I asked to be banned as running drafts is both tempting and tiring.
Running drafts isn't easy. I usually make it a point to design those I ran to have very minimal mod actions. The only time I broke my own rule was for Snakes & Ladders which I had to abandon. Sheep's are probably the hardest to run.
Interesting perspective, cheers. It's a bit of a pity, as there were really cool technical Eastern European teams throughout the last few decades. Do you think appropriate measures are taken nowadays to turn it around?
I don't know enough to say for sure about what initiatives are taking place in a lot of those countries. From what i can see of them in terms of general political state i'd guess not much. In Russia there's been media backlash over the pitiful European results of the last two seasons ( only one non-qualifying stage win so far this season) but i doubt anything will come of it.
Great. You're in the list.
Starting this now with high expectations.
Probably the best Gullit compilation up to date. What a player
I really like that he included a lot from his time as a defender and showcased his long passing etc. as well as the usual goalscoring/dribbling/headers etc.
Phenomenal

Yea, that was indeed a great watch.
Good work Jim, fully deserved!
Cheers, it's a good opportunity for some shoutouts. I'd love to revive the Dead Drafters btw, I'm sure I have time to watch stuff during the next two weeks.
It also crossed my mind to suggest we go on with it as it was very enjoyable.
Absolutely.
Now I'm tempted to ask for a new tagline
Erm, do I have your permission to quote this post in Caf headquarters? Like, just to see what the admins make of it — a fairly reasonable request in my opinion, but the higher-ups need to be consulted for broader picture stuff, you know.

Thanks for trying. I'll have a think about the Newbie draft stuff.
I tried running a newbie draft a year or so ago and there was hardly any traction. I don't mind helping out if you do run one with them though.
What type of draft did you run? What was the pool?
I didn't as there was like 2 or 3 that wanted to play. Think I was planning a sheep draft as its normally the most fun and engaging version that gives people something to do each day
Just noticed it a couple of days ago. Plan to watch it soon.
My thinking as well. What's interesting though is that, besides football, they also seem to focus on Pelé's superstardom in context of general developments in Brazil at that time.Oh, they’ve released it? I wanted to check it out. Judging by review it won’t provide any significant insight for those who already know his story, but who cares, I’m sure that they’ve secured some HD footage
Maybe drop a few lines here, if you want.
Bang on. It's such shit banter as well - the same joke getting repeated comment after comment - and has become more of a myth than anything Pele has claimed himself.
