@Šjor Bepo

Xavi and Lahm in a team is pretty much as good as a combination as you’ll get from the 00’s. Lahm dispossesses almost any Winger/attacking midfielder and keeps a hold of the ball until the right time to give it to Xavi. Genius
 
I am really interested to see how harms and pnut's sides pan out.
 
sorry guys but it seems like theres a chance that i could end up stalling this for a while again. I suppose its some consolation that the uk put their clocks back and we didn't so only three hours behind GMT.

@Gio
 
So far the teams of Enigma/TRV, Skizzo/Pat, Sjor and Gio are all looking really tasty. Of course a lot of other awesome teams building up as well, I think this is the first draft without any explicit restrictions to the pool timewise or GOAT-wise I am following. That leads to some really great pairings and I am really looking forward to seeing how some of the teams will shape up.

yup. There is a straight line. I think @harms made the example on the previous page.

Personally I feel like this goes a bit against the spirit of the draft (was already thinking that when harms posted that pic). Obviously not pleading for a different ruling because several picks have been made in the same way but I was already confused by the Xavi -> Scirea jump. Personally I would have liked it better to reserve these jumps across water for the actual island nations such as GB, Iceland or Malta and such. As for the current rules it would be possible to jump from Germany to Russia via Kaliningrad, to Turkey across the black sea and over to Italy if you thread the needle properly and maybe involve the turkish part of Cyprus I guess. A bit too many technicalities and ways to be overly clever but that is just my to cents. Great draft otherwise!
 
England to Germany is a bit of a joke :mad: not bitter at all as Vogts was going to be my pick... :(

Turkey is in Asia, so no.

edit: shit, forgot that they are a part of the UEFA
