Guardiola is actually pulling a potter here and playing Grealish as wingback, not a back 4 with Gardiol as LB. I guess if your players are this well drilled, the formation does not really matter.

Having Haaland plus Alvarez is a cheat code tho. If one is having an off day like Haaland today, the other steps up. Also the positonal flexbility on Alvarez is great. He played water carrier for Messi, now he is the playmaker for Haaland. then add foden to this and you dont need any more players doing much for attack.

Brighton continue to waltz through the league while we keep bankrolling them with ~100m per year just to take their garbage out for them. Did them a solid by helping them rid of potter, cucu and Sanchez. Really, they should build Todd a statue in front of their stadium.

I will be shocked if Spain wins

Looks like it tho. England will need something special to turn this around. Technically and tactically the Spanish are a just bit better . England obviously have more pace but worth nothing if they have so many braindead runs like this shot from Bronze to vacate her position and then lose the ball.

England have been off it first half, need James in now and give it everything.

Yes but I think they are not really any worse than in their previous games except Australia and China. All other performances were as indifferent as this one just against worse opposition. Need some individual brilliance , maybe from James. Don’t see them pircking Spain apart. Spain are too good to just pass the ball around and milk time
