Back in my day it was Manuel Almunia
Zoff is the second best goalkeeper ever 
Zoff was so good they named my brother after him and I'm not even Italian
Alright Ceferin said Buffon is the goatkeeper
What even is this award for
Fr? Your brother's name is Dino?
Yep
idk but I read somewhere that they're gonna award Ronaldo too
It's kinda ironic how he won this award when he hasn't won the UCL once
Constantine and Alexander
Neuer :)
Two emperors
(were they emperors?)
Lmfao
He gets to bet whenever he wants now
Two historical leaders
Constantine yes. Alexander was just him
Conquerer, god emperor, etc
If he’s low on money he could just sell this trophy
Damn what is this Juve meetup
CR7 with the Juve shirt nice
Article in question Johto
https://www.today.it/gossip/buffon-d-amico-bacio-vacanza-grecia-foto-su-chi.html
They’re giving Cristiano the top goal scorer award
We lost the most finals that's gotta warrant some trophies 
For the old format I guess
Aye Ronny
MY GOAT
Ronaldo is dying inside lmfao
Ceferin really said "he ain't playing UCL no more"
Ronaldo bru
Enough yapping and get to picking
Why are they grooming him back into it
Messi and Ronaldo fanboys are easily the most annoying people on the internet
They're just insufferable
Agree
He’s gonna punch Cristiano for the joke about his non recorded goals
Makes sense tbf
He’s gonna plug his YouTube channel
What the hell is the president award
Chad, very based
The concept of me didn't exist when he played
Certain Italian clubs still only have one star…
Others have two stars with 19 league titles...
That pic is so iconic
I can’t listen to any of this so I have no idea when the actual draw starts
I didn't know you were an enjoyer of '82 Italy Balkan lol
Yeah they were ultra popular in Greece
Our brothers 
You'd kick our ass BAD in basketball
Uh oh TE time
That said Johto
Balkan gonna go for swift 👀
My favourite Italian player ever is Francesco
Totti?
The one and only
Del Piero better 
Get to the draw
Do you know about the "spoon" moment from the 00 euros?
@restive vector @warm kestrel https://x.com/texplayerdev/status/1829180616124117196?s=46
Sheeeesh
Looking goooood
The website looks so dumb
Probably
Before there were groups that you could easily see
Not off the top of my head
Now they have each individual team’s match ups
Well well well if it isn't a Rainieri clone
Fake Ranieri is back let’s gooo
Basically we call the panenka "il cucchiaio" (the spoon) here, and there's this story in the penalty shootouts of the Italy-Netherlands game in euro 00 were basically Totti, facing Van Der Sar (who's tall as fuck) said "mo je faccio er cucchiao" (that's a very roman way to say that) which can be translated to "I'm gonna chip it". He chipped it and we won the shootout
Why is that?
I missed the part where they explained it
Because everybody plays a random assortment of teams
Me after we draw Atletico
From the pots of course
I reckon the technology fails
So it’s not easily structured to where you know who is playing who for the whole group stage
Yeah
That makes sense
This gon take another 20 minutes to go through everybody
When the technology fails and they draw Arsenal vs Arsenal
They should've showed Lautaro skyrocketing the penalty vs Atletico for Inter
We’ll get him in 27-28 then ok
Leipzig do not belong there
Leipzig 🔥
You wish
Pot 2 is cooler
True
I agree and I'm definitely not biased
