@KnowerOfBans Dest played so well because of how much support was coming from deeper. I think it'll look less flattering against better opponents when you can't have Weston bombing forward to create those forward triangles. He played well don't get me wrong but was also the perfect situation.

I want to witness a Breel Embolo masterclass.

@ThaEuropeanLad They won't init.

@NealGardner_ I really don't understand all the hype behind Morocco.

@StevenEdginton Sampling bias at its finest? The only thing you've essentially proven is you have a group of friends that don't watch football.

@imkikosuarez NFL Sundays are so goated honestly. Its almost a problem how well the timings work cause it really disincentivises you from getting off the couch at all.😂

@Bri_an2 The OPTA data has all the top leagues really quite packed together. Ligue 1 obviously bottom of the 5 but the differences are really quite minute. Not accurate to point to something like this when theres so much more nuance.

@JoePompliano Football has long been the least efficiently monetized out of the major sports. While change may not be what you want, this was only ever going one way.

@NealGardner_ South Africa opener was a hard watch but other than been immaculate vibes.

@MRIRBT By the very definition of how a successful company/broadcast operates, somebody wants to see it otherwise they wouldn't do it. I don't really like it but I also don't care, and the market has spoken on what "we care" about.

[Chris Mico @ChrisMicoFC]

@RyanRosenblatt Well they didn't solve anything even with the breaks. Puli sub and halftime + the US pulling back is what stopped the immense beating.

@YedIin I want the alternate timeline where Spurs never sack him. The way football works now they get rid eventually cause nobody lasts apparently but I'm just a big Poch fan😂

[Chris Mico @ChrisMicoFC]

@ZwebackHD Got choppy in the 2nd half but his runs in the 1st were immaculate.

[Chris Mico @ChrisMicoFC]

@Bri_an2 As if on queue btw the bombing runs from deep stopped cause u can't play like that for 90 mins up 3 and he had to deal isolated. Wasn't awful but I mean, ya.😂

[Chris Mico @ChrisMicoFC]

@Bri_an2 Not really RW; RWB with so much support, hes not having to find the space on his own, which I do suspect would be more disastrous.

[Chris Mico @ChrisMicoFC]

@FPLOlympian Paraguay have got some legit results I mean they're not "this" bad. Poch put them in an absolute blender though I mean tactically that half was poetry.

[Chris Mico @ChrisMicoFC]

@liabinkin Tactically they've absolutely ruined them. The US have been capable but I mean that half was utterly incredible.

[Chris Mico @ChrisMicoFC]

@Nick28T Its the tactic thats putting them in hell. Marking the flurry of runs from deeper in a somewhat offset formation than you typically see. Yes Paraguay are playing badly but I think its more the case Poch just put them in an absolute blender.

[Chris Mico @ChrisMicoFC]

Poch USA ball some of the prettiest ball you will see.

[Chris Mico @ChrisMicoFC]

What a strike!
