This is our Pick 'em Thread. Pick the following.
  • score
  • the goalscorers, in order
  • the POTM (Pigeon of the Match)
The contestant picking the correct result (win, lose, draw) and coming closest to the actual score wins a Mug of Ale from me should we ever meet and his/her name permanently enshrined in the Hall of Victory!

Good Luck!

Tiebreakers, in order...
(1) correct result (win, lose, draw)*
(2) closest to the actual score
(3) correctly naming the most goalscorers
(4) correct goalscoring order (by team)
* - a player cannot win by picking a win if the result is a loss (and vice versa)

Gotham Gator Gotham Gator clarification please?
You don't mention shootouts in the instructions. Are they irrelevant even as a tiebreaker?
Good point. Need to consider this one.

How about a rule that all score predictions are measured against the end of regulation (plus extra time, if applicable). If the game is tied and goes to penalties, the first tiebreaker is correctly guessing the winner in penalties. Then, we go through our usual tiebreakers.

That's fine with me. In fact any non-bizarro rules you choose are fine with me. I just figure it's better to set them in advance.
 
My feeling is the match is going to be a snoozefest. So, with that guarantee being made the obvious winning prediction will be:

NYCFC: 4
Atlas: 3

Atlas: 3 guys, because I don't know who's on their roster.
NYCFC: 4 guys, because I don't know who's on their roster.
