      Its going well dude, how about you?

      Its actually interesting how the teams that play 4 in the back are usually the ones that are continuously at the top of their groups. Santos, Cruz Azul, Pachuca, Toluca, etc. all play with a classic 4 backline. You look at America of last year, and they were playing with 5 in the back most of the time and it didn't really work out for them, but to be fair, i don't know if they had the personel to play with 4 in the back anyway. This season they are probably go with 4 in the back, we'll see how that works out for them.

      I do think its a changing trend not only in the Mexican League but all over the world. Players are faster, more versatile and they can cover more ground therefore there is little need for a back line of 5 when you only need 4 to cover the width of the field. And this change is suprising taking into account that as time has gone on, formations have been getting more and more defensive so a back line of 5 was a natural progression. However, that has changed due to the ability of the players and I do believe that more teams will be moving to a back line of 4 and it will stay like this for some time because of how balanced it is.

      Hello Solid, hows it going?

      This comment, "which makes no sense since all the Euros play with 4 in the back on their teams and most Mexican teams do the same". I've actually noticed that most Mexican teams I have seen did the opposite, with exceptions of course. Unfortunately, there is still a few that hold onto that ideal.

      Although, it seems to be a changing trend. Is that your observation as well?
