Bye Granted
Grilled were given a free ride to the second round of the Hattrick Masters, as they were not selected for the initial round in the random draw tonight. That was not especially unexpected, since the final list of 174 participants meant that 82 had to be exempted, while the remaining 92 teams were paired off in 46 first-round games.
Singapore's other representative ChAmPzz got an away tie against Cypriot Cup Winner Ac Milan Cyprus, and will certainly go in as favourites. The Czech Republic had the rare misfortune of having their league and cup winners pitted together from the outset.
Other notable clashes include the China-India struggle between Tsing Yi MTR Drivers and cowabunga kickers, Israel's dominating parrots versus top American club G's Goons, and Latvian Cup holders Alien`s welcoming their Canadian counterparts, Alderwood Chiefs.
