La Liga/Serie A/Bundesliga Draft

Why is he holding a paper Meisterschale? He wasn't trusted with the original trophy?
I've no idea, maybe got it from a fan? At least that would be my guess. Klopp also had a fake one to celebrate:

Kool. Gimme a hour or two to put something together.

@Marty1968
I can get the match set up some time today. If you can send me your tactics then I'll sort out the match thread. Will need someone clever to sort out the voting poll though.


Also with regards to the voting poll for matches, have we sorted how we're going to do this?

Also had the idea a while ago that a second voting poll would be added to the match thread for voters to pick the best keeper on the pitch. In the event of a draw and the match going to penalties, the team with the best keeper has an advantage whereby the opponent can only pick left or right and so only has a 50% change of scoring whereas the team with the best keeper has 66% chance - left, right, centre...

In the interests of simplicity and to avoid confusion, the second voting poll could only be added after the scores were a draw. And perhaps only open for a few hours to keep things moving along. But yes good shout - we need to reward the better keepers and give them a better chance of saving any penalties.

@Marty1968

Do you have any specific recommendations regarding the presentation of our tactics?


was Kuffour really that good? Maybe exaggerating from only CL games, I see him as on par with Phil Jones.

In any case, great CV! But, maybe some Bundesliga pundits will enlighten us in the future.

Well, if he's on par with the best player in Man United history I'd say that he is good enough
 
No doubt. David May has a great CV too.

j/k folks.

:lol:

I am not saying he is the best defender in this tournament. When I was looking for a Bundesliga player, he was in my short-list but I have preferred Julio Cesar.
 
Yeah, great pick as well. Sammy is just so much more likeable :D.
The decision was made easier by the fact that we were facing a strong aerial striker like Zlatan. Linke is probably the closest we can come to replicating the job Vidic did on him in the cl game.
 
A wee nod to the fine Eintracht Frankfurt team of the early-to-mid 1990s... Tony Yeboah

Obviously he played his best football in Germany (9th in the Ballon), but any excuse to post this



and this

Surprised how many Bundesliga strikers were picked instead of Élber.
