True #9 in the sense he plays with his back to the goal well and can hold up an attack to let wings get forward with him... ala Jozy.

Of course, that was in college. Ive seen probably 2 Houston games since he was drafted lol.

Hes an above average MLS striker with 4 goals this season. He does have strength I'll give you that. And his off the ball runs are quite good, but his touch is absolute shit. He's not much more than a Goal poach IMO. I am def more excited for Jac Mack than him.

Pks really suck, but it's the two best goalkeepers in the world at least.

Is throw Nuer in there. Possibly #1. But Iker and Gigi are right there also.

Ps. PKs suck. PKs suck even more when at work and not able to watch.

Gotta think Brazil will finish the chances Italy got, but Spain should also find a ton of opportunities versus the Samba defense. I'm hoping for tons of goals Sunday!!!

Thanks wildcats. I assume pirlo was the other Italy make, since you're missing someone.

I still can't believe they went 13/14 combined...and 12/12 at one point. Unreal composure and finishing!

Brazil already has a day rest on them, plus Spain played 130 minutes. I agree.

Did you happen to notice how many went to the goalkeeper's right? It was amazing to see how many went that way.
