[pre WC friendly] Croatia - Senegal (Senegal destroyed Croatia with wing play)
Although Croatia won the game, Senegal smoked them on the wings again and again and again. Poor finishing cost them the game. One wonders if Groundnut **** even watched this game. Wing play was the way to go against a team like Croatia at the WC, but you have to have good crossers and sharp strikers to make it count.
Wha choo looking at?!

Debatable, but by the laws of statistics wing play was the way to go. The more opportunities created, the more likely a goal will happen.Kabalega wrote: ↑Tue Feb 08, 2022 1:00 pmHmmm.... did Groundnut **** have the good crossers and sharp strikers?Scipio Africanus wrote: ↑Tue Feb 08, 2022 8:22 am Although Croatia won the game, Senegal smoked them on the wings again and again and again.

Well, explain it then because the way I see, if we were to throw a coin, .... heads you fly from Lagos to London, tails you sail by ship.

Let's keep it to the domain of soccer.

Seriously doubt they play like this in the next WC should they qualify.
Was way too open. Could easily have been down by two within ten minutes of the game...

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp
