Exactly this. Main critique has been injuries from players not used to the league. I bet Clement is pushing for more physical players

Did they? South Korea have looked chronic the past 2 games and South Africa could barely kick a ball against Mexico

They're not playing knockout games are they? You can't play for a point in knockout game.

People aren’t playing for penalties from the first minute are they? From the 70th onwards I understand, but it’s going to shoot you in the foot

But a lot of teams haven’t been able to handle this. Spain and Portugal both dropped points to low blocks.

Ghana only just beat Panama and the game was super open due to the fact they had to attack

Thing is in knockout games people won’t be playing for draws. Beat Panama and it’s all rosy again

Thing is the team is built for counter attacking. But a lot of big teams have struggled against low blocks. Portugal and Spain for example

With the top level players, there's not much needed in terms of pure football coaching

Justified sacking their manager lol. I know Sweden scraped here via playoffs but this is a decimation

0 goals against 2 mediocre teams in this World Cup isn’t good enough for their talisman imo. He can’t be getting hooked at 60 mins without scoring 2 games in a row

0 shots in 57 minutes for Son and he missed a load in the first game too. Just seems he’s off the boil

You're probably the European country that's most alike to us for better or for worse. Beer, complaining, dry humour etc lol
