Heading to bed. @Annahnomoss has my picks
Can leave it with me.
Always a possible issue, I suppose.
I foresee (probably tedious) discussions about how underwhelming the otherwise stellar X actually was.
I also foresee nobody picking a couple of players who weren't stellar on the whole but who shone very brightly for a spell at the highest level (well, what used to be the highest level, anyway).
And people will obviously favour Euro over Copa.
So far it's just been a GOAT fest with simpletons posting drooling smileys at obvious picks, nothing to get hard over for a hipster.
I definitely think my team will attract lots of discussion on the distinction between below peak vs underwhelming and brilliance vs sample size.
Klose was always a national team player, not a club player. Seriously. Dunno why though. Had good years at Werder and after that, he was just the perfect player for our NT. Loved him to bits. True legend. Saw him losing the 2002 final and was so happy for him to do it 12 (!!) years later. Shares the record for longest timeframe between two finals with Pelé. Also the only player to score more than 1 goal in 4 different tournaments. True legend, his goal against Brazil in 2014 is my favourite moment ever.
Yeah, for me it looked like he was operating as an inside-left who liked to drift out wide. It's a bit like the Eusebio debate - at times he drifted deep to get on the ball because the service was generally lacking. Whereas in a more dominant or higher quality set-up, he'd play higher. I think it's something that applies to almost any attacking player who starred for a second or third tier nation.
I did but Enigma is back in timeDo you have the pick of enigma?
yeah, just back from the pub after the game.I did but Enigma is back in time
I thought @Downcast would pick him last round but he seems to have something against ever picking a proper RB

glad he didn't, as he's a good fit for me but couldn't wait to pick him anymore as most of the managers above me doesn't have a RB yet.
I thought @Downcast would pick Tigana and Amoros, but as soon as Tigana got taken I guess he changed the theme.
Should be around for a few hours, see how things progress.Isotope

You're online now so leave your pick to Annah, greensmiley if you have to log off.
Yeah, I used so many underrated right-backs and I don't want to mention the names:
- a Roumanian sweeper
- a Spanish LB
- some Italian midfielders
- a Yougoslav LB who never played as a RB
Crncokovic, something like that
The RB I did want was picked just before my turn, I've picked crnnnckovic without doing a proper research: I sincerely believed he was a RB but during the game I've understood my mistake.
