Understand why you guys are fine with this, but surely you see why from a neutral perspective we're a bit bored? Even if you have many understandable reasons for playing this why including bad attacking options? If you guys are bored now, wait till you watch England v France Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you have many understandable reasons for playing this why including bad attacking options? It's boring from every perspective, but just think about all the NT tournaments over the past few years, how many classics with a lot of goals that weren't one sided affairs happened? Very few. I'd rather blame a team with 500 million worth forwards upfront that can't score against Stuttgart, Zenit, Leipzig and Celtic defense, with Dinamo goalkeeper behind them.

GunmaN1905 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Just now, The_jagster said: Fine, so pick somebody with pace then! Brazil is one thing, Japan it was the same. There's noone with pace who's not a League 1 or below level player. That's where population comes into play. Brazil has more registered footballers than Croatia has citizens. Japan is a different story, we all heavily criticized the approach. It's our mentality of plaing up or down to opponent's level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blame both tbf, Brazil have indeed been pretty average and wasteful with the few chances they have had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
