Correct.
Cheers.
I'm going for the most boring team of the tournament and potentially a 1st round exit.
Pepe - Born in Brazil and plays for Portugal
and
Mikel Arteta - Born 1982 and has 0 caps for Spain (less than 30

)Balls, thought Stam would slip through, took le Tissier early because people seemed to be going mental over the no Europe rule. Saves me research and a possible sheep down the road though.

Two difficult criteria's done! And more hours of waiting.....
Honestly, after so many players wiped off my sheet, I'm really struggling to put together a team lols.
Hagi.

@NM @Snow
Ooof, there goes a good un. Played @Aldo
I am very glad his parents decided to postpone "the night" by a couple of months. 
Damn. Hagi gone.
This is where things get very tricky. Get another pesky category out of the way - or grab a heavy hitter before he's gone?
Nun or not, I need a drink soon to get the aul brains going.

Yeah, had the same dilemma. Hope I've made the right choice.
Hagi was a potential for me hehe, just couldn't fit him in .
Great pick though.
. Great pick though.
Hagi's a great pick but accommodating he and Rivaldo was an issue for some when Gio had both in a previous draft iirc
I'm gonna refuse to think about this until its almost my turn. Every pick will probably be like a dagger to the heart otherwise
I have to say I'm starting to feel crappy hates me
I think I'm driving him crazy
I think I'm driving him crazy
Tell me about it. The core of my team has recently been gutted lol.
Cmon peeps, we really need to try speed this up
Was thinking of picking Hagi, but then realized he didn't meet the category i was thinking of picking him for.
Its near impossible to plan when you could wait 24 picks before you go again. There's players I think will be safe before I pick again and the very next pick they're gone.
Yeah, that was disappointing. Was quite sure he would have been out of FIFA's 30.
I'm surprised to find the number of caps some players have. A couple of Argentinians for example that I was fairly confident had less than 30 caps, it turned out they had more than 50. A tricky criteria that one

@rpitroda for the WC runners-up criterion, does everyone who was in the 23 man squad of the losing team counts or just the ones who started and came on as subs in the final do? For example, is Ballack eligible for that one?
Honestly, fk off with that Ballack pick. It's all too much for me now.
Everyone who was in the squad.
There are way too many international games these days. Some really average players have more than 50 caps for the big football nations, it's really strange if you compare it with the stats from the 60's and 70's.
Very good pick, had him down in another life.
Ballack is flexible though. Can help me in a few criteria. However, I'm glad I can use him for WC
Thanks, Ballack + Redondo I think will be amazing.
I pick: He comes from Serbia, He'll fecking murder you!
vidic from Serbia currently rated 31st in fifas rankings.
vidic from Serbia currently rated 31st in fifas rankings.Aye, I had my eye on him, good pick up for that criteria.
Logging on to find Stam has gone has killed me.

@Chesterlestreet
Ahh I considered Vidic for soooo long!!!
Ffs both Ballack and Vida
Just to clarify, does Shevchenko meet the criteria of someone who played for a country they wasn't born in ?
I pick: He comes from Serbia, He'll fecking murder you!
ahh feck ya.
