Brian Laudrup against one of the greatest club sides and defences of all time
Now instead of those Italian defensive greats, picture Ziege caagainst him

Redcafe Sheep Draft - Balu vs Polaroid
- Thread starter Moby
- Start date
Laudrup taking the piss out of Sir Bobby's WC semi-finalist
He glides over the turf so effortlessly, dribble, cross, shoot, outside, inside, you name it, he could do it all
Wow @Polaroid is on a brainwashing spree 
Ziege is a wingback here, perfectly suited to his role. Hummels is simply the wrong partner for Ferdinand and individually far from consistently great.
We are into the last hour.
This has Laudrup opening up the German defence as casually as opening a bag of chips
Laudrup is so under-rated here. If he was born twenty years later, he would be an absolute sensationWow @Polaroid is on a brainwashing spree
Seriously? He's a libero here, doing what he always did. I don't mind if you disagree about man-marking Zidane, fair enough, but that would never ever be Sammer's job. Said it before, it would always be Buchwald doing the man-marking job and Sammer playing centerback here, putting fires out whereever he sees fit. However, I trust Sammer, Effenberg and Kroos with Scholl helping out to contain Zidane and Redondo while my defense overall is a well working unit. I agree Pol will have more possession, far from a significant domination though, but that doesn't equal goals nor does it prevent me from scoring.
One of my favourite games at France 98
Youtube overkill
Can Pol equalize in 11 mins?
I think this has been one of my favorites threads in the different drafts. Usually it is either quite one-sided, or the discussion is about something rather pointless like bashing some player or whatever.
In this thread people have really given respect to all players and it have allowed for a much better discussion and everybody has participated in the tactical discussion in a great way.

It's tied?
Final min and a goal down
Looks like we've all passed on a great opportunity to get rid of arguably the strongest team in the draft. Zidane and Redondo will join other teams, but the manshafters will now remain together.
Tactical voting FAIL
had to squeeze some time to come vote. Seems worth it. Wife miffed. Over and out.

Can United score? They always score...
Too late! it is now Moscow 08 instead of Nou Camp 99Can United score? They always score...
Will send to Aldo within a min
I didn't want to talk bad about him before, because it's probably a bit harsh. But we still make jokes about Hoeness getting tricked into signing the wrong Laudrup
posted for those too young to have seen Laudrup
. That doesn't necessarily make him a bad player, the shadow of his older brother obviously is huge, but I don't think he ever performed consistently on the level you're trying to sell here. His performance at the Euro in '92 was brilliant obviously, I'm not denying that.And ffs, please don't let Neuer score the decisive penalty, that would be mean
.@Balu @Polaroid
The format is simple :
PM me 2 lists of 5 each for the penalties. Template :
"Player 1" : "Choice"
"Player 2" : "Choice"
"Player 3" : "Choice"
"Player 4" : "Choice"
"Player 5" : "Choice"
Replace the player names with 5 players from your team and replace "choice" by left, right or center.
And for the keeper as well as follows :
"Goalkeeper attempt 1" : "Choice"
"Goalkeeper attempt 2" : "Choice"
"Goalkeeper attempt 3" : "Choice"
"Goalkeeper attempt 4" : "Choice"
"Goalkeeper attempt 5" : "Choice"
Just replace "choice" in this one.

Urgh! Was just about to cast, but closed 4 minutes ago lol.
vote for?
But on in time to watch the pennies, good times!
I was going to vote Pol. But it was very very close.
Remember the direction you mention is with respect to the player.
So if you say "Player shoots right" it means to his right, and if you say "GK dives right" it means to his right. for example.
Was obvious but just making sure.

Maybe if I wasn't so mesmerized by the Redondo video I'd have had time to vote =P. Was reading the discussion and watching the vids for a good 30 mins lol
