World Cup Tactics Thread

Ha. What do I know. Germany out. Brazil to maybe come second in their group. Winning our group suddenly becomes the better option.

Not to mention that losing on purpose will likely backfire for any nation where this is cultural taboo—it’s not a tactic, err strategy, that all teams may employ.

Watching those South Korean's today. They got knocked out but you'd have thought they won the world cup. Their attitude was 100% spot on, even though they knew they had no chance of going through with Mexico getting hammered. And Panama when they scored against us, same thing.

I'm no tactical genius but it seems Germany got them wrong today.
