oh and for the rhetorical question(yeah i know :D)
I wouldn't feel good, cause if i would get far in the cup and actually made it pretty far, then it wouldn't give a good feeling as you would get there by plain luck, not cause you have a better team.

And i think that at the end of the cup it should be more excited then in the beginning. When the bigger teams cancel each other out, you would get a 4th division guy reaching the semi-finals. Not very exciting if you ask me.

You should also get far in the cup cause you have a good team, not cause you have some plain ass luck.

yeah, I understand your point, but I think you just look at it theoretically.

there is how many? 7 or so? rounds before a team reaches the quarter finals. Statistically spoken, chances are very small you will not meet a decent team on that road sooner or later, so a bad team will never reach that spot, but for 1 time in soooooooo many times...
Bad teams get eliminated as well, even if all good ones have to play each other early.
Good teams somethimes get eliminated because their bad opponent decided to crunch and was playing at home,... so somethimes it's better to play a good team that doesn't want to crunch to not throw away it's enthousiasm, then to get a lesser team that crucnhes you out of the cup,... it's not just the luck of the draw you need, to be able to reach far, you need luck, a good team is not enough, plain and simple.

you thought you had a chance? well, you had. I think popo got lucky to win the game, or she used very good tactics (did realy look at your game) but if both play the best options, I think you would be the winner in 60 or even 70% of the games... HCA is pety strong, and it takes some good tactics and/or a clearly better team, to overcome the advantage the hometeam has.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.

k thanks for all the intel and time you put in me to explain why random can also be good.
It was just a little shock for me, being eliminated in first round(for the first time)
cause of some bad luck.
I actually wanted to get a little bit more far than previous season.

Anyways I just have one more question: What is HCA?
Cause I sure don't know every abbreviation in this game and don't know everything and always want to learn :)

Thx and good luck in the cup.
