I read an article on Fox sports today about possibilities for striker. There is this quote of Pepi's contrast to Balogun:
Quote:
He is more of a classic striker who reads the game in the box, knows how to get into dangerous spots, and is far more of an aerial threat than Balogun.

I'm not sure what that means in terms of how the rest of our team plays or how much would have to change in our style.


Thinking a bit about this and from what I've seen of Pepi is he needs service into the box. So, play out wide with passing into the box or service through the channel into Pepi. I think it can work based off what I've seen from the attack so far. Probably a 1A and 1B situation with Pepi and Wright.
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.

Balogun is wise beyond years.

When he got the red card, I was really surprised how he kept his emotions intact. Candidly, I would have been a mirror image of John Madden.

That too, but when Madden coached the Raiders he'd go off like a rocket on the refs.

Speed. Their backline isn't quick and moves stiffly. Stay wide and move the ball.

They haven't been very good at picking up runs from deep.

That aligns really nicely with how Pulisic and Dest like to attack.

I really expect it to ba a pretty wide open game. Neither team is at their best just sitting back, and speed does bother Belgium. Should be a fantastic matchup!

I think Weston's movement will give them fits, like it has done to every team so far this World Cup.
Could really use Pulisic finding the final moment multiple times this game.

I really like our chances.
