Enedwaith . . . standings and some statistics after Round 1:

Clearly, the biggest disappointments this round are:

Angband's tie with Annúminas
Angband's unnamed Balrogs better improve their playing. Not to take anything from the Dúnedain of Arnor--they played superbly--, but you expect Ainur to play better than that.
Lothlórien's dismal showing against Osgiliath.
Does anyone there besides Galadriel deserve to be playing football? Their attacking was dismal and their defence was so-so. At the rate they're playing now they'll be the doormat of their group, Umbar at least managed to score a goal against group favourite Nargothrond.

Michel Delving's game against Rómena was also a bit of a disappointment, but I have to admit, Rómena's defence is more solid than I thought.

And better luck next time, Swans. I guess the Hobbits still have to get used to playing with the Deathless.

Round 2 predictions will come later.