Same
City
A part of me wants this whole thing to fail
They’re doing team by team
This is gonna take awhile
Yeah no this is
^
What the FUCK is this draw
Ah
Fuck me
WHAT
We’re playing City
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Inter here we go
I didn’t know they were doing them all at once
A lot to take in at once
Nvm at the end it was worse
Ohhh it works this way
WHAT IS THIS
Away fuck me lol
What is this easy ass shit
Bayern.
We got just City so far Neek
Please no Madrid
Madrid surely
Bayern
We’re finally getting the Inter Arsenal match everybody was begging for
NO bayern I'm free
Wow
This is a lot to take in
WE WANT LIVERPOOL
Have to review later
CHIESA COMEBACK GAME WE WILL BE THERE
Leipzig
Well well well if it ain't the energy drink cunts
Leipzig nice
WHAT IS THAT
Thats stacked lol
Wow Aston villa bayern
I'll take that honestly
What is their atmosphere like
Pool,Inzer,Juve and Atleti
It could've been much worse
Is it the shittiest in Germany or what
Dortmund huh
That’s actually very good for pot 1 picks I guess
Arguably the best and the worst team of the pot
Barça AND Real
Ag
BVB vs Bologna peak cinema
lol
Please not Real
LOOOOL
Atalanta too
That's easy too
Omb
Wtf
1%
Flick's Barca
YABBA DUBBA DOOOOO
Man this is a long process
It’s at home for Barca unfortunately
There we land
Mudded
Real Madrid
No yabba dabba do
NO NO EVERYTHING BUT REAL
Dortmund Real
Holy shit lmfaoooooo
Thank God
Liverpool at Anfield
BVB, Liverpool, Milan and Atalanta
Woah wtf
Well Arsenal avoids Real Madrid
Madrid have a hard lineup
Arsenal will play either Liverpool or PSG then?
Even the pot 4 teams are good compared to the others
Liverpool
I don’t think teams from the same country can play
Up to two teams from the same nation can play against each other
Bring it on PSG
That's bad
Yeah we got PSG
Oh dear
All these years I’ve wanted PSG so I could watch Mbappe, the season he leaves we get them FFS
I thought it was from the other nations
Fuck you ronaldo
holy shit
I won’t lie, this UCL format is a tad confusing
PSG last
LMAO WHAT IS THIS
Milan got done so bad lmfao
PSG tough
psg in the mud
PSG are fucked lol
Wow that is tough for PSG
Oh ok maybe PSG have it worse
City,Bayern Atleti and us
Whats' going on
So we have City and Leipzig from pot 1
Here we go
Honestly could be worse
This UCL format is stupid lol
it is
Man my brain
Yeah so far we can't complain
Can't keep up
we are getting cooked sadly
Aye thats us
GIVE US INTER
I’m glad I’m not the only one
I do not want to face Leverkusen
I do
I don’t think we can draw teams from Italy
Compared to the previous one and now, it’s a headache
We can draw one
Nah Leverkusen will be fine
Just an awful idea
of all the draw why did we get real madrid 
Atletico
Good draws for them
Leverkusen
so every team has a different match-up
Can't complain
Thsts easy
Atlético got a very affordable draw
We ball
There’s no home and away for both teams now. Didn’t realize
Yeah it’s very hard to follow
Atalanta
You’re not gonna know who’s playing until they actually do
Oh my
We got lucky with our home draws
Real and Barca
That top 3 is intense
Atalanta Arsenal hype
OH
Not easy for Atalanta
aight
Brugge :
NICEEEEE
Let’s go
honestly feels like some teams are gonna get fucked
I guess we got lucky with the draws
Kenan Yildiz hattrick we will be there
Here you go
Arsenal time
PSG inter

