Re: RE: [nas] Player comments/thoughts?

You also want to be able to make moves with the players already on the field. 
To do that the players should be verstile. It is hard to make moves because of 
the three substitution rule. There are a lot of players on that team when we go 
to germany who are capable of playing a lot of positions.

I wonder if O'Brian will be fit? He can play left wing mid, ofensive mid, 
defemsive mid and defensive wing back on the left unfortuneately not all at the 
same time :-).

The surfer dude might lack skills, but he can play bad at a lot of different 
positions and not just one :-)
