[Pat_Mustard]

Yeah.. he is probably the fav now.

Probably, although you and MJJ are still right up there. Tigana is a big upgrade on Deschamps imo.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

First match is by default a classic!

SF1: @The Stain vs @MJJ @crappycraperson

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Nesta/Costacurta vs Rio/Vidic

I don't mind playing whenever you like @diarm . But it would be great if we can do it today or tomorrow.

You sound surprised.

 

[crappycraperson]

Buckle down. I have sent the write up

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

This has been one draft of surprise upsets. diarm upsets anto, Tuppet upsets diarm, The Stain upset wins over MJJ/crappy. Exciting.

Two relatively newer players make it to the finals!

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

I believe it's @Tuppet's pick.

@diarm reinforcement alert!

 

[crappycraperson]

The Stain has this draft won unless Tuppet can stop him from the obvious pick. And I don't believe Tuppet can

It's been a great draft Edgar. I don't think there's been a bad match yet?

Fair play for designing and running it!

 

[Tuppet]

Anyone around to help me run a few ideas of them ?

Kohler - Romario - Hagi - Baggio

Picks fitting for a final I'd say!

The best 3 attackers of WC 94, still my favorite world cup (as it was the first one I watched), what a tournament for individual talent that was.

Mine too. That summer (United 4-0 Chelsea in the FA Cup Final and then USA 94) is when I went fully football mad!

Those 3 plus Bebeto, Stoichkov, Ray Haughton, mental goalkeeper kits and Diana missing the penalty! Best World Cup by a country mile. Actually last years was as close as I've come to enjoying one since.

My first to! I've rewatched the swedish summary of it countless times. Sweden beat Bulgaria 4-0 to finish 3rd. A young Henrik Larsson with the 4th goal. Brolin in the world team. Björklund/Patrik Andersson in defence. Thern/Schwarz in midfield. Kennet Andersson/Dahlin in attack. Ravelli saving 2 penalties in penalty shoot-out against Romania in the QF. We drew 1-1 to Brazil in the group after goals by Andersson and Romario. Then Romario scored with a header late in the semi against us to make the final. Amazing
