World Cup in the Desert

Normal service resumed with Spain. 85% possession

I'm not saying it's Southgate..

but it's Southgate

Football styles. Styles styles styles. Youze right?


After England going out last night it got me thinking as we will be going back to club games soon.

I've seen nearly all the games in the World Cup because of televising which you wouldn't get with club games where it's only highlights and may not get the full picture

I thought England played well last night but France are more rounded and got the job done without playing well.


We are looking at the last 4 now so I'm thinking it gives us a good idea at the current state of world football. Doesn't matter who has or hasn't won at this point.

2 of the 4 semi finalists were in the last world cup final so it's not a million miles off

I would say its 50/50 conservative to attack minded teams. The gate keepers being Croatia and Morocco and the go getters being France and Argentina



So with a United hat on where do we sit in terms of teams styles both now and where we want to be

Whether we like it or not or whoever our preferences are, these are the best players in the world right now or at least should be if they are doing their stuff.

So what style are we and where are we aiming to be at. I know international and club football is somewhat different stakes and you can afford to mix it around a bit, but still, try give this a shot.

I've haven't thought much about my ones but I think there's a good bit of LVG's stuff in us
