No 1

[Footballfan]

Why are we No 1 in the draw for the next round

[Whitey Grandad]

Because we were the first tie drawn for this round. Keep up!

Why are we No 1 in the draw for the next round

 

Because we were the first tie out of the hat in the last round.

The winning team takes the number of the tie.

[Glasgow_Saint]

Because we have spent so much money and are now the favourites to win the cup.

[Whitey Grandad]

I prefer your answer Seriously though, I suppose that the semifinals are a realistic possibility, given a favourable draw.

[John Boy Saint]

Because "we are by far the greatest team the would has ever seen!"

 

About time we got shown a little bit of respect ;-)

I believe that the numbers are randomly assigned for the draw. We are 1, the skates are 12.

The first two teams out of the hat become 'match number 1', the winners of that match become 'team number 1' for the next round draw.
