    I guess Kylian Mbappé is now the "it" player of this tournament. At 19 years old...

    This World Cup is a big FU to all those who love Tiki-Taka. Only three teams averaged more then 65% possession in the group stage, Germany, Spain, and Argentina; all three are now out. The winning theory for this World Cup so far, is the more possession you have, the more chance you have of making a mistake, and opening yourself up to being hit on the counter.

    Yep--3-on-4 on the run attacks seem to be a lot more effective than 10-man offensive sets. Seems to be best to play for the counter and try to generate a run-out.

    Their defenders could stand to watch a bit of NBA basketball. When you're defending a 2-on-3 fast break, you can't just ball-watch. You have to match up defensively on the trailers and box out for the rebound. Both goals came about because they don't do that.

    So true, everyone knows you gotta box out on the power play in the red zone on the fast break. Fundamentals bro.

    They gotta get the FSB on that right away or no one will ever let Russia bribe their way to any international sporting events ever again.
