    teams) and before kickoff of the first match on Saturday 2024/11/23
    - Pick one of the teams not picked by your opponent (if they haven't

    Sure, you're welcome to join. In fact, you can join the Season 60 Cup,
    which will start immediately at the end of the of league season.

    If you do join, you will enter the league from the bottom Tier. We will
    have 11 players, which doesn't lend itself very well to three tiers.
    Therefore (assuming no additional human players) we will also welcome
    back our old friend Homer Simpson, who will also enter the league from
    Tier 3.
    This means that Tier 3 this season potentially promotes *two* teams.

    Sure, why not ? If I enter at the bottom What is the worst that can
    happen ? I can't go any lower. Plus i can't go out of business or be
    relocated. Throw me in to the mix ! - let's go.

    A lot of truth to that. Alberta has been pretty good to us for the 38
    years we lived there, but the politics and being part of a captive
    petrostate do tend to get you down after a while, especially in the last
    6 years. However, BC may end up just as bad in four years at the next election.

    Countryside São Paulo is very rich compared to the rest of the
    country. Their investment capacity, combined with a modicum of
    organization, can yield results like this. On the other hand, the
    Campinas rivals are also from countryside SP and are heading downwards
    to Séric C... so it's not *just* money.

    Mirassol and especially Novo Horizonte look like tiny
    places for Brazilian standards. Would they be the
    smallest cities ever in the top flight?

    Inter-tier match

         Gimnasia   -   Atlético Tucumán
         Paysandu   -   Vila Nova

    1. Paysandu

    If Mirasol and Novorizontino get promoted (they are close) it would be
    the first time for both in Serie A, right?  Any story behind their rise,
    Lleo or Jesus ?

    Countryside São Paulo is very rich compared to the rest of the
    country. Their investment capacity, combined with a modicum of
    organization, can yield results like this. On the other hand, the
    Campinas rivals are also from countryside SP and are heading downwards
    to Série C...

    oh wait, I just realised - both of them?


    Would that be a good trivia question - cross-town
    rivals that get relegated at the same time?

    I think both Sampdoria and Genoa went down in the
    same year once?

    Pretty sure Hibs and Hearts were once relegated the same year. Possibly
    Dundee and Dundee United, though I don't think so.
    I would not be surprised if at one point two of the lesser Moscow teams
    had gone down simultaneously.
    And I think Betis and Sevilla both went down one year.

    Yup. 2014.

    Dundee and Dundee United, though I don't think so.
    apparently not.

    I would not be surprised if at one point two of the lesser Moscow teams
    had gone down simultaneously.
    But I can't really say what the big rivalries are there. Spartak - CSKA, Spartak - Lokomotiv, CSKA-Lok perhaps. Dunno about Torpedo and Dynamo
    though.

    As for London I am pretty two rivals would have gone down at the same
    time, but I don't think two of the big three ever did.

    And I think Betis and Sevilla both went down one year.
    Had to look it up.
    Yes Sevilla and Betis both went down in 2000, along with .... Atletico
    Madrid.

    From what I can tell, there have never been cross-city rivals
    relegated in the same year. But there have been some other interesting
    seasons:

    1982-83: Roma wins the championship (first time in 40 years), Lazio is
    promoted from Serie B

    1959-60, 2005-2006, 2011-2012: Juventus wins the championship, Torino is promoted.[*]

    2002-2003: Juventus wins the championship, Torino is relegated

    2022-2023: Genoa is promoted, Sampdoria is relegated



    [*] No asterisks needed, those are the facts.

    That's fair, but Mark has also been distresses by falsely being told he
    had won. I think it would be reasonable to have him start his next match
    2-0 up, to compensate.

    Can't argue with that, what's fair is fair!
