Euro 2008 - Jona Lendering - 06-07-2008
And because the EC Football has started, I thought this link would be more than appropriate.

DREAM TEAM - Graham Sumner - 06-08-2008
Quote: but I thought more about something like this:
What no star striker, Julius Caesar! or is he just too flashy and expensive? Spotted some other flaws in the Dream team.
Drusus, injury prone, rocks, horses, that sort of thing.
Germanicus, ate some dodgy food playing in Syria, never been the same since!
Marcus Antonius, easily distracted, has a tendency to take his eye off the ball.
Hadrianus, too defensively minded to be an aggressive winger! Can be relied upon to organise a good wall at free kicks!
Scipio Africanus. Started well earlier in his career but faded badly.
Tiberius, keeps wanting a transfer somewhere else! It is rumoured Rhodes have made an offer.
Vespasianus, a late starter in the twilight of his years now. I hear he is starting his own stadium construction business very soon
Fabius Maximus however is your typical Italian slugger of the old school. one of the best delayers!
Belisarius. Scored well in Africa might find playing in Italy a bit harder!
Flavius Aetius. Well the latest news is that Britons want him after a great triumph against the Germans (well the Brits call them Huns!)!
Agrippa. only plays well on a waterlogged pitch!
Graham.

Here's a nice "Hermann" in Arminia shirt:

Re: Euro 2008 - L C Cinna - 06-09-2008
At first they wanted Cicero as their manager but then had to realize that he always switched sides and joined the winning team :twisted:
You forgot Augustus!!! The top striker of the Roman team! Tricks defenders by pretending to do nothing serious, playing conservative style and before they notice it he scores!

Quote:You forgot Augustus!!! The top striker of the Roman team! Tricks defenders by pretending to do nothing serious, playing conservative style and before they notice it he scores!Nah ... always poor health and not really a tactician on the field ... will do fine as spin doctor
As to Caesar: always troubled with epileptic seizures (... some say [size=75:3maareuo]Incontinencia[/size] :roll: but shush, he could read this ;-) ) )
Re: Euro 2008 - Gaius Julius Caesar - 06-09-2008
Thats ok......Caesar would be scoring so much, his epileptic fits would be indistinquishable from any other Football players after score antics....

I'm having to ignore Euro 08 :roll:
One newspaper had a guide to who Brits could support instead, for me that meant Romania (if you prefer to stay up all night and sleep all day lol)
