AFCON/Copa America Draft - Semi Finals 1 (again, again) - One hour only
« on: June 23, 2019, 09:32:22 pm »
Hello and welcome to the Africa Cup of Nations and Copa America semi final voting (again). Seeing as we drew the last semi final, we've decided to have a replay. With that in mind, the teams are below and the winner after an hour will progress through to the final.

I'm a balance man. Mikey has the names, but I prefer the overall strength across the field of Nick's team.

He also bribed me to say this.

I’d say almost the opposite. Nick has the names and I’ve got the balance / strength across the field. His side is very heavily weighted to his attack. Not much going on in the middle.

Love both teams really!  Can we kick Hazell out of the final?

Have these two play best 4 out 7 -----> with 10 new random voters?


This would be much more fair!   Long winded way of saying that I stuck with my initial pick of Mikey --- Pele/CB's along with Viva


Hey one more suggestion.  Soccer is a team sport --- teams versus individuals (where each individual has to contribute to 25% of the total draft overhaul.   And then, we vote on who picks the best Keepers/Strikers, best midfielders, best defenders, best partnerships -- along with the best team to see who can do the job and in the framework of a team shape.

Okay... done taking the pizz

You also have Antonio Valencia. That in itself is a crime against drafting.

Actually, while being a right prick (Antonio), I have always considered him a much bigger talent than many give him credit for --- been a long term international, played in multiple positions for the mancs (different skill sets - crossing, ball winning, work rate) and was a solid player -- not someone who got exposed over and over again.

Now, I am not saying he was world class, but he was not too far off being one as an international and good player on a top team for a decade.

He would be someone who does not get the credit he deserves (unlike the jacknuts like Ashley Young who is a poser douche).

People slating Mikey having Antonio Valencia are actually overlooking the fact that professional waste of space Jon Obi Mikel has also made the final. And he too is sort of Manc by association.

Shameful days.

This is my all time favorite gif (I think its when Sturridge gets #5 against the bitters).  Such pleasant memories.

Nick you deserved better!
