TBH, ever since he got Falcao off me it's been fine. I've actually been on a roll since as I had to really think it all through then.

It would do no harm if someone picked the obvious 80s right wing option he is waiting to nab, and the 60s one, and the two 80s backups... Oh feck, we can't, can we?
 
Yeah till the Marzolini fiasco I was going fine too, in fact got lucky with players like Muller, Gullit and Nedved which I was sure would be gone by then.

Just happened to have the same decade and position left as the draft database himself which was the chance that rid me of the player I so wanted. I could have still gone with Zambrotta at RB and had an LB who I have seen rated quite highly but I don't like him personally and didn't want a player who I didn't like in my team.
 
Stobzilla picks this absolute powerhouse. Named German player of the year when Hellas Verona won their one and only Serie A title - the first foreign-based player to win the award. God knows why he wanted Bergmark when he could get this man!

Source? I don't seem to recall there being such an award back in those days. Either you're referring to an (unofficial) newspaper ranking or you've confused it with him winning the German Footballer of the Year award in 1985 (and being the first foreign-based player to do so).

I am!

I think we can all agree to let paceme change his pick from Stekelenberg.

Absolutely. People on here underrate him massively if Bergmark was considered the better pick.

He was my favourite German defender of the 80s, Terminator before the franchise even started. Stob also has Forster to go along!

Well he just wanted his 30s pick out of the way but he's definitely got better options for his 30s picks for other areas anyway! I'm going to assume Bergmark was nothing special unless Aldo can pull out some good info. That was a good Sweden team but I don't remember him at all.

I was torn between Briegel, Camacho, one other left back and then Gerets + the one remaining top class right back. All five had different things going for them and all day long I had Briegel as my #1 but decided to take Camacho last-minute. Won bucketloads alongside Hugo Sanchéz, adds real grit to that left wing which was needed behind Dzajic and it's always handy to have a top class man-marker at fullback. If I come up against Rummenigge there aren't many better placed to deal with him than Camacho and his old team-mate Bergomi...still not convinced I made the right call though. Briegel's quality.
 
This goes to show how different things were without the internet.

I just realised Terminator was released in the mid-80s, while I only got to watch it in 88 or 89. That uncovers an age-old mystery to me.

During the 1986 World Cup some pundit here referred to Briegel as "the one with the glass eye". I found it absurd that a football player at that level could play with only one eye. Looked at photos, tried to do what research you could do (i.e. read newspapers and mags hoping someone mentioned and explained it). Briegel was what to this day I imagine an atheltically superior and uber-efficient German to be. Could he possibly make up for that disadvantage with his other outstanding physical attributes?

I was positive Briegel's eyes were fine in 1982 so I spent most of the Uruguay-Germany game waiting for close-ups searching for the funny eye. They both looked fully functional, so I decided to call bullshit eventually and the matter never came back to my mind until I just said "Terminator before Terminator".

The pundit was referring to Terminator too. God, I feel so stupid.

Briegel every day for me. Add Brehme on the other flank and he too would know a thing or two about Rummenigge... Can also be deployed at CB if needs be. In fact, just as someone mentioned Thuram on the right of a three, Briegel on the left of a three would be immense.

I did find it very odd.

Back to Cutch
 
Now, someone get a Uruguayan on board or I may have to agree a Montero-Campbell transfer with Cutch.

Not sure how to react. I mean there'll be many of us who might agree to swap players with mutual agreement after they realized they have picked the wrong one but that sort of defeats the point of the draft. Really don't want to sound like a dick which I am right now but I am not sure that is a right thing to do.
