The United States outclassed Paraguay physically and tactically. Pochettino has successfully brought modern club football principles to the national team game
6 shots worth 0.25 xG in the first half by PSG. I don't know, man. Arsenal need a miracle in the second half to withstand this amount of pressure from a free-flowing, brave, totally not rigid positionally, team
Only one team significantly improved their impact on opponents' buildup (a proxy for high-press efficiency) compared to 2022-2023.

Since Roberto De Zerbiβs appointment, Spurs are among the best sides in the league in high-press efficiency and the best in terms of open-play xG conceded. De Zerbi has shown flexibility and focused on what is fixable in the short term
Encouraging how Tottenham dealt with the threat of Evertonβs transitional attacks in the first half. Great work across the team, but especially VDV and Palhinha
I think Arteta mishandled Whiteβs injury. Instead of subbing on Mosquera right away, he attempted to use Declan Rice at right-back, where he isnβt comfortable making overlapping or underlapping runs, which left Saka isolated
To fix this, Arteta had to sub off Calafiori or MLS, as subbing off Zubi half-time would have been a major blow to morale. Instead, we ended up with suboptimal right- and left-side triangles and a Zubimendi in a poor form
