Annah/Swe 48-58 VS Enigma - NT peak draft

[Annahnomoss]

it's not particularly amazing mate seeing as they didn't play together all that much.

I feel you man, I remember the old days of foreign based players not getting call ups. I hated that. That's why we actually had a fundraising campaign to buy Morena back from Valencia for a record fee at the time. Imagine the same held for Cristiano and Benfica/Porto fans chipped in to get him back to Sporting so he could play for Portugal... and by the time the funds were raised we had already been knocked out in the 1982 World Cup qualifiers

Almost a decade. What a waste.

It has nothing to do with what Moore can do which Beckenbauer doesn't because Moore is surely there as a covering third man to give Facchetti and Amoros complete freedom.

No?

Yes.

And in the long run that - complete - freedom will obviously be too much to handle.

Nobody's hassling/tracking/marking those two when they attack - and that simply won't work.

Wonderfully crazy tactic - I love it, actually, but it's doomed to fail.

The only possible way in which this might work is if Facchetti/Amoros somehow fail to ever leave their defensive stations, i.e. that they're constantly pinned down with defensive tasks. But that won't happen here, as Annah has already conceded the possession. As it stands, Enigma can outnumber him at will, simply by passing it out wide - to an unmarked player at that.

Would be an incredible match to watch. I can see Facchetti running at the five man defence, only to turn suddenly - heading back out wide, with nobody following him. Liedholm and his crew stands in his own half, shouting: «Oy! Stop teasing, you fecker, shoot or cross, whatever, we're getting cold here!»

And don't forget how clever he was with his off the ball movement. If nobody is minding him Amoros' crosses will find him regularly getting free headers.

The people voting, what kind of score line do you see? @harms etc

Close one, obviously, and there won't be many goals scored with those defences - Müller will score an eventual winner, like he did so many times. More than anyone ever at the biggest stage iirc (was i the guardian that made a list?)

In the same program they said that England rightly scored the winner ("proving" it with some godawful fifa 05 graphic), so I don't trust them at all

Everybody has his moments, the "proof" was one of them of course , but from the video Theon posted you can see it was pretty accurate.

Wasn't entirely serious - of course I've seen his final performance and it was absolutely immense. But I only heard of this program after someone posted that screenshot, decided to watch it and found that disastrous "proof" that the goal was legit

Good game mate. The Swedes falls against Pele, fitting end.

Cheers mate. Good game indeed. You've done exceptionally well throughout the draft and kudos for sticking with your initial plan and game style!

Fitting end indeed.. would have been nice for you knock out a side with Pele in one of the earlier rounds and get some revenge for the Swedes! well done on all the writeups and that magnificent performance against EAP which was legendary.

Cheers guys!
