La Daga Club de Fútbol out of Group E becomes the first team to secure a spot in the Knockout Rounds after completing a sweep at home, this time beating milli pede 3-0. La Daga still has a little bit of work to do to win the group but, more importantly, they want to keep racking up Group Stage points to grab one of the four 1st Round byes even after they presumably clinch the Group E top spot.
Those opening wins by La Daga, of course, makes the second transfer spot out of Group E wide open.
No other team was able to punch their ticket today, although the crutchanators of soccer and Fighting Ants are both a win or less away from moving on in the tourney. With another six games to be played tomorrow, there will probably be another transfer spot or two secured.
Now that I have slept on it, I suppose
Group E could end up in a four-way 3-3 tie, with every team finishing with 9 points or if the last place team finishes at 1-5, the other two teams could trade off points to get to nine or better. Long story short,
La Daga Club de Fútbol is in the same position that the other two front runners are in...a win or less away from moving on in the tourney. The odds of that scenario playing out are low but not zero. I'll remove the coveted blue highlighting for the moment