Not bad
So far we really can't complain
I thought we were gonna get Arsenal there
Nicee
Benfica
Even Red Star they got away not home 😭
Time for redemption after 22/23
Benfica alright
Ac Milan
I don’t like being last in the pot
Very mid for AC Milan
Oh that’s easy
OUR TURN
this is kinda silly
Not villa
Not bad
FUCK
Aston villa
2 Italians and 2 French
honestly wouldn't hate it as much if the play-in thing didn't exist
Interesting
The bottom 4 are hard to determine who's hard
Bro I got 2 right
It feels like a lot of one off teams lmao
There’s a play in?
where can I see the other draws
I didn’t even know
Lmao
yeah
And they won’t have either of the guys we gave them LOL
Good luck to Juve players going from Turin to Birmingham
May god be with them
Ig not Douglas Luiz
Are the matches out?
Still going
Not bad
Shakhtar up
Home games are gonna be tough
It's always not bad with these
Imagine Motta’s first ever UCL game against City
Current Bologna and current Girona are so goofy
Fixtures are amazing 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Who's better to get
I honestly don’t care about the rest of this tbh
I'll be surprised if current Bologna can get more than 4 points
Yeah same I turned it off lol
hard to keep up with who got who

Not the easiest draw but I think you're the favorite vs every team
Yeah except maybe Inter, PSG fell off
But oh well
We should get top 8
Still old format is better
I can't keep up
What is the last place that’s automatic qualification
So gutted we didn’t get Real Madrid
And how many do play ins
Rest bro
Ah fuck
9-24 play ins
I would be surprised if we get that
Shakhtar don’t wanna see me
I'm glad we didn't get Bayern
Hoping shakhtar take Zinchenko home with them
Zinny what are you doing here, the soldiers need artillery men
Arsenal, make my day by signing Garcia and a winger
Please not that bum Sterling
Or that abuser Coman
Lille are fucked lol
pot 4 on, tv off
damn PSG Juve Madrid
Pot 3 TV off
Damn 😭
Which club?
You would think Juve had 3 Georgians on their team
Stuttgart
Brither where is that Napoli energy
For real
Those are VFB stuttgarts opponents, Bundesliga runner up last season
Wait now I have to check the matchups for every team 
Napoli with the NOTHING in europe 🔥 🔥
only 1 year of this format and we get the real thing next year
Runner up and you are in pot 4?
Truly one of the Scudetto winners of all tiem
Crazy
wdym
Ah
Lille vs Real Mbappe vs Mbappe
My bad
Me after we avoid Bayern and Madrid, and get a fairly easy group after a day of worry
@proud coyote I mentioned earlier but are we changing pick time to 1hr?
This format means
More games for Saka to play

This format means more confusion
Needed this thank you
@dim ledge you're on the clock
Can’t wait to see how spicy he gets with this pick since he was hyping it up
I thought you’d take shakir
But Coleman makes sense
Right
Jets defense
LOL
After r5
What is this new format
I was gunna draft Shakir!!! But something told me Coleman this morning
Oh my god that’s horrendous
Did you see psg
Our pot 2 opponents are probably stronger than theirs
PSG got it tougher I think
How were pots decided?
Barca got Bayern again

I ain't following serie a
What happened to Milan
I don’t mind the rest of the teams though
Not looking great
Milan is one of the many teams that just show
Pre season doesn't mean shit
why. They still got all their players? Piori their manager?
I swear they are the most cursed club
too many mickey teams
I heard Fonseca should be fine, at least better than Piori?
no
They bought Emerson Royal so it goes to show their level rn
Pioli was a terrorist
But wasn't that bad
Fonseca worse
Seems weird that league champions are in second pot
Yes that's why I got no idea
They used rankings probably
Agreed their team is just mid for a team looking to compete for the Scudetto
coefficient
Milan stink
then again idk how we are pot 1
And their transfer window has been horrible
Coefficient innit?
True
I still think they might get top 4
But yeah Scudetto charge is dead
Pretty sure our window is worse lmao
Juve has looked amazing granted didn't face the best teams but
No players is better than shit players
They should get top 4
we are 18th in uefa coefficient, we went down a lot
Combined
and yall got Chiesa
Actually your TW was amazing for the outgoings lmao
Balkan keeping us in suspense
wondering what we gonna do with that surplus tho
imma hope/cope we making some last minute good signings the next two days 
You are still looking for a 6 but Edwards is a secretive man
You never know
99% sure he had these plans all season
I absolutely hate this new champions league concept
All offseason*
Sorry got busy
So I'd be hopeful
Picking soon

