March to the cup starts today. The MBL family is officially seated on the bandwagon and has been for a long time. Now is the time. Here is the place. We have the tools, we have the talent. Plenty of room up here on the wagon. Go ahead and jump on now cause it's leaving the station today. Nothing left to do but go out and win the whole mf'ing thing. LFG!

Is Dest gonna play as a winger?

Or will Freeman play as a WCB?

I assume 3 atb and Dest and Robinson are playing WB

Nice goal.

I like this formation. It's basically pivoting to a 2CB line when we attack with Freeman moving forward wide and Dest moving forward into the middle.

Following this thread. I love the World Cup, understand basics of soccer for sure. But anything yall share as far as strategy will be fun to read.

Soccer is fun!

I gotta say after watching it more… this looks like an asymmetric formation with a 4 man back, and Dest playing as right midfielder.

Either way, it's very fluid in attack and seems to be confusing Senegal too.

Pretty sure I saw that Senegal was going with a strong starting squad for this game too

Watching Berhalter and Reyna's touches as well as movement away from the ball intently. They've each had a bad touch so far, but I'd like to see more involvement from both.

They mentioned Mane is 34 years old now.

Freeman has to have confidence to slip Pepi through, not take a hopeful shot

They've been finding Reyna constantly

I recognize a lot of these names so they aren't slouches. Lot of top euro league talent like us

Yup, he killed that counter. Have to play smarter.

Would rather just punt it forward than throw to a guy being man marked
