[jones]

One ugly mf, beard game is an utter embarrassment, Bayern scüm, massive Napoleon syndrome and most likely a racist vile piece of dogshit as well. But one of the best right backs this century, versatile as he can play CM to a very high level, instrumental in a treble the same year and with a decent tourney in 2020

Joshua Kimmich 2020

Second pick yeah no need for a proper intro just the undisputed best player in the world, his face below is literally mfw thinking how you all missed him until now lmaooo

Kylian Mbappe 2020

@db10_therza @albakos yallah

 

[albakos]

Xherdan Shaqiri 2020
3G + 1A + that Albanian isshhhhh you get me?

Andriy Shevchenko 2012
2G for a crap Ukraine team and that little balon d’or thingamibob

@LookingForEric next

 

[A_G]

Randomiser for @LookingForEric

Vladimir Smicer 2000

Gary McAllister 1992

 

[A_G]

@Blood on the Tracks and I are going with:

Thomas Meunier, 2020

1 goal and 2 assists as Belgium made it to the quarterfinals, good depth piece on the right side

Jon Dahl Tomasson, 2004

3 goals and 1 assist in four games, made the you know what of the tournament as well

@Juan Matas Beard @Gooner416

 

[Juan Matas Beard]

Thomas Gravesen 2004

Real Madrid Galactico and legend.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, 2000

Fresh off winning United a treble. Baby faced assassin.

@2Smokeyy @Oxeki

 

[2Smokeyy]

Sinisa Mihajlovic (2000)

We’re adding another talented **** but this time it’s a very good CB during those years with a wonderful left foot. IIRC only Pirlo has scored as many freekicks as him in Serie A and we’ve got the both of them. He scored a hattrick of them in one game



Angelos Charisteas (2004)

Had to shake my head at some of the strikers picked ahead of him. It's a EUROS draft and the don who scored 3 goals including a winner in the final to secure Greece the trophy wasn't picked until now was he in team of the tournament? Of course he was.



@Sebastes

 

[A_G]

On behalf of Sebastes:

Miroslav Kadlec, 1996

Aleksandr Anyukov, 2008

@bingobob

 

[A_G]

Picking for Bob too now apparently

Kim Vilfort, 1992

Jan Koller, 2004

@Sapient Hawk @Paperino

 

[Paperino]

Kari Arnason - Iceland - Euro 2016

Made Kane look like a useless plumber.



--------
Nihat Khaveci - Turkey - Euro 2008

@Makingtrax @blaze_of_glory

 

[Makingtrax]

The old joke, which footballer will jump in the river to save your dog:
DAN PETRESCUE, 2000, Romania, Midfield, Chelsea



ROMAN PAVLYUCHENCO, 2008, Russia, Forward, Sp**s


@SA Gunner and @Uncle Good-Advice

 

[Uncle Good-Advice]

Joe Allen - Wales 2016

Has all the accolades needed:
Born
Made to the semis
Made to the team of the tournament
Welsh




Robert Jarni 1996

Menace down the left and member of a good 1996 Croatia team.



@Clrnc next

 

[Clrnc]

Robert Prosinecki (1996) - the original Modric. The king of Croatian midfield

Franck Ribery (2012) - Needless to explain...

@Taylor Gang Gunners @RunTheTrap

 

[Rex Stone]

So the randomiser is back again this time for @Taylor Gang Gunners and @RunTheTrap

They have taken Alan Dzagoev - Russia - 2012 which is legal.

In a fall to Earth after four years earlier he was their one bright spark bagging three goals in just three games and at that time looking like an heir to Arshavin.



And they have three picks because of ANOTHER illegal choice this time a second Welsh player. They’ve been given…

Konstantinos Katsouranis - Greece - Euro 2004

Long-standing Greek stalwart who could play in either midfield or defence but think the 2004 edition where he ended up lifting the trophy is the way to go.



Xaver Schlager - Austria - Euro 2020

Good midfielder who got a move to Leipzig off the back of his Euros displays.

Solid midfield depth choice for sure.



Tore Andre Flo - Norway - Euro 2000



One time hyped Chelsea player who became one of the worst PL flops of all time with Sunderland.

@Clrnc up again buddy.

 

[Clrnc]

Gheorghe Popescu (1996)



And

Andrei Kanchelskis (1992)​

And last outfield pick since everyone already had a German player. European Championships legend...

Jurgen Klinsmann (1996)

Scored 3 goals, won the championship, team of the tournament. Included in FIFA XI 96, runner up for Ballon d'Or and FIFA POTY. What else can you ask for from a last pick?

 

[SA Gunner]

Alright, we now quality depth in midfield and upfront, for later on in the competition.

Erik Mykland, Norway, Euro 2000



Padrag Mijatovic, Yugoslavia, Euro 2000



@Makingtrax and @blaze_of_glory, over to you

 

[Rex Stone]

DRAFT PAUSED FOR THE BAYERN GAME


@Makingtrax and @blaze_of_glory you are under no obligation to post until after the final whistle tonight.

However if you won't be online to choose afterwards PM your picks to me before you go offline and I'll make them after the game.

 

[Makingtrax]

ANDERS LIMPAR, 1992, Sweden, Midfield, Arsenal


JAN VERTOGHEN, 2020, Belgium, Defender, Sp**s,

@Sapient Hawk and @Paperino

 

[Paperino]

Mihails Zemlinskis - Latvia - Euro 04

Played in a back 4 that kept a clean sheet against Germany and never was embarrassed in a difficult group.

@bingobob

Glen Kamara - Finland - Euro 2020

 

[Rex Stone]

So I was wondering if someone would actually make this pick but fair play @bingobob is clearly fully committed to winning this no matter what...

I think due to potential legal consequences for myself and the forum if I say too much about this pick, I will keep it short and sweet.

Gylfi Sigurðsson - Euro 2016 - Iceland​

He's picked a much less "controversial" pick up next though and it's one of the Swiss heroes from Euro 2020. He's taken someone who was a rock at the back and also had some penalty shootout heroics as well.

Good pick for this late in the game.

Fabian Schär - Switzerland - Euro 2020​

@Sebastes you can make your pick now if you want to but can do it after the Bayern game no problem.

 

[Sebastes]

Kasper Dolberg - Denmark - Euro 2020

Started as the bench option but still managed 3 goals (I think?) and eventually became the starting attacker in a Denmark that surprised everyone

Jan "Janne" Eriksson - Sweden - Euro 1992

Finally I get to make this vintage pick! Centerback that shone bright and scored two goals to take Sweden to the semi-finals

Game paused!

@Oxeki @2Smokeyy Your turn after the game (or tomorrow?)
