Yeah Good thinking.Solid picks EAP. I also like Iso picking Gentile so nobody will bother him with man marking Maradona with him.

I also like it. In a previous draft, I picked both Maradona and Matthaus because the 1st one said
"he is the best rival I've ever had. I guess that's enough to define him", in his book Yo soy el Diego (I am the Diego).
How did that go?
The outcome you mean?
I lost the SF against Invictus/Theon but harms won that draft.
Nice. Strangely enough, this photo is often used to represent another Uruguayan (who didn't even look like him)
Send it over.Who can I leave my pick with?
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
Cruyff, Seeler and Messi make for a very dynamic and flexible attack. Fluid and hard to mark against. Yeah, satisfactory!
Which messi are you taking? Cops America 2007 probably his best tournament
'15 and '16 are equally good imo. Yeah, they flunked the finals, but Messi was quite good in both.
With a far better supporting cast in this draft, I'm sure he can take win this final
Yeah, one of those that gets abnormal performances from the likes of Pantsil but can't get star-studded frontlines to shine.Eh, good supporting cast, shit coach.

So I've been watching the 1958 World Cup for a while now and I am a bit shocked how Garrincha was named in the team of the tournament for his three assists. Hamrin and X both had an absolute stellar tournament leading their team with a type of influence Garrincha wasn't close to. Hamrin scored 4 and assisted 3 while X scored 6 goals in 6 games and both had tournaments about as good as they come.
LW of the tournament, Skoglund, was more productive than Garrincha with his 1 goal and 3 assists. Anybody else agree about Garrincha's 58? He was still himself, trying to produce a goal/assist every time he touched the ball but his style needs him at his peak for him to not just be wasteful.
His importance was huge and the youthful energy/flair he brought to the team with Pele can't be understated, but in terms of performances it wasn't the same story. Not that he was bad by any means, he was very good, but there were two even better right wingers that World Cup.
I've only seen Brazil vs France and Brazil vs Sweden in the final from '58 and I was somewhat underwhelmed with Garrincha too. I was more impressed with another winger.

I agree that 2007 Copa is probably the best from him. Maybe last years Copa as well. Either way better than any of the WC showings'15 and '16 are equally good imo. Yeah, they flunked the finals, but Messi was quite good in both.
