[Nedy]

Cali gets my vote. Better in all areas.

[Rambo]

Cali wins for me.

[Scarface]

Silly scoreline.

Dimitri has put out a team with a rock solid defence, and is being hammered, again? Bit unfair, if you ask me.

His team has more than enough in them to shut up shop and gain at least a point, here.

Tuncay and Neri Cardozo's pace and skill on the flanks, can create a chance for the clinical Frei to finish, although with them well outnumbered, it would be difficult to create many.

Cali has a team capable of promotion, but I think they'd struggle in this match, due to Dimitri's strong defence and central midfield.

I think Dimitri would gain a win, with a late goal from a counter attack, courtesy of a solo run from Tuncay Sanli, after Cali's men push forward, looking for the 3 pts. 1-0.

[Phatmann2003]

Cali.....just. 1-0 with the goal coming last minute. As Reyes has said above, dimitri should not be losing 6-1 on votes, as it would surely be a close contest, but for me it would be won by cali.

[greenegg]

I'm going to say Dimitri but only just. Two good teams who will work hard and cancel each other out but Dimitri needs the vote to even up the unrealistic scoreline

:crymore: Thanks for the votes guys... I think I'm mainly suffering because a significant number of my players aren't very high profile (i.e. don't play in the PL or La Liga) although I stand by my squad. One of those things I guess.
