Any consolation prizes for those with 4, @antohan ? That kenwood juicer seems appealing...
One of praths cast-offs?
Still prefer the juicer..
Do we actuall Have to post 10? Won’t 5 or 6 do?
OK, 6 then
PUZZLE 1: an iconic picture of Just Fontaine carried off by his teammates. If you didn't know the photo, the rooster was a dead giveaway.
Gio: Pele (looks like the famous pic of him getting carried off the park after injury at the WC)
Gio: Dave Mackay (badge is Spurs-esque and he broke his leg twice, and they probably didn't have stretchers back in the day)
2mufc0: is question 1 Pelé?
I remembered him stretchered but not held up like that so tried look it up at this point only to find this great bit of porn for @Moby
Onenil: Just Fontaine from 1958 World Cup with Mesut Ozil long lost relative on the right [
]
Lord SInister: Bill Brown [who?
]
crappy: Is the first one Platini?
Pat: Jose Manuel Moreno: Had solid thighs and I think I can see a moustache in that picture [plastered again?]
P-Nut: Number 1 is an old French footballer with massive thighs [after extensive analysis of old style French kits]... Raymond Kopa?
Mazhar: The kit is for the France national football team (as indicated by the rooster at the top right of the shirt). The shirt itself is one plain colour, indicating that it must have been for a France team of the 1950's and past. On top of that, it has a button at the top; later France kits did not contain buttons. Just Fontaine. [there you go guys, a nice piece of trivia: French kits post-1958 didn't have buttons].
Gio: Pele (looks like the famous pic of him getting carried off the park after injury at the WC)
Gio: Dave Mackay (badge is Spurs-esque and he broke his leg twice, and they probably didn't have stretchers back in the day)

I expect it to arrive soon @P-Nut0712
If Moe Syzlak were to say ‘I want a hard man’ now, the answer would be Gattuso
Better than his career of late tbh
The one on the right is our expression When we realise that Calvin Klein replaced Beckham with Justin Bieber for their ads
Clearly in a public place and can make out the Diadora symbol
The guy behind Totti is probably the only guy who regrets being in a picture with Totti.
Lots of free time in the Chinese league
Captain America : Civil War (ode to the fact that he stopped a civil war in his country)
All players exchange for frimpong

Blocked ones allowed?
I thought only the ones who are picked is ineligible.
Surely the blocked list is blocked as well.
Either way Gattuso should be accepted as your first pick...
PUZZLE 2: Schumacher should be a dead give away, with some effort you would recognise Cabrini or spot the scorer's disguised number is in the twenties. The defender in white also helps narrow things down.
As I was taking it off old newspaper B&W cutouts I tried to make sure it wasn't too hard to locate the era so arched my arm to make the light shine on the Iveco signs, which instead of the intended effect seems to have led to a few rabbit holes.
Gio: West Germany almost scoring against France in the 1982 World Cup Semi-Final.
Charly: France vs Germany 1982 WC final with Paolo Rossi scoring the first goal and Toni Schumacher is watching.
Ecstatic: PUZZLE 2 = NO GOAL - TEAM SAVED BY A DEFENDER
Pat: Is a ball boy about to prevent a goal by booting the ball away as it's about to cross the line? Savoldi for Bologna vs Ascoli 1975.
[from Schumacher the ball-watching keeper to Schumacher the ballboy in two steps]
Onenil: Germany-Austria "Disgrace" from 1982 World Cup - (Canon-Iveco ad banner in background from 82 WC) [why Austria?]
Enigma: From first sight on #2 isn't that Paolo Rossi scoring in the 82 WC final against West Germany? The keeper looks like Toni Schumacher and that Adidas ball is definitely either from 1978 or 1982 WC. #4 should be Antonio Cabrini in that WC and I think Iveco only sponsored that WC. [That just from first sight, these puzzles are hard!]
KM: prath searched IVECO which is an Italian company and this showed up (a video of the Rossi goal)
P-Nut: I checked for Iveco sponsorship and saw an old picture of Watford. Checked their honours list and they came runners up in the 1984 FA Cup Final. Watford 1984 FA Cup Final. [minutes later] After additional research I found they didn't even fecking score!
P-Nut: #2 Hewitt scoring against Madrid in 83 final? Going off this image [which looks identical, of course]
@mazhar13 owes you all his detailed analysis of each and every German game at the 1982 World Cup, the hairstyles of all the rival goalkeepers and German forwards, and how therefore that could only be Uwe Reinders scoring against Chile.
Schumacher then goes from ball-watcher to ballboy to being categorically described as "that could only be Mario Osben, Chile's goalkeeper at the 1982 World Cup".

Coming right up...
EDIT: Dang, my memory's not as good as I hoped it would be, but I should be able to get something close enough to it.

Tbf I did come across this. Iirc Watford had some sort of sponsorship.
Good man. You get to swap Frimpong for Gattuso.
DRAFTING OVER, FLOODGATES OPEN
Why did nobody pick Drogba in that last round?
Or Zidane like ever despite having a baldies round? @Gio actually started arguing his wife's case in T1 but not very well so missed the deadline, then chose not to pursue him as he was "obviously picked"

Meh the pool was so tiny that I thought Malouda and Kalou were going to be picked straight away.. Let alone Drogba.
Here is the original post (to the best of my memory):
There, I hope you're satisfied with that @antohan.

I was going to pick Drogba, but I misread the rules and thought that national team appearances in the country of birth also counted, so that ruled him out for me.
Match #1

P-Nut0712 vs. prath92/KM
Good effort, I don't remember the explanation for why yu thought Germany were scoring, you just seemed to leap there without even considering they were conceding and that the goalkeeper was the spitting image of the German one

Image not loading for me, or have you censored Gattuso in briefs?
Match #2
Pat_Mustard vs. harms
Pat_Mustard vs. harms
Oh yeah, you're right, I just assumed that the keeper was non-German and went straight to Mario Osben.Good effort, I don't remember the explanation for why yu thought Germany were scoring, you just seemed to leap there without even considering they were conceding and that the goalkeeper was the spitting image of the German one
Images seem to load fine
Teams without a keeper also did not try to get Mandanda in the last round either.
