[MENTION=16942]BBZ8800[/MENTION] to be fair, we are the second youngest team in this competition. These kids do lack composure that often comes with experience.
Ok
They are young.
But... even though I don't like them, Pedri and Gavi are also young, but they don't look naive.
This Usa team feels as if you have played poker with your 2 friends and you think you are the master.
And then you go to a pro tournament in Las Vegas, lose all your money in 20 minutes and you have no clue what happened.
My point: even though Usa is way better, I had the same feeling as when I watch African or Asian teams who just lack in a tactical department.
An average English player has 10 years in EPL, tons of CL experience and watching EPL for 30 years and knowing all tactical tricks for years.
With Usa guys, there are just 100 little details missing.
Or, a better analogy.
Imagine a Polish or Czech NT team in baseball or basketball playing vs NBA or MLB all star team.
Even if Polish team is good, Usa fans could spot 100 little details which are normal for every NBA team/player/coach, and which Polish/Czech team has never seen/thought about it at all.
Like: when you lead, you do this.
When it's 10 seconds till the end, you do this.
You know, how in football, if Italians lead 1:0, they will take the ball near the corner flag in the 93rd minute and try to get a foul, shield the ball etc.
While a rookie team will play a counter in the 93rd minute and risk getting countered if they lose the ball.
Tiny details like that
