from all 3 managers on this thread before the draw takes place :) I shall set down the draw for Tuesday evening.

PNL vs Berlin so we don't get 2 Worlds teams in the GF :P

I'm happy with this as well :D. Iceland and PNL can beat whoever is put in front of them and they proved that in the groups and also past 2 weeks 8).

PNL were the 3rd favourites in their group stage, came up against the Ales in the top 16. Then Mexico in the round of 8. Got to say that's an impressive run and scalps to have 8).

Iceland were higher than expected in the pre-tournament rankings, but just kept going :). Kept a good record against Serbia going this season last round to knock out one of the faves :D.

Stoked :D :D. Just fingers crossed both don't get eliminated in the round of 4 :P.

PNL has beaten me *closely* in our last 4 encounters, so I'm getting pretty damn sick of them :P

Of Iceland and the Magic... I have no idea if they're really good, lucky like me, or both.

yeah, shame that! Took a massive effort from the Brewers :(

You're right, Berlin is more of a one man player (Daniel Talia), there is no best team

The Magic are lucky, shouldn't even be in the comp!

Gawn is outraged by this comment, what more does he have to do!
