NEW YORK: ARGENTINA v BRAZIL June 9th!!!

Leon12 · Jun 12, 2012

Banega needs to grow up, otherwise he is going to waste his undoubted talent (he also needs to remember to put the handbrake on when he filling his car with petrol). Pastore is a real talent with the potential to be one of the best players in the world, I genuinely believe he could be an Argentinian Kaka, I think moving to PSG has done him a lot of good. It's just a crying shame that Sabella can't find a role for him in the starting line up. The Sosa thing really does wind me up, the guy is not good enough for the NT but keeps getting picked, it must be getting to the stage where Sosa is embarassed about it, he must know that he's not up to international standard and his team mates do as well.

ASF- What is the Sheep Draft team and why do you have Carrizo, Perfumo, and Labruna? LOL

How do you play in this?

It's a game we're playing in "The Beautiful Game" forum. Each round they give you a requirement to pick a player. For example, one round the requirement was to pick two players who wore the same number at the same world Cup. So on that round I picked Cruyff and Perfumo.

The catch is that if you pick the same player somebody else picked then that player becomes ineligible. You get three tries, and if you fail then they assign you a "sheep" (a player who meets the requirements but who isn't good) and you get stuck with him for your team. So what happens is that top players like Pele and Maradona most likely become ineligible because several drafters pick them. You have to look for players who are good but who you think the other drafters won't pick. I was lucky to get Cruyff, probably because it was a two-player round and there were few good matches for him and nobody else thought of Perfumo.

Here it explains it better:

Then at the end you show your formation and a brief strategy and then all the participants rank all the teams to select a winner.

Since you were using so many river players you should have chosen Beto Alonso since he was number 1 in 1978... Prob the only non gk to where number 1 and then you could have chosen Fillol (#5) as your goalie! No one would have chosen those jaja

I will give it a read and maybe try and play once
