Send mine to Balu a while back. If anyone else is doing it then let me know.

Can someone else do the penalty shootout? I just came home and I'm away again for the next few hours.

So, is anyone else interested in doing the penalties? This is really starting to drag on, and I fear that this draft may die off soon.
 
Odd match. Which now seems to have been abandoned on top of everything else.

Sorry I wasn't able to contribute to this one - but I've been drowning in work, unexpectedly so.
 
I was also going to vote Aldo. I felt Best would have absolutely destroyed Maz's defence in this game.

Have you sent the formation graphics to Aldo ? He said he could not find it in your PM.

Yeah. Did it a few hours age when I got home from college.
 
Aldo can't trust his players so has decided to take all penalties himself and also be the goalkeeper.
 
Aldo steps up to take the first penalty. Runs up and smashed it straight down the middle. Zoff throws himself to the left. 1-0.
Hurst follows Aldo's lead and smashes it down the middle. Aldo goes to the right. 1-1.
Aldo runs up, does a rabona to the right. Keeper is flabbergasted and stands frozen in the middle of the goal. 2-1.
Giles does a panenka. Aldo once again goes to the right. 2-2.
 
Why is Aldo himself taking every penalty?
 
Aldo is stood staring at the left corner. Runs up and places it to the right, sending Zoff the wrong way. 3-2.
Dietz steps up. As he runs up he doesn't take his eyes off Aldo. Dietz places the ball via the right post an in, sending Aldo the wrong way in the process. 3-3.
Aldo looks to smash it through the middle again but he slips and the ball curves to the left. Zoff has already thrown himself that way and saves it! 3-3 still.
Simoes goes for power and sends the ball to the left but Aldo gets it right this time. Still 3-3!
 
He runs up and places it to the left. The power in the shot is to much for Zoff who doesn't even bother throwing himself at it but stands still in the middle. 4-3.
 
Will Jensen handle the pressure? He runs up, places it to the left but there isn't enough power on it. Aldo reacts quickly and throws himself for the 5th time to the right. 4-3. Aldo wins!

I'm heartbroken, but Aldo did deserve to go through. Great match, @Aldo. Well deserved.

I thought I could bring Simoes, Hansen, and Jensen to the fore, but I guess I can't do it anymore. :( I hope others can take them on and promote them better.

Unlucky mate. Simoes in particular is well worth another match or two in this pool, so hopefully he gets picked up in the reinforcements. Great effort in pulling it back from that early deficit though, especially as the match thread was so quiet.
