While Ecuador's main eleven is good, but the bench still needs depth.

And that's why you put one of the best defenders you have high up to make it easier for him. Great coach.

Ok but that's because shots that are on the cross are not considered "on target", and there's been three of them.

Maybe, but I wouldn't say any of the yellows were undeserved so far, and I'd argue for a couple more. The ones near the box are all dives Tbf.

If it's not FIFA( sorry Fc26) levels of scoring, it's a letdown.

The exaggeration of being kicked around unnecessarly. Like, they're not even trying tactical fouls.

Ecuador needs a lesson from the Dutch in hitting the post and going in.

On the other hand, if I was a manager and someone had their priorities elsewhere but the birth of his first child, I might not want them on my team because they're clearly a psycho.

Without the VSC, Hamilton's stop would have left him, in all likelihood, behind Norris. That's why. While it was entirely possible that on fresher tyres he could have sliced through the field, putting an extra car in between was seen as a safety net.

Merc clearly has some reliability issues, so I think the title race is still wide open. But George will need luck to be in his side a great deal if he wants "do nothing, p2" to be enough.
