I assume this is the proper thread for posting picks, and that I can post now! PICK #1 is NETHERLANDS.
Portista's time is up. Now an exception to the "highest FIFA ranked" team rule since it's one of Portitsta's favorite team... With the second pick overall, Portista69 selects Portugal Sicnarf pick via PM is next.
Via PM, irishwhisper selectsSweden Montreal United is next (let me just think about it afew seconds).
Staying true to my colours... Montreal United selects (for a second time) France That's it for day one picks...
