That'd be quite something considering we've only had 2 full rounds.
Djemba Djemba is counted as 2 sheeps or maybe 3?

At least 2 I guess... everyone gets a squad of 12...
The results are in...
Sepp's raging at not making the cut.
As for Misael, well he's just glad he's not going to have the piss ripped out of him like his former team-mate and back-post photo-poser Luis Eyzaguirre.

Joga Bonito - FAIL (Misael Escuti)

Joga Bonito and Invictus/KM - you now have the opportunity to choose from the eligible pool of all nations.
Isotope and Marty1968/bleezy - you must choose an eligible German.
Tuppet and Edgar/Ctp - you must choose an eligible Italian.
You have 12 hours.
Bit brutal that one.
Well figures who the picked Italian is then... I'm pretty satisfied with our pick, especially in the turn of events. Too bad Matthaus is blocked, would have been perfect alongside Redondo. 
pick submitted.
Everyone online? Pls be so.
Could field a strong team from the blocked list already.
Misael Escuti looks a bit out of place in that company
Impeccable stache, though.
Its a fine effort indeed
Was on tenterhooks but
Sent.
I'd say the two lads both thought they were safe with Escuti. That's a tough break.
Oh dear
just 3?

well on my way to an all sheep XI.
Tuppet and Edgar/Ctp need to get off the same wavelength.
Feck sake.
@Joga Bonito with a cracking third pick there.
Some steals there as well. Zidane, Laudrup and Xavi in particular.
I knew it @Cal?
Balls on Joga to pick Thuram there!
I think Djembax2 will manage to give Laudrup all the freedom he needs.
Only realized ZZ was available after the comments in the thread. Missed Laudrup completely. Great bit of research I did
Completely missed Zidane and Laudrup too, didn't realise they turned eligible during the tournament. Brilliant picks.
ctp is coming over you...Well if it is Z² @ctp is going to kill me. I overruled him twice and got blocked on Baresi.
@KM How could you not know I had picked him ?
Maybe I'm that predictable, will continue to do so, hopefully no one blocks me so they get blocked themselves. I salute you for picking him. I hope you sell him well in this draft.
He fits the Philosophy - very much so.
I picked him once before, but didn't get to deploy him properly (bit out of position, or shoehorned, or whathaveya).
Only realized ZZ was available after the comments in the thread. Missed Laudrup completely. Great bit of research I did
I took a chance with Zidane as I assumed most people would have used the Wiki squads and that listed him as Age 33.
That was my reasoning when I suggested him to EAP. Block would have been really bad though, as the French pool was crap apart from Zidane and Thuram.
I thought that would be one of the obvious picks in the circumstances in round 3, the conversation a few pages ago made it quite clear that Zidane & Xavi were gone but I kind of assumed that Thuram and Hierro were both available.Balls on Joga to pick Thuram there!
So Joga got the good one and Invictus/KM got really unlucky going for the other.
For me that was the most obvious pick to be fair - Cal? with ZZ. I told @RedTiger as soon as I saw the criteria.Only realized ZZ was available after the comments in the thread. Missed Laudrup completely. Great bit of research I did
Very good picks this round, @Cal? lMO is a clear winner with @mazhar13 and @Joga Bonito after him.
I was really surprised EAP didn't go for English player. I mean really surprised.
