You'll have time. It still has to come back down past @Tuppet yet
I know the feel, broda. Travelling in India myself, the struggle is real!
Take your time
Sorry guys, Traveling to a rather remote part of India with only my phone and a very flaky 2g signal with no time to do research either. I'll try to speed it up now.

Byrninho*I blame harms and Annah. Took away my Bryne
Zmuda is a steal at turn 9.
Northern part. In the state of uttrakhand.
Zmuda is excellent pick. One of the other two on my shortlist for sweeper type of CB if it wasn't for Schulz.
First Boban, now him. Do I need to start hunting you?

Phew! Dangerous ground in some ways, excellent pick in others. The tactical influence they had on football in Germany is a pretty amazing story, pretty much everything around the 'Schalker Kreisel'. Individually from what I've read he must have been a top, top player. The leadership thing, well, his brilliance and Schalke's dominance fell into the Nazi era and they were clearly one of the teams used for propaganda and Schalke got a lot of preferential treatment compared to almost all other clubs. It's not 100% clear where he stood in a political sense and how that benefited his career. His famous teammate is a bit easier to like considering his attitude to politics. Then the 1938 World Cup was a big feck up after they united the German and Austrian team, which could have been Szepan's big moment. It's an interesting story to tell in many ways, looking forward to his playerprofile
.Thanks, yes the political involvement during that time in Europe is pretty important to consider. In fact plenty of greats over the years not just during WW2 Europe have been influenced - positively or negatively - by political involvement. Remember Anto telling stories about that famous Argentine playmaker who inspired Maradona and wasn't allow to play in the WC because the military wanted River players, etc. It's quite difficult to incorporate into a player's influence on the pitch and whether we should incorporate it at all, but really interesting to discuss nevertheless.Phew!

Was thinking about going 4-2-2-2, and reuniting father and son. It's just so little available videos of v. Mazzola to justify his picking. All just description by people. If you describe Steven Gerrard for instance, without seeing him play, you'd think he's Di Stefano and Edgar Davids combined.
Dowcast-Bashing has already started.The Beckenbauer before the war thing is a bit misleading though, Szepan was a more attacking player, maybe comparable to World Cup 1966 Beckenbauer. The versatility, the combination of technical and defensive ability was apparently there, but like with many of the pre-WWII greats, it often sounds as if they were Cruyff and Beckenbauer mixed into one.Thanks, yes the political involvement during that time in Europe is pretty important to consider.

As for Szepan, they had me at 'beckenbauer before the war'.
