Think that was his first (or thereabouts) game back after breaking his leg a few months earlier against Lyon. Does look quite rusty at times to be fair, but up against an incredible defence and they are on the ropes for a while there.

yeah, commentators said he was just back from the injury. His touch let him down few times but his movement and intelligence on the pitch is second to none, wonderful player.
One of the greatest ever defensive displays in the WC finals imo. Just exuded calmness and class both on the ball and off it. Impeccable defensively and still managed to contribute to the build up play, culminating in his the assist for Tardelli's classic WC goal.
Yup, looks like it's been blocked . Strange how Littbarski's compilation from the same match is still up though. Either way, will be looking to upload it to dailymotion.
So, @Skizzo if you want to, feel free to go in. If that's the case I will wait for another draft or be AM if someone needs one.
Have no problem, with whatever you choose.

See that other draft is on hold atm. Anyway, Skizzo didn't reply (think he didn't even log in for 2 days now), so if it stays the same I will go alone when you decide to run with it.
If he shows by the time we start we can change it as I propose to him to take my place and I go with Sjor. Think that's fair.
