1. Welcome back! It will be another long season, until May 2014. Can Andrew_C triumph for a consecutive season? Will two-time U2start Prediction Game champion, Bartajax, find his form again? Or will a new champion emerge?

    What is this:
    The football prediction game is a game where we predict (inter)national football games. Every week we post a few games (always in for suggestions, welcome in our general football/soccer thread) and then anyone can predict these games before the first match starts. After the weekend (usually) the results will be published.

    Rules:
    Copy the matches of this week in a reply, and append a:
    - 1 if you think this match will end in a victory for the home team.
    - 2 if you think this match will end in a victory for the away team.
    - 3 if you think the game will end in a draw.

    For instance:
    Team A - Team B - 1
    Team B - Team C - 2
