It has to be Zlatan-style.

A mediano is a false 8 in a double pivot system

Sadly (especially in the last few weeks) half of everything in general popular culture has been compared to/made into/related with Game of Thrones. It's loving inescapable, and while yes some of them look good those mock-ups were inevitable.

quote:

Widely considered to be one of the craftiest young talents around, Rodríguez can play anywhere from a midfield position to a winger position. He's able to switch from either a left to a right side position as well as a center, making him a very versatile player. Most of his key attributes surround his technical abilities as an extremely balanced player, relying on precise mental sharpness over strength and speed, despite having high stats with said attributes. Rodriguez invests his training towards becoming as 'balanced' as possible.[79][80][81]

The sources are youtube videos and a Manchester United fan site which says nothing about how he plays other than that he's a winger

I've never really understood WHY American sports journalists in particular keep wanting to change the rules of the game. I mean, it's not like they're all talking about one specific change that would maybe benefit the USMNT, it's just random poo poo here and there that would either break (the flow of) the game or have no real effect. I get that they're idiots who don't understand the game, but would stupid rules changes really change that? WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH aaaaaaaaa

That the expected value of any penalty shot far exceeds that of almost any other “live play” scenario is not just some wonky statistical quirk. This is why Rafael Márquez’s “trip” so easily “felled” Robben on Sunday.

If Besler was English. He could easily get $20 mil transfer.


quote:

sincere question, how much better is Cahill than Besler? Cahill fits the bill as somewhere between pedestrian and solid to me, much like Besler yet gets an otherworldly transfer fee to one of the biggest clubs in England......because hes english.


quote:

Its been mentioned by announcers before that Besler is the fastest player on the USMNT. That was probably before Yedlin started getting call ups though. Cahill is not nearly as fast as Besler.

Cahill might be better in the air, but thats because he's three inches taller and aerial ability is one of Cahill's strengths. Besler isn't a liability in the air. He regularly wins headers on set pieces.
