In these heated times, it must be soothing to have the playoff panel whispering into your ear.

“My vote is for Penne Arrabiate” explains Andrea Devico, a proud first-time panellist. “Not because they are in first, but because there seems to be a little problem with bad tempers and testosterone overdoses in this lovely division. Penne usually keeps their cool.” So much so, in fact, that Kristin and Ken are more than happy to agree with their perceptive RDP co-worker. Personally, I still like Cassi Design: league legends, never to be taken lightly. I’ve seen this movie before. Just saying.

Predictions get a little dicier in the C3 Division. Andrea believes Boiseries Elegance is the most complete team (despite FC Scarpelle’s charm), Kristin is betting on undefeated goal machine Argentine and I was looking to Italtech to at least duke it out to the bitter end.

You win this round, Les Bleus.