Saka limp might turn into Saka doing the worm
Swift
@honest umbra otc
Fates up
And yeah. Was heavily debating Kamara
But I don't trust the saints + I smell a Kamara fall off
Possibly
I think Chicago are gonna lean heavily on swift with the rookie qb
Just be mindful of Khalil Herbert and roschon Johnson
I picked
@torn gale ur turn king
yes sir, he’s gonna do the thing
What a goal
Girona
Pues para ser un delantero sin gol, vaya charrazo ha metido Abel Ruiz
@willow galleon https://x.com/mlb/status/1829221087693156619?s=46
Wow
That’s crazy
Arthur Mel-
Please take him for free
he’s still around?
RAY PICKED KEON COLEMAN?
Yeah kinda
I'd rather still have Lobotka as the playmaker instead of him
Granted neither great options as playmaker sbut
Yea
😭
Allen has to throw to someone I guess
The opposing team 
Side note
a few fun facts about Deshaun Watson:
he has a $73,000,000 cap hit in 2025 and 2026… most of any player in NFL history
also was the most inaccurate QB in the NFL last yr
also threw 3 of the most hilarious…
💖 887 🔁 86
Me five drinks in at the live draft:
💖 638 🔁 68
@dim ledge cooking his picks
You wanted him?
@torn gale you’re OTC friendo
You just trying to butter me up for something now
heavens no
I think hes bad
What can I say
I'm a genius
So far the only pick I'm not 1000% happy with is Swift. Could've gone either way
Did you want Nico for the third round?
Just curious to see what you wanted from the third
I disagree. I don't think Coleman is bad. But definitely too high at that pick independent of being possible WR1
I did...until Mahomes was drafted
Oh yeah Euge did do that
Had that not occurred probably would've gone WR like Dell
But I wanted Lamar
He would've been r4
Which I got LaPorta in. Insane value
Unless he vastly underperforms, I see a 900 to 1k yd season from him. I think Allen will feed him
I think you taking Lamar triggered Zoro to take hurts
It did
So maybe he would have been there
Can't take that risk
Lamar is too good to leave it up to luck when 2/4 elites are already gone
@rustic ore
Flowers nice
Appreciate you
I am a man of the people
@rustic ore back on
Time to cook my next pick
I did not think Kamara would fall to me
Y'all ain't ready
@honest umbra your turn
@smoky fable watch out for this one
Joey brrr
@dim ledge ur turn
AHEM
Why does burrow have a pic of slim shady on his profile lol
Cause he looks like him with that goofy ass dye job he did
Rome, nice
@modest totem otc
All Bears offense lol
Balk is a closet Chicago fan
The last 8 picks happened in 5 mins lmao
We’re all on
Talent wise or fantasy wise?
Yes
Wow Rome?
Yep
That did come out of left field
That was my secret pick
May he bring you that title
@hollow wind ur turn
I was staying quiet to get him
I love rice too
Well thank god I took Nabers then
Except he’s an idiot in driving
Won’t be suspended though this year
Yeah
Yeah I was kinda shocked too
Damn good pick
Did Ray pick?
Yeah she did
Yes goooo
You got so lucky lol
Couldn't take another lion
Technically rayyy reached for Coleman
Euge had a pretty damn good draft
Balkan did not reach for Odunze
It was a good pick
And fate has a burrow chase stack
Oh Evan picked Stevenson
I was keeping quiet about him too
That running back list is horrid
Good lord now
I had to get a somewhat decent back after I looked at what’s left 😭
Eh there's still some value
Yea lol
Just risky value
I see that Burrow Chase stack
Brother our O Line tho

There's some decent players... but when I think about the teams their on I'm like 😬
He started to look good towards the end of last season iirc, but yea, patriots ain’t helping much lol
I hope for your sake Evan he goes off
you're up monster
Oh sorry forgot to ping ya juba
@celest zephyr OTC
Monster has the homer stack
was going to pick kyler on the next swing
I thought about Kyler too
Y’all think I can grab a TE or is it cooked?
njoku isn't bad
Oh Balkan picked Odunze, hope he does well
a lot of my TE drafts have been lower end guy like Njoku or Schultz + Hockenson
I went for the wholesome one piece football themed pfp
was gonna do kincaid if he made it back to me
wasn’t meant to be
njoku is good you just have to trust watson lol
I wanted Kincaid over Kittle too ngl, but juba yoinked him
but I don’t trust Watson ever
Some of the positions are absolutely awful
Tall ask
i dont think watson completely washed yet
That man will get hurt again if he doesn’t stink it up
He’s pretty bad
You going to take Dak or Caleb?
You do need a qb
we'll see
Will a rich last more than 4 weeks?
whats herbert questionable for?
Along with his worse receiving core and Roman’s offense which is running the damn ball
That is a qb option. Wonder who you’ll choose. Some good ones out there
Blubrus making the pick
@slate lance
Scary Terry
I really hope for Terry’s sake that Daniels pans out well
Man deserves one good QB in his career
@honest latch
Bet
Good pick
Raheeeeeeeem
I think most of us are online which is fun
Yeah
I might wait
only 4 of us need a qb currently
Done
I just wish he was in a better offense
DX back up
He’s thinking
Cooking the pick
I can see why he’s debating
Receiver or qb
Man he’s really cooking
He’s on right
dx is debating whether to pick qb
@slate lance just a reminder that you’re back OTC.
He’s running the algorithms
The Los Angeles Angels are calling up left-hander Sam Aldegheri, sources tell ESPN. Aldegheri, 22, will be the first pitcher born and raised in Italy to play in the major leagues -- and he is expected to go Friday. The Angels acquired him from Philadelphia at the trade deadline.
@celest zephyr

