Is that a code message for guerilla war to break out, Ted?

I challenge anyone to post the above sentence on FF.

Ted's right. I tried and it just won't accept it. How weird. I'll be interested in the reason if you ever find out.

Quick guess: it includes the strings "select" and "from". The phrase SELECT FROM is a major phrase used in SQL, the database language that the forum software uses to store and access all of the forum information, so it's probably getting confused when it reads it as part of a post. Check the software's website for any bug reports and fixes for such a problem.
I think it's FF's inbuilt grammarian refusing to accept such a dreadful sentence construct: he, whoever he is, can't select 'a' player from two teams. He can select a player from EACH team, that is, two players. To select 'a' player from two teams makes me wonder if his name is Solomon.

What if his selected teams included the Chelsea and England football squads? He could then, quite conceivably, select a player from two of his selected teams.
