Im not pretending AVB was a fluke but ask anyone who watches Falcao at atletico he became the complete striker at atleticoNah, come on B1, Falcao was mustard at Porto, it's why Atletico bankrupt themselves buying him. At Moutinho is a great player but hasn't been as good at Monaco.
Lets not pretend everything AVB did was a fluke. He did fucking wonders for Bale and anyone who thinks otherwise is called Tim Sherwood or harry Redknapp.
There is no God. Mexico beats Croatia and advances all because of the United States beating Panama to let Mexico into the tournament. The US gets our hearts broken in the final 30 seconds of stoppage time and now we need to hope Portugal doesnt score 5 goals(which you know they will, btw) or to get a result against the best team in the world.

If we get knocked out because of Ghana(who we beat), it would just be so spursy of us. I would personally fly to Portugal and break Ronaldo's legs.I'd be more worried about Ghana to be honest.
Mine too...I hate the way commentators keep referring to the 3-5-2 as a 5-3-2 when it clearly isn't the latter. The wing backs have to defend, yes, but their primary duty is as a support role to stretch the play. They make it sound like it's a negative formation.
The formation has come back into fashion with a few teams like Costa Rica, Mexico, Chile and Holland using it quite successfully.
Not toally sure if I'm crediting it correctly but I think the resurgence is from Serie A where a fair few teams have adopted it in the last few years. Walter Mazzarri was the one to kick start it in Italy when at Napoli, using Maggio and Zuniga.
It's my favourite formation and one that I think Italy should use by default. Apparently we'll be using it tomorrow.
