@Edgar Allan Pillow

He wasn't going to make it back to you anyway Physio

 

[Moby]

@Aldo

That's Lucio.

 

[Ecstatic]

The picture is the right one

 

[Chesterlestreet]

That's Lucio.

If by "Lucio" you mean "Ivan Cordoba", then yes - you're right.

 

[Moby]

Haha that's an old running redcafe drafts gag. Started in the 70s draft I think.

Is it Lucio? Is it Cordoba? No one will ever know.

hard to tell apart other than about a 7 inch height difference

[Tuppet]

Ughh so close

 

[harms]

Passarella - Ruggeri, the best center back pairing in the draft? Don't see anyone else topping that

And Passarella - R. Carlos Are you trying to lure @antohan from the retirement?

 

[Moby]

Are you trying to lure @antohan from the retirement?

Thank god someone figured that out.

That batphone didn't answer.

[Moby]

Brilliant pick.

 

[harms]

Leonel Sánchez

That was one of the neatest left hooks I've ever seen

 

[Moby]

really wish there could be more footage of moreno, going by some of the quotes about him.

The one that I really enjoyed

One of these stories tells of a match against Tigre, when Moreno was hit in the head by a projectile from the stands and went down, bleeding profusely. Di Stefano recalls that he asked if he should call for assistance, and Moreno replied with an angry profanity. He got back up, called the young DiStefano and told him: ‘Kid, listen to me carefully. If a player goes down on the field and he doesn’t get back up on his own, it better be because he's dead.' Moreno continued playing as if nothing had happened. Di Stefano was impressed by that incident, and throughout his great career, no matter how hurt he was, he never asked for assistance from the bench. Di Stefano adds that he is glad that Moreno isn’t around to watch today’s players, as they shamefully fall down and stay down over the most minimal contact.

[Skizzo]

First up is a player @Pat_Mustard has wanted for drafts upon drafts now

Ricardo Bochini​

 

[harms]

Bochini - Ronaldo!! I fully expected him to be picked earlier, although there was a clear emphasis on defenders

 

[Skizzo]

And next up, (and i hope this is who Pat finally decided on )

In anticipation of it coming down to me can anyone take my next pick?

 

[Skizzo]

I'll be around a while if you want to shoot it over

 

[Skizzo]

Bochini - Ronaldo!! I fully expected him to be picked earlier, although there was a clear emphasis on defenders

I saw a post of yours earlier mentioning him as a probable first round pick in a S America draft too. Glad he lasted. His passing and through balls to Ronaldo would be quite a pleasant viewing experience

 

[harms]

Yeah, it was when I wanted to exclude all European stars though. But he is probably the best №10 to dovetail with Ronaldo even from the whole pool (although Zico and a few others were the better players)

 

[Gio]

Ricardo Bochini​

Nice. Surprised he lasted so long.

 

[Skizzo]

Nice. Surprised he lasted so long.

Tbh so am I. Although it depends on what people were looking for in their #10. There's a few better in the pool "talent" wise. He's a bit less of a goal threat himself, but more than makes up for that with his playmaking. Like @harms said, he's probably the best foil for Ronaldo, who would be making those runs in behind the defense.

Sorry mate, it really is twice in a row we missed the player you wanted. Blame it on Tuppet.

5. Hector Scarone

,,,

The full highlights are even better. The Italians started it!

The national motto of Chile reads "by reason or by force". Today, the Chileans were prepared to be reasonable. The Italians only used force
