Draw seems aboute right. I'd say let both of them play against the 3rd team and the 2 best teams on GD go through. Excellent game.

I was worried as I voted against you a last few times and really didn't wanted to be my vote.

but I know you are a kind man, cheers.
aaaaa, wrong!!!
I never vote in bepo matches because I think I have prejudice!! Ha!!
His team was great, but it was your presentation that I liked, so stop.

Diego thread needs you.

I love that answer like nothing happen in the other thread :lol:

Out of my personal hat of not giving a feck. Kudos.

Gio was always Scottish. But theon? wtf, I thought he was built and groomed in the toughest era of Serie A.

Quite a degradation must say.
Nope, not really. I'm pretty sure that he's from England.

show the PM that you deleted @Ecstatic

I don't give a single feck but this is beyond ridiculous. I change my vote because I thought Chester doesn't have a flaw in his team especially after gio post.

In my Diego corner or a ban I will go but feckin hell.
You first sent a pm saying you were sorry for changing your vote at the last moment to make it a draw.

Then, I replied that there were no worries and I was vaccinated since a long time. I wrote that I saw several odd moves in six years such as Tuppet voting against me in a single game 4 times with different aliases.

I mentioned Theon because he did like you, voting for Gio in the last minutes to change the outcome.

Again, there is no issue, just provided some examples :)

I once changed my vote in the last 5 minutes as the voters were hidden and the scores were 1 vote apart.

I only did that for the laughs and not to change the result though. I immediately changed my vote back to the original team I voted for of course a couple of mins before deadline.

I think it was @harms maybe. Not sure if it was noticed :lol:

A never-nude? I thought he just liked cut-offs.
Kaka's positioning and the pitch-narrowing effect is the main reason I voted for Chester, whose jigsaw pieces all fit together more seamlessly. That said I think the trio of Platini/Shevchenko/Kaka has the potential to work together well as a unit. As you say, Kaka is a touch more experienced on the other side, and started off in Brazil as a right-winger, before moving inside. To be fair I think he has many of the tools to play as a wide forward, but his x-factor to me was always about those injections of pace in clustered central areas.
That was the clincher for me too. Ecstatic's squad looks tailor-made for an Xmas Tree or suchlike though if he manages to add a more orthodox attacking LB.

My clincher was Chester has two attacking fullbacks, thus render Beckenbauer to be less effective (going forward).

Was genuinely not sure whether we should vote for ourselves or not - so sorry about any confusion there.

Facchetti is alright in that regard - being a bit of a monster who can plausibly cover his flank both defensively and offensively. But, yeah - Nelinho can hardly be sold as defensively solid given the overall quality of the teams in this draft. Which is why I tried to replace him.

Did anyone pick up Bergomi, by the way?

Because I have asked Mike to do so
What I meant by "coin toss" was to have a neutral do the randomizer thing: you don't deserve to lose the match, if anything I should play Physio given that I actually fecked up by not voting for myself.

No, that's fine really + agreed with Mike.

I am going to log off now and be back for a game with @Physiocrat tomorrow then

Good evening

Bergomi wasn't picked.

Have to say that against yours or Ecstatic, mine doesn't stand any chance. What an unlucky matchup.

There you go - bloody hell: if I had followed my gut and stuck to my ultra offensive approach from the first two rounds, I'd have ended up with Facchetti and Bergomi flanking Schwarzenbeck/Beckenbauer.