Oh he took Doubs??
Wow
WHAT
I thought you’d take Reed or Wicks from a packers point of view. Watson gets hurt too much so I understand that.
i like it
Damn he cooked
But they start him as an outside receiver in their sets so it makes sense
wanted someone from that packers receiving group, couldn't trust Watson health he has concern
I was gonna go qb hope the one i want stays
if all comes to plan hmm AR dak and purdy goes
Damn idk who I want. I like Pickens but those mfs just aren’t throwing the ball
I think I know who you’re taking now. You mentioned him before
Yeah he’ll be there probably
Unless someone does something funny and takes another qb
Yeah that’s what makes me worried about him too
worthy was a choice but his hands suck
I liked worthy a lot
Who’s up
and i wasn't gonna get fooled by ridley again
It’s blubrus
Kimmy
Yeah I don’t trust that titans offense
12K debut incoming
He cooKa da pizza 🤌
@celest zephyr just an FYI that you’re OTC

Wait yeah Blub needs to go RB
i feel an intense need to BPA here
I might do that
Time will tell
Choose something BPA
Bpa?
Ah
lol
Imagine
Damn man. I’m just itching to make a move
Must be because of the one piece cleats for one piece Fenway night
I have an idea that's insane
But it may be crazy enough to work
I just really need to mull it over
its not unlikely at all lol
oh they're calling up AA's strikeout leader on sunday too
even better
Shortened timer at least
But these are still significant rounds an autopick would suck
@proper sable https://x.com/mlb/status/1829249687788114382?s=46
He’s busy looks like
The bot has to autopick Harris right
Like it’s based on need no
From website:
“If there aren't any players remaining in my queue, it will take into consideration what positions my team needs, and it will take one of the higher-ranked players available”
he might have set a queue
It's been Brahim and Tchouameni as the issues
Not really
This guy is so glazed
Just because he won the world Cup in 2018
By doing absolutely jack shit
Those are actually hard working players
nobody rates him for the 2018 world cup
they do for the 2022 one
?????
Have you seen Tchouameni this gmae
Game
Hard working is like the opposite I'd use
this dude is just shooting from the hip lol
Like we gotta agree, mbappe has his fault
No one has been good
But Tchouameni and Brahim were the main issues
it's like he's not even looking at him
Carried by clubs is crazy when he has one of the most insane feats in the history of the sport at the highest stage of the game
Hmm
Z. white autopick
@hollow wind
Yep I knew A rich would be the pick
too much value imo
Hmmmm
he's definitely a better choice than either
Reminds me of the regular show episode where Mordecai and Rigby go "double glazed? We'll take em"
Most definitely
I mean am I wrong
Somehow he doesn't perform in Euros but he performs in the WC
Eh kinda. There's alot like Benzema and Wayne Rooney
Everyone performs or tries their best at the WORLD CUP
Yk
Sure, how many goals does Ronaldo have in the knockout stages of the WC? 
On a serious note, Mbappe scored a hattrick in a WC final at like 23, that's unheard of
No matter how he scored the three goals
AND he won the previous WC
mukbang get ready to learn najee harris

No no puto
I don't want Neto
