Time for a couple of favourites. First, a defender who I'd place comfortably amongst the top 3-4 La Liga centre-halves in the pool.
And second a keeper who was the dog's bollocks for Boca and Colombia around the turn of the century and might just be the only keeper ever to be completely unbeaten throughout an entire international tournament.

Yea it's as much a Gio team as it can be. Perhaps missing a bit of Gamarra.I swear I could have picked your team almost to a man. I remember mulling over Mauro Silva and the odds you would pick him (before Cafu pick of course) and I concluded you would pick Naybet late on instead.
Similar with Cordoba.
No surprises. It's rare to get a near free run at a group of personal favourites and means I can enjoy making their case or die trying in the match thread(s).I swear I could have picked your team almost to a man.

Probably a good thing my shadow wanks don't block, otherwise I may have just enjoyed picking them all just for kicks.No surprises. It's rare to get a near free run at a group of personal favourites and means I can enjoy making their case or die trying in the match thread(s).

Litmanen as a 10th pick
Amazing player, shame about that Liverpool stint
Hey!I think we're the only two Naybet diehards left these days.
Hey!
The Super Depor club - yes, very much.Sorry man I didn't know you were in the club!

Also in the same draft, me and The Stain had the Dutch Depor striker.Come to think of it I do fondly remember you fighting the good fight for Bebeto when we had him in the Three Leagues Draft, so I should have joined the dots here .

Completely and utterly off-topic, but seeing as this has ground to a halt, I'm just after watching a Sky Sports show about the ineligible Les Ferdinand. Such a good centre forward. I wonder how highly he'd be regarded if he'd had more opportunities on the European stage, or if Shearer hadn't been around and he'd got a better run at international level. Good finisher, fantastic header, quick, strong, and good in the build up both in the air and on the deck. He also signed an autograph for me (along with Paul Parker) when I was a kid, which I'm sure he remembers fondly.
Argentina have been blessed with some crap management over the years. From Passarella's haircut shenanigans back then to Diego leaving out Pupi and unpicked fresh after a Champions League win..That's always an interesting thing to think about. I always found Argentina's behind the scenes drama interesting. Besides the benefit of Redondo being available for <30Cap requirements, its a shame he had so little international games in his era.
Just realised. Edited.Aldo There are lots of unpicked players in that post

Depor were everyone's favourite underdog story. A bit like Atletico these days.Aye, and I recall bigging him up when you picked him too. The Depor love flows strong .

Wow, that's some blast from the past @bleezy. Would have sworn he was too old, but maybe that's because he looked so much more mature and experienced than everyone around him (to a younger me at least).
