I've been highly skeptical of Dest in the past, but he's been really good in the WC, and has gotten progressively better in each game.

I mean, he wasn't just loving Wynalda's wife but in one instance he shot over there while Wynalda was gone and the two went at while the kids were still in the house but taking a nap.

Nystral posted:I'm trying to learn more about the game, is there anything I can watch that will better explain how Robinson's actions impeded the attacks? He was receiving the ball, and then going to dribble and his first or second touch while dribbling was far too strong, letting a defender close the space and take the ball away from him. A better touch and he would have been able to pass the ball off to another US player or just retain possession himself.

Mr. Mambold posted:Shrap, do you have Suqit's classic triangles post? Let me share some unique Barcelona soccer experience with you, in this very thread, because you are missing the subtlety. Instead of following the ball, follow the off ball movement. Look for triangles to appear, dissolve and then reappear right before your eyes. Watch as player's heads swivel to find the man making the run for the second pass, not the first. Watch the tight control and decision making. Don't appreciate the pass that was made, appreciate the pass that wasn't because it was more difficult and less likely to be successful. Watch the instant pressure applied once the ball is lost. Appreciate the monumental patience and discipline required to maintain possession without making foolish passes for long stretches. Realize that they are making things that are incredibly difficult to do both physically and tactically look so easy that it becomes boring. Or you can just say lol Barcelona matches are boring and hate them.

Nystral posted:I'm trying to learn more about the game, is there anything I can watch that will better explain how Robinson's actions impeded the attacks? You want your first touch receiving the ball to be: 1. A pass back to another player that is successfully received and safely moved on 2. A very careful touch that lets you immediately and safely control the ball and give you time to think about your next move 3. A purposeful touch (either hard or soft) that directs the ball into open space away from defenders so you can do the above from that space 4. I guess a final option would be a shot on goal You can ignore 4 because Robinson’s job isn’t to shoot and he wasn’t trying to. You can ignore 1 because that isn’t what he was generally trying to do and failing, although that’s because this generally takes the most technical ability on a team-wide level to do (as it requires having gelled enough to let multiple players know where the next pass should be going prior to the previous one being recovers). International teams aren’t generally doing this all the time, that’s something for top tier club teams who have more time to drill and get cohesive. But Spain is the best example of this at the tourney. See also the suqit triangle post lol He was being bad at 2 and 3. Instead of safely receiving the ball he would mess up technically so a defender would be up on him closing him down before he had time to see where he could dribble or pass. This made it so he either lost the ball outright or couldn’t make passes to teammates (either because the pressing defender blocked all passes, or other defenders used the time to block the passing lanes to his teammates, putting them in new cover shadows). He also either was screwing up or didn’t have the wherewithal to control the ballproperly with his first touch. Especially for the position he plays, attacking fullback who is nominally a defender but needs to move the ball up the pitch quickly down the side of the field, he should be better at reviving the ball and directing it with that first touch in a progressive direction away from defenders that lets him immediately get up to speed on the ball to dribble or make a pass from that area (which will force defenders to try and close down his dribbling and passing options at that new point and hopefully stretch them out of position / make them move their cover shadows so his teammates they were previously blocking can receive passes). A lot of the above sounds simple and that’s because it is, but the speed of the game means it’s necessary to be technically sound to accomplish the simple stuff and do the more complicated stuff, so you often want to try and defend in a way that prevents the simple stuff. If you’re interested in a basic level on what a fullback should be doing with those technical skills, here’s a basic vid by a nice Canadian sounding guy. It might help understand why his poor technique was getting in the way of him doing things. https://youtu.be/nA40uiiZRU8

Shrapnig posted:In this case I guess the sword is bad substitutions that unbalance the team I think the defense are sorted now, it's the attack that lack. Obviously the Reyna hate is a -1, Pepi included and a fit Daryl Dike might have been a revelation. I think he's trying to mold the attack too much featuring Pulisic. Him taking set pieces has been a fail.
