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)

5-3 NYC

martinez x 2, santi, parks, martins
suarez x 2, someone else in pink
 
I will be pretty fucking disappointed if 45K New Yorkers show up and 2/3 root against their home team, but judging from the number of pink jerseys I see around town, maybe I shouldn’t expect anything else.
My guess is most will want to see Messi score and will be maybe indifferent as to who wins.

Yeah...another Villa 3 - BWP 2 result would be best for the fans and club with Villa now being Martinez and BWP being Messi.

But yeah, every time Messi touches the ball, it will be a roar. Expect it to be an away match in terms of fandom. Who knows who will even be in the supporters' section? I remember during MLS Cup in Portland, The Timbers Army section isn't what it normally is because people didn't get their usual seats. New people are buying, people are selling. It's a mess.

There's going to be a ton of Messi fans. Which is fine. Hopefully the local Messi fans can be swayed into attending NYCFC games in the future. This is a chance to increase the size of the team's fandom.

Hoping for a good performance.
