Saibari all over the pitch, similar to Dembele at PSG. Sometimes dropping deep to pick up the ball to progress.

Guimarães, Casemiro, Paquetá. 3 different profiles.
Guimarães progresses, presses and wins second balls.
Casemiro sits, screens, reads danger before it happens.
Paquetá links the pivot to the attack,he finds Cunha and Endrick between the lines, or Vini and Raphina on the wings.
In attack, Cunha and Endrick are both comfortable dropping deeper to receive. The opponent CB's can choose to follow or stay in position.
Eitherway this creates huge spaces for Vini and Raphinha to run into. Or a central overload to exploit.
Tyler Adams is the quarterback of this USA team.
He sits centrally, protects the back four and wins the ball back. Buildup goes through him. From his deep position, he sprays passes all over the pitch, connecting defense and attack.
@niloy_khan329 He doesnt need to track back too much. I made this before the world cup did not know militao was injured. You could replace him with anyone. Bremer for example
Brazil haven’t won a World Cup since 2002.
Not because they didn't have the players, but because they didn't have the right system.
This year, at the 2026 World Cup, that changes.

The central overload is how Argentina create their best chances.
Messi receives between the lines on the right. Paz finds space on the left. Álvarez drops to create the 3rd option. Enzo arrives from deep as the 4th, creating a central overload in tight space.

Bouaddi was the best player on the pitch in Morocco's opening game.
19 years old. Played like he'd done this 10 times before.
Here's exactly what he did and why it worked.
If you want the full breakdown of this Morocco team, you can find the complete thread below ⬇️⬇️
Morocco conceded 1 goal in 5 knockout games at the 2022 World Cup.
The DNA hasn't changed. They compress the space between the lines. Possession teams bounce off them. Very hard to break through.
But they could also deliver a relentless press, if a trigger presents itself.

USA have never won a World Cup. But they have never hosted one with a squad this good either.
This generation is more technical and more tactically developed than any US team before them.
🧵 How USA Will Win the World Cup.
Never won a World Cup. Not yet.
2026 is where that changes.
Pulisic at his peak on home soil. And tens of thousands Americans in the stands every game. With millions supporting from elsewhere.
USA are winning the World Cup this year. 🇺🇸
Many different attacking patterns. Like this one on the LHS. Saibari dropping deep from false 9 and diaz taking his spot. El Khannous making a run in behind into the space Saibari created.
In 2022, Morocco became the first African nation to reach a World Cup semi-final.
That wasn't a fluke. They were only the start for the next generation of Moroccan football.
That team has largely gone. But this year they are even better.
