Did you notice that the brackets are now divided on one side players with better technical skills and not a lot of size (Brazil, France, Belgium and Uruguay) and the other side represents just strength, size, physical game (Russia, Sweden, England) Croatia may be the exception. I just hope England and Sweden are not in the final. I can't stand watching gladiators playing soccer like England. Long balls and crosses into the box and let's hope something good happens.

A player like Lucas torreira would've never made an USNC due to his size at 5' 6". The scouting system in America where size and speed (kick and chase) come before skills .Comment

my point was that unfortunately several teams that use their physical strength and size got luck in the WC to be in a very easy bracket and one of them will be playing in the final unless Croatia can beat England. The top four teams are Uruguay, Brazil , France and Belgium and they should have been the final four. I hope this WC shows once again that size and long ball soccer does not win Cups. The game is played on the ground..Comment

I will give you a billion dollars if Sweden and England are in the finals. Learn to read a bracket. You might as type trump will nominate tinker bell for supreme court justiceOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Sure, just ask Spain how well the ball on the ground game worked out for them. Same with Argentina and little Messi. Messi is a great little player when he has space to work in. He gets knocked off the ball by the bigger guys. He can't play in the air because when he jumps he is still only 6ft to the top of his head! Ronaldo can play much better with the big boys and his air game is tremendous...he is also 6'-1" tall. Size and speed do matter in soccer and it is being proven in this WC.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

Playing on the ground is useless. Spain outpassed every team by 500 and where are they?Originally posted by Unregistered View Post
I hope one of the long ball teams win to show that possession is overrated. Big, fast, physical teams can wear down the smaller teams with constant bumps and bruises.Comment

England vs Colombia was another good example of that. Clearly the Colombian team ahs some anger management issues but their little guys were beaten to the ball and off the ball frequentlyOriginally posted by Unregistered View PostComment

There were other factors at play there and it's not fair to compare that to a park the bus team.Originally posted by Unregistered View PostComment
