@Joga Bonito
Sounds like a fantastic pick, well done!He appeared in 3 consecutive finals, has two winners medals and a runners up medal. He was one of the best players at the 76 tournament, and assisted 4 of the 6 goals in the semi final and final.
Rainer Bonhof
In euro's terms alone, Brian should have gone before Michael in this draft. Fantastic in '92
I'm pretty sure he didn't play a single minute in 1972. Am I really wrong? He was in the squad, maybe even on the bench, but never actually played. Great player though, excellent pick.
Bullshit
agree.
also @Joga Bonito my post about Bergomi wasn't a complain, more just an observation. I had a lengthy conversation with Theon about him too.
Nope.
Yeah, at first, I thought that there was a mistake and bigred meant to pick Brian
But then I remembered his approachYup neither for 1980 iirc due to injuries but he was tremendous in the 76 Euros. This is the 3rd time Skizzo's picked someone I was about to or considering amongst another pick
.Pick coming soon.
Can't wait until I hear how people prove how good the older players played at the Euro's and see if their not just going on their reputions.
I thought he came on as a sub there, but just checked, it was someone else. But yes, 1976 was his tournament, fantastic performance no doubt.
Guys, be thankful that you have big red123 around, rather than everyone complimenting every single pick that has been made
Here we go again
Disagree there. I did post in that match thread too...but from what I read, he used to put in a phenomenal amount of work pre-match to study his opponents and analyse their tactics...not something you would expect in a thug, eh? He chose to be hard, but I believe that people just remember the tackles and forget the brain behind them.
If it was as simple as being a hardman to keep Maradona quiet, then anyone could have done it. Similar to Nobby Stiles on Eusebio. It takes much more than just roughness to compete at that level, which is overlooked.
i was to harsh when i said he didnt have any brain, i dont mean he is a fecking Skrtel or something.....
I said he was a good defender and he had certain qualities to be a good man-marker but he was nothing special, specially when you compare him to other greats.
And where did he stop Maradona? Italy as a team stopped Maradona and his argentina team because at the time Italy was much stronger and better side.
Maradona had a good game against Gentile until the end when he tired and had to force the issue because they were behind and it was only up to him if they will create something or not. The problem is people see Maradona and they expect from him to beat every team alone, he is only human ffs. If there was any other player this would be considered as a good performance and im not even a "fan" of Maradona, i rate Messi and Cruyff higher. We can analyze every situation on that video if you want because i really cant see what the other see, Gentile dominating Maradona. The only time he dominated was at the end....
It's just plain wrong to judge Gentile buy his two World Cup performances against Zico and Maradona - he was only asked to do a job of a free defender with a kill task a few times in his career. He earned his reputation by playing a side-back/stopper role and played 99% games of his career like that - and he wasn't kicking his opponents all game, obviously (like he did against those two). He used his wits and determination to prevail in a duel, like every other great defender.
No you're correct. I think he was only 20(?) at that tournament, and unfortunately didn't play in the matches with Netzer. I think he'll link up well with him though. Biased an opinion as that is
You have 3 pre 64 players to pick yourself, you know? Or are you only going to field 8 players?
It's like having a pre-pubescent Antohan about.
Yup neither for 1980 iirc due to injuries but he was tremendous in the 76 Euros. This is the 3rd time Skizzo's picked someone I was about to or considering amongst another pick
Pick coming soon.
Yeah. Mildly amusing that his best tournament was when they were runners up, and winners in the other two. Bad luck Bonhof.
I knew someone would be onto him soon. The other players I was considering are definitely guaranteed to be picked before my turn comes back around.
Who were the other two, out of curiosity? Netzer and who else?
The issue for you is that the performances of your players are rather well known - and some of them simply didn't perform brilliantly in the Euros.
i said at the start that i leave big possibility that im wrong.....and i explained this later, i dont mind Zico and Maradona dominating him(im not saying they did) because in a duel great defender vs great attacker you always bet on the attacker.
I also understand he was kicking them because he was asked to do that and it was part of the tactics, the thing i mind was the timing and his decison making when to kick them and when not.
Few of us seem to be online so let's get some pick going.
Nope. Im going to make up 3 names and post a extract from a Russian site that was written 60 years ago and see does anyone notice.
If he was making valid criticisms of players I wouldn't actually mind.
Remember when these were fun ?

I hope i play your team, 14 automatic votes.It is like Big Red took up a one man crusade to make a mockery of the draft and the voters (if he wins). I am intrigued to see how it ends up.
But Michael Laudraup didn't preform bad at the Euros.
And with Cruyff. He only played one game. The tournament starts in the Semi Finals for fecks sake. Most of the players have only played 2 Euro games around that timeframe.
Other than Big Red, I think the rest of us are ok Stobz. Don't let him spoil it. Treat him like you would Anto.
Haven't critised a player yet.
I'm not letting anything/one else in my bum. Twice was enough.
Correct my friend - but Laudrup didn't perform like LAUDRUP in the Euros. Additionally, Cruyff played one game and lost, and will be up against people who played the games of their lives and lead their teams to success.
See the issue for you here? I'm genuinely trying to explain
Come on @Joga Bonito , post your pick along with a huge wall of text as usual to kill this discussion
Most, if not all picks, are great, but too much compliment is unnecessary. Perhaps it is just me
I am keen to see big red123 result in this draft. Some managers may have already started thinking to vote against him
DER TIGER
Part of the German team which was on the cusp of Euro glory but for one Great Dane standing in their way. Was a proverbial one man engine room for Germany, holding together a light weight and an overly attacking midfield together and shielding a fantastic 5 men backline before being aided by Sammer in the knock out rounds.

. So you bent over for Anto for votes didn't you!Nah we are a nice bunch. I've never really seen voting against a manager.
Worse, I drew him in the first sheep draft and had little choice but to take what he was giving.
