Dunno.. Annah's call.. there was some discussion regarding the rules
How does this affect the best loser thingy now? We've had two teams going out on penalties now.
He has Pires, Brian and Michael Laudrup and Christian Vieri, not Valencia/Young/Rooney/whatnot.That's not a straightforward route to goal. Whipping in crosses is a mixed bag. On the best of days, you could get a couple of goals from crosses. On the worst of days, you could get this:
Torn shirt implies he couldn't have him beat otherwise. You have Samuel there at Inter, not Silva.A prime Drogba could not escape the death grip of Lúcio and Samuel, both aerially and on the ground. Neither could Ibrahimovic -- Lúcio tore his shirt in an aerial duel, for example.
As I said, I fully expect Raul to drop into a support role centrally and Zidane to largely play wide so I was comparing the two I believe will actually play as the referencia de area relative to the CB pairs dealing with them. Of course it isn't the only thing happening in the game (I actually think it will be Raúl scoring, not Sánchez).Trippy has one major goalscoring threat in Vieri, I have two in Sánchez-Raúl. I'm not exactly sure why you would compare the aerial prowess of the three when Raúl was 1.77m, Sánchez was 1.75m, and Vieri was 1.86m.
Great defender, but relative to Vieri you would prefer Samuel. Of course, relative to Laudrup, you want Silva. Again, I was very clear in that first post I was referring to cb pairs vs. strikers at hand.I'm not sure how you can argue that Silva might have trouble playing alongside any other central defender. He's done it all.
It is precisely that Lucio tendency to go AWOL which I think could cost you if you ended up chasing the game. A single great season with Mourinho doesn't change the player he was throughout his career.I recall Lúcio playing alongside a younger Demichelis. The younger version of Lúcio always used to leave position and create gaps in defence when he ran up the field, a bit like David Luiz.
Already did that, what do you take me for?I think to be on a safe side both should send in 10 instead of 5.
Oh, there I was replying and the game had finished.
My bad, trippy.
If only you were here at the right timeWould have voted rpitroda. Much better look to the team.
Can't believe your team went to penalties, a monster of a team really. Back four which looks hard to upgrade even, three midfielders of the highest quality, wingers who are among the best non-tp wingers available.If only you were here at the right time
Apparently people didn't see it that way!Can't believe your team went to penalties, a monster of a team really. Back four which looks hard to upgrade even, three midfielders of the highest quality, wingers who are among the best non-tp wingers available.
Yeah, not only does it lower the chances to win - but it makes it really boring as being there commenting is what makes it fun.Apparently people didn't see it that way!
What I find more frustrating is that you wait a week for someone to finally do their bit and submit their tactics after disappearing then suddenly and luck dictates that it'd be the day I couldn't comment much! @Pippa
Good game by the way, congrats @Pippa and good luck in the pennies :P.
That is pretty rare indeed. Usually when it is an even game, one side has the support of the scan-voters and the other has the majority of the "real" voters.Also looking at the votes, both teams have a lot of support from the "hardcore" voters (those who vote regularly and take an interest in whats happening, rather than the quick glance voters). Rarely have I seen that happen I must admit. Shows it was actually a fairly decent game which divided opinion.
Yeah that is surprising. As someone who voted for you're team I thought it will be won in a decent margin(like 5-6 votes), but apparently most "hardcore" voters voted for Pippa.Also looking at the votes, both teams have a lot of support from the "hardcore" voters (those who vote regularly and take an interest in whats happening, rather than the quick glance voters).

I think it was dead even really in terms of the hardcore voters. 12-11 to Rpitroda when I counted them against each other but I did it fast.Yeah that is surprising.

Zidane is a big vote swinger on cafI think both teams are really strong; individually and collectively. I thought that rpitroda´s United player would win the game, but surprisingly they didnt.
Indeed. And I also think Pires and Vieri in particular aren't so highly rated here. Laudrup is rated highly but also potentially below what he should be. He is up there with Zidane, if not then he isn't far off.Zidane is a big vote swinger on caf
I'm not surprised. If you looked at both teams and were told it was a draw you would expect the team with a United back 5 to have gained more scan votes.Yeah that is surprising.

I agree. Pens is a fair result here if you ask me. No clear winner IMOI'm not surprised. If you looked at both teams and were told it was a draw you would expect the team with a United back 5 to have gained more scan votes.
I still don't have a clue who would have won and have a feeling I didn't give Raúl his fair dues. Felt it was a draw so voted towards that.
On the caf? No, he isn't.Indeed. And I also think Pires and Vieri in particular aren't so highly rated here. Laudrup is rated highly but also potentially below what he should be. He is up there with Zidane, if not then he isn't far off.
If you look at accolades, and the way he was commented on, he is. Voted the best player in Spain for a 25 year period which included some of the best players born. Granted that is just one thing, but if people think Cambiasso and Alonso can do a job on him they are off their nut. Alonso is a great player, but we aren't talking about Makalele here. His strengths lie in different places.On the caf? No, he isn't.
I do agree Raul doesn't always get the credit he deserves. He was a marvellous player.I'm not surprised. If you looked at both teams and were told it was a draw you would expect the team with a United back 5 to have gained more scan votes.

You are trying to convince the wrong person. I have had Laudrup and Zidane before and know full well which one I needed to sell and which one I was better off shutting up because he was already sold over and above how much I rated him.If you look at accolades, and the way he was commented on, he is.

That's a brilliant idea, crappy.Pippa - O
