You mean videoing the matches makes upsets more likely?!
That would explain rather a lot!

The longer the matches the less likely a major upset would be. Taking Gondor vs. Bree for example, Bree scored the only goal and didn't have to hang on for long had it been a 10 minute a half match I daresay we'd see Gondor win by a big margin. When I was experimenting with the vidoes, the Valimar vs. Mirkwood match went 4-1 in Valimar's favor with 10 minutes a half but that was a 60mb match so I had to cut down on time to record videos.

While I enjoy upsets, I would be in favour of re-doing the matches, in order that the "lifelike" nature of the competition is maintained.
It seems rather unfair that major contenders should go out as a result of the shortening of the matches, particularly if you are to revert to the original format for the remainder of the second round matches. Although it would, of course, give the Barrow-Downs team an advantage ...

Me, too, prefer results that reflect the true performance of the teams. If we have to sacrifice the videos, so be it (downloading my first right now).
And Saucy: Great song! I don't know the original, but your lyric is great!

For those who don't know the original song:
Three lions lyrics It was the England Football Team anthem for the 1996 European Championships, and has become somewhat of a standard among fans. It is also a great song.

Welcome to another day of football...
and I'm your host, Sleepy Wan-Rangeobi. We have quite an exciting line up of matches for you today but first we have some important announcements to make.
-The young Barrow-Downs striker, Sleepy Ranger will miss the next match due to an injury sustained during a practice session. -Shire's star player, Pippin Took has been getting into hot water with team's management and new captain, Gandalf. As a result the team has suffered a significant drop in morale. -A decision that shocked the entire football world, Bree's captain, Barliman Butterbur has decided to retire from every stage of the game. Despite being cleared for play for their upcoming game against Gondor, Butterbur stated that age has finally caught up with him and he plans to take a behind the scenes job. He also said that their current run of luck wouldn't last forever and a win against Gondor was highly doubtful. Thats all the news for now, football fans. Today will be the beginning of the knockout stages, which will start at 4pm EST. Please tune in next time for more updates on the World Cup.
