Round of 16 Preview, Part 3: Spain-Portugal and USA-Belgium

from The Double Pivot: Soccer analysis, analytics, and commentary · host Max Thompson

The Round of 16 preview extravaganza continues with the big matches on July 6. How Portugal's tactical system continues to try and fail to work around Ronaldo's limitations, what we want to see from Spain in this match, the importance of the Spanish fullbacks, and then of course the USMNT preview. How Pochettino will likely approach this match against an opponent that will seek to control possession, why Jeremy Doku terrifies us and how Belgium's attacking band is supposed to work, and the inexplicable tactical decisions of Rudi Garcia and how they could give the US an advantage. The other Round of 16 previews, are on the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/doublepivotSupport the show
