not the best teams on D but very capable on O with Baggio - Maradona - di Stefano the best trio as i said before. jasi's samuel - passarella defensive duo is very good and compatible with one strong defender and a small quicker leader with great positioning in passarella. they would have fantastic chemestry if you ask me. waseem midfield is better he did a great job there. not the best wing backs in the competition for both guys.
overall if you ask me both sajo and dunksby have teams in the same tier as the two above, with sajo the best team in the competition. in this matchup i'll go with Jasi

One of my favourite moments in football, not for the goal, which is awesome in its self, but the "celebration" and as he's on my team I felt the need to post this:

but it's a matter of matchup not who has the best team which i don't know if some of you understand. overdrive wins this one i think he has a more balanced team, a more complete team overall with great advantage on the wings causing the opposing wing backs problems and very few chances of advancing in the oposing third.

If Mourinho played Ashley Cole on the right wing next match you would probably think someone put acid in his coffee.
I'm tired and since I lost I don't wanna go into detail anymore, playing a position and being effective in that position is all about a player's characteristics of play and his physical attributes. I drafted the most versatile and physically gifted team of the draft to be able to mess with my line up and still get high performance.
About your example, I just have this to say: Philip Lahm.

Re: Football/soccer all-time draft tournament(organized matchups)
Overdrive.
It's a tie for me really, because they both could dominate the game, depending on the night: incredible talent (puskas+messi, wtf) vs great team concept, that total football with '90s interpreters. Could go either way.
The tie breaker is maybe a detail, the Lippi pick is just not consistent with the type of players.

Overdrive's defense will be torn apart by iamgine's striking force, no questions on this matchup. I dunno how Waseem got to the semi-finals, he will be just overwhelmed by Jasi's team. Never thought the last four would be such matchups to decide though.

Thanks for giving props to my team, it's good seeing someone gets how great those 11 could be even in a hypothetical situation like this.

Re: Football/soccer all-time draft tournament(organized matchups)
First of all I didn't think I'd make the finals. I thought dunksby would win against me.
Now onto the finals. As I already explained I won't adjust. I hate teams that make the finals and then shake up their tactics according to the opponent and then lose in a bad fashion.
I think my team with its current setup could pull an upset vs Jasi's, but as it's a vote instead of a real match it's very unlikely.
