Looking forward to seeing Swag and Bacon up top, and I like the midfield with the one question mark being Zardes in that role on the right. Maybe we're going to play a lop-sided formation where he pushes higher until it's almost like a 4-3-3.

Do we think the graphic is accurate in how they will line up? Doesn't Mix typically play on the right when hes on the wing? Its interesting to me from an NYCFC perspective since the assumption is that Lamapard may play at the top of the diamond, pushing Mix to a wing. It makes me wonder if Mix has a preferred side.

The positioning of Germany is something to be in awe of. Their movement and passing is so beautiful. Someone always in support and ready to receive a pass.

Almost gave up a poor goal 4th minute.

Hmmm, nice shot Mix.

 

[Midas Mulligan]

So close for mix!

Love Bacon megging the kraut.

Uff that [non] marking.

 

[Z4CH3B99]

How did they let him slip through the box like that? He wasn't even marked!

 

[gbservis]

That didnt take long...

 

[NickLennen]

Did Chandler just leave Gotze open in the box?

 

[Comeonyouboysinblue]

Poor defending. Gotze left that open? Can't happen. All caught ball watching.

 

[OSNY87]

Yes, yes he did. If he was worried about another runner he should have at least let Alvarado know that Gotze had gotten free.

 

[gbservis]

Going to be a long day for Guzan, so many shots already from Germany.

 

[NYCFC_Dan]

No one steps up with mix covering from behind. They let him dribble nearly to the penalty spot. Very poor.

Chandler was pretty worthless on the play. It was like we only had 10 men on the field.

 

[NYCFC_Dan]

Didn't Fabian play up the right hand side for us in the WC?

 

[Z4CH3B99]

Didn't Fabian play up the right hand side for us in the WC?

I'm not sure. I thought he was on the left side, but I'd have to check on that.

 

[OSNY87]

Silly yellow by Williams. Got to know better than that.

 

[NYCFC_Dan]

Mix is really working hard. He's all over the place.
Poor pass from Bradley there. Should of got at least a cross out of that.
