Yes 100%. And Van Gaal's Netherlands did 3-5-2 when they smashed Spain in 2014 World Cup 5-1.
Correct! Like we used to before the Nations League became a thing!
I'm glad. He is not Juve quality.
Either one is alright I'd say. Motta has looked to be the next great thing. If we could, I'd take Conte for maybe a couple seasons, and then Motta...
Terrible decision if you ask me
Maybe not calling him up last break taught him a lesson! Hopefully he will work hard and perform well!
Fair enough! Back in Euro 2020 though, Chiesa wasn't even originally a starting player. Berardi started over him for the first 4 matches, and then...
Isn't Jorginho world class as well? I know we've been frustrated at his missed crucial penalties, but he's still an world class player that is...
True, but friendlies are also games where coaches test different players and the starting team ain’t always there. Also players tend to be way...
Don't take friendlies seriously. They aren't really very telling.
I like it!!! I'd also add Frattesi or Bonaventura as super subs for Chiesa and Pellegrini. Chiesa and Pellegrini to be starters.
These are my current predictions: (Could change closer to the tournament, but as of now what I'd predict): Group A: 1. Germany 2. Switzerland 3....
The only real old player in Portugal's defense is Pepe. The rest are pretty good ages. Dias is a starting defender for Man City, Guerrero plays...
I feel like Portugal greatly IMPROVED a lot since Santos left and Roberto Martinez took over. Under Santos they were a bunch of individuals that...
Interesting, my final four are actually Italy, France, England, and Portugal! I have no idea which 2 make the final as I’m leaving that up for...
Any idea what he did to get that red card? I only remember seeing that one other time in the past 10 years I’ve been watching soccer, and that...
Absolutely BS!!! Go back to the old format where it was 2 legged playoffs with each team playing one match home and away. The way it changed...
Well I guess Ukraine had too much for Iceland. Maybe Iceland isn’t as good as I thought. Spoke too soon about them. Definitely still ways away...
I see what you’re saying, but Ukraine is just a team that cannot be trusted. They remind me of Rudi Garcia’s Roma. Can sometimes do very well...
In a 3-4-2-1 I think Chiesa can be utilized well! Even in a 3-5-2. Honestly, his problem at Juventus isn’t so much the formation itself as much as...
Wales vs Poland is such a tough call, and I originally leaned towards Poland, but after looking at everything considered with both teams, I fancy...
My final predictions for tomorrow: Wales, Iceland, and Greece will qualify!
Final predictions for tomorrow: Wales, Iceland, and Greece qualify!
Whatever we do, please NOT the 4-3-3. We clearly don’t have the players capable of that formation and I feel we’re not making the most of a few of...
I’m seriously starting to feel that Di Lorenzo should be snubbed. Swap him for Cambiaso. Spinnazola is also a player I’d still like to watch for...
