MY TAKES ON THE IRAN VS USA AND GERMANY VS ESPANA.

From now on the post will be short and sweet .

usa played iran in the crunch match of the final group game . usa started the game with 4-3-3 formation . iran started with 4-4-1-1 . usa started the game by dominating the possession while iran was sitting back and trying to play on the counter attack . usa sent there fullbacks very high up the pitch as they were trying to stretch the game and create spaces for pulisic and weah . but iran were aware of pulisic's and weah's pace and decidedly played a deep back four . the only goal in the match came late in the first half . now i really like carlos queiroz and i thought that iran would give a stern test to usa . as i had said that usa had sent there fullbacks high up the pitch as this was because usa was confident with their midfields and that they can contain iran in the tracks . both robinson and dest were high up the pitch . if you had seen then look the number of times mckiennie crossed the ball to dest from left to right . iran should taken the care of marking dest . secondly they were playing way deep and allowing usa midfielders all the time and space on the ball . iran's left sided winger should had followed dest very diligently because before the goal dest had shown very good crossing ability so marking him was necessary but iran's defense fell asleep and usa could score the winner .

As i was listening to the commentary the commentators were saying that iran had taken there offense 10 yards upfield which was stupid . what happened was that after usa took the lead usa didnt wanted to get caught high on the pitch so they started playing deep and they stopped doing close downs which they were doing earlier in the match which in turn helped iran because now iran could find space in front of the back four . now since iran was having ball in the usa's half . usa had to play compact and that meant that iran's fullbacks and wingers found space on the wings . they throwed some very good crosses which could been a problem for usa . but all and all usa survived and reached the round of 16. 

now as like in every every tournament i like scout players who i think can become very good players . for musa and adams were the best performers for usa and they should have a great future but need to develop physically to play in the big leagues . the other one is from ecuador Pervis Estupiñán is his name and i think that he should be signed by a big club .

germany played spain in the second round of the world cup . losing this game would had been elimination for germany. spain started the game with 4-3-3 formation while germany too started the game with the same formation . in the midfield spain had gavi,pedri and sergio in the midfield . while germany had groetzka,kimmich and gundogan in the midfield . gundogan was played in the no.10 position and was put up against busquestus while kimmich was against pedri and groetzka was against gavi . playing these three in the midfield makes perfect sense but i would do it differently . i would put groetzka against busquestus . he would had just frustrated busquestus . secondly on the offensive front groetzka is way better than he is thought . he can drive the ball is a good header of the ball and has a good shot from distance . this was just one of the mistake that i think that flick made . 

the game started with familiar note . spain had asensio in the no.9 position. the game started with spain dominating possession and germany trying to hit out on the counter attack . both teams try to press each other but spain dominated the possession . the reason for it was that assensio kept on dropping in the midfield to help move the ball up field . olmo and torres stayed out wide to stretch the back four . the diffence why spain dominated the possession to germans was that spain didnt thought of trying to exploit that high back line which both team played . instead they concentrated on moving the ball and bring it up field and then open up the opposition . pedri did very good on the ball considering that he was against kimmich who is a good defender . the other thing is that after spain scored the goal they knew that the germans would try to change formation and also personal and they should had tried to play the same game as they did in the first half .
