USA vs. Portugal

4-5-1? Look, I know CR7 is a force of nature but he's less than 100%. If you play not to lose, there's a chance you'll lose. Come on, son.

The 4-5-1 has been the bread and butter of the U.S.

With a weak back line a 4-5-1 is the way to play.

Portugal still has the best player in the world and five starters that played in the Champions League and personally, I think you're severely underrating Portugal. Sure they have some injuries but I'd expect them to come out fighting for their lives rather than looking like a defeated team.

The goal is to hold off the initial attack for the 20 minutes.

This! I cant remember the last time we didnt run a 4-5-1, we ran it last game, so does that mean we run for a draw each match? We need defense for this game

Ugh... so far we're not playing like we can and looked too scared of CR7.

 

 

 

This was the worst thing we could do this game, go down a goal early to a silly mistake. Hopefully, Klinnsman has put it in their backbone to bounce back from it. WE need a score before halftime to stay in this to win.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
