Month 10: Got some ideas/games for future SDS episodes. I've been averaging 200-300 likes when I comment this so hopefully someone sees this. Love the pod boys! 1) Random Football Category Draft Challenge: This is similar to the iconic and world cup draft challenges, but each round would be a random football category with a different pool of players. You will have a total of 11 random rounds. For example: - players to never win the Ballon D'or (excluding goalies): Maldini, Raul, Henry, Xavi, Baresi, etc. - Barca 08/09 starting XI - English Midfielders 2) Start, Sub, Sell | Everyting but players edition: Similar format to classic version, but here you would do celebrations, greatest moments, freekicks, iconic hairstyles, etc. 2.5) Start, Sub, Sell | Speical situation edition: Same format, but you will start, sub, sell based on a specific situation. In example: Game is tied 0-0 you have a freekick right outside the box. Who will you start, sub , or sell? - Messi, Beckham, Ronalidno Some questions I thought of that are both related and not related to football: Who would you want as captain in a final? Goalkeeper you would want in a pk shooutout? What player you would want to have in a pub fight?

Alvarez clears that list. Abz just started learning the process of football , i dont blame him.

[@r.i.psteez929]

Alvarez has been the solution and shown variety in his game on multiple occasions. Think back to this season against Newcastle and his goal, or his goal against Real Madrid in the UCL last season, he’s unlucky he has the best striker in the league in front of him cause he’s a killer himself.

[@fox2569]

Alvarez is objectively a better footballer than Haaland, just not as good a pure striker, still City would win the league and another treble with Alvarez as number 9

Them not putting Micky Van de Ven in the top 5 CB debate for this season is crazy. Dude has been instrumental in Tottenham's squad, and is a decent reason why they are 1st.

[@Majin532]

And them not putting son which is the second top scorer for the first debate

[@kunoCS.]

@@Majin532 I know son is playing ST this season, but he's been a left wing/inside forward for a long time so its understandable that he'd get missed out in this grouping. Also he'd very clearly be the best one out of all of them, so there isn't much room for debate

[@DREADL]

Sharky does it on purpose and always says the lists were given to him when he could easily change it lmao. He knows based on performances this season VDV would be near the top

The goal choices for the World Cup were good but i probably would have put Mbappe’s open play goal in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in there. Trailing 2-1 heading into the last 10 mins of the game, takes the ball off the volley and smashes past Martinez. One of the best World Cup finals and what that goal meant for that game

what a hell? Van Dijk got bullied by DCL in the air? he won 10 out of 15 aerial duels, DCL lost the most duels in that match and he won 5 out of 18.

28:52 Roy Keane brings that unintentional humor to the shows.

[@sid3645]

as a pure defender i put Dias over those other guys simply because of not only how stable he is, but also how he can elevate the guys around him. just that alone puts him high and when you see performances like the one last year against bayern or 20/21 against PSG you're reminded why he's the best defender in the world.

Henry 4??? His breakdown and analysis alone easily puts him top 2, and that's without adding his charisma and banter. And Keane at 2? Outside of the meme-able moments and rants what does he provide as a pundit? Horrific take

[@tashrif46]

25:37 Jamie Carragher is a brilliant pundit. The guy has an encyclopedic memory. I was watching the Overlap and the things that Jamie remembers from past games and he was mentioning them off the cuff with no research was incredible. People dont want to give him credit because he is sometimes a bit harsh. But I remember he was the first person that stated that Cristiano Ronaldo would not work. And he was ridiculed for that. And 2 years later, he was correct but since it was Carragher, nobody wanted to give him his flowers.

Abs struggling to explain why Alvarez is last is painful

[@i3p973]

Tbh his argument was just bad but the position isn’t crazy. Alvarez is so flexible which makes him such an interesting footballer but all Abz needed to do is say a similar argument to James in that we haven’t seen Alvarez as the #9 in the PL yet. He’ll always be a second striker or wide forward when in this Pep team because of Haaland and because of that he isn’t the focal point in the same way Toney, Watkins, and Isak is for their teams. (Jesus had moments but not at a consistent lvl.) Alvarez is by far the best footballer but we haven’t seen a sample size of him as the main striker or goal threat yet to justify putting him above the other guys on this list.
