    lol, it's hard for me to say this because I hate Barca, but Messi now is the best player in the world. (used to call Ronaldo that)

    I opened up the draft thread, but I'm not using deadlines until tomorrow at noon EST. Once it hits noon, whoever is up has 8 hours to pick and then they can be skipped.

    Scoring will be by vote. So part of the task is getting a strong team together and part of the task is polling public opinion. Having done these on other sites, I've seen Brazilian posters make a team of guys most of us had never heard of that now would have easily been the best team assembled.
