if you guys honestly think this i feel sorry for you. The coach decides who takes the set pieces and even if he didnt then blame Viera and not Pirlo because its his responsibility.

When I review the referees, I go to the Wikipedia season pages and then if necessary the MLSsoccer.com match report. It's had to find penalties given that wasn't scored.
But I remember that game. Forget about the penalty. Didn't want to be triggered regarding the Orlando tie.
I'd also like to see Sands make his way to the 18 sooner rather then later.
wrong.
wrong.
if you've never played organized soccer (with a real coach) then you would know the coach assigns who takes what, unless its the last minutes or theres an understanding between the players/ coach to play quickly.
its not just a free for all, first come first serve. these
also, contracts could have an effect. In certain players contracts (like pirlo, drogba, giovinco and villa) there may be clauses in the contract- "first rights to PK/FK"... even corners.
someone gets it. Its almost like people here dont think the players practice these situations with the coach on the regular basis and coach doesnt decide whats going on.
I can't even count how many teams around the world have different players take the free kicks depending on who steps up and demands the ball. Hell, last season ManU had all of the following guys go for the ball and they figured it out themselves: Ibra, Pogba, Herrera, Rooney, and Mata. I'm probably even forgetting some. mourinho didn't tell them who was kicking, they discussed it/pulled rank on the field. I'm sure there are some teams where the manager designates one person, or a committee depending on type of kick, but that is definitely not a universal truism across all of soccer.
And I'm pretty sure I've heard Vieira answer the question when asked that he lets the players figure it out.
Just gonna leave this right here...
In 2015, before Pirlo transferred to the Bronx, Villa scored a pair of stunning free kicks – Villa is 2 out of 14 in his NYCFC career but do not expect a role reversal any time soon.
“I let the players decide on the field,” said Vieira.
Pirlo does not plan to abandon that responsibility.

Jesus christ. so its still vieras decision to have Villa or Pirlo take it. If he doesnt want him to he says no and its over. If mikey lopez just steps up to take it does Viera let it happen?
Vieras lack of a decision is still a decision to let Pirlo take them.
I've played plenty of organized soccer and not for a second would I think that rules about who takes free kicks experienced on those teams provide any insight into how things play out at a professional level with world class players like Villa and Pirlo. Unless you are a former champions league player if you think your experience gives you insight you're kidding yourself.
Also, even if PV is making the call its still the case that they could be deferring to Pirlo out of respect. Aging super stars in all different sports are often allowed to perform key roles long beyond the time when they are the optimal choice out of respect.
Youre acting like Villa is a nobody compared to Pirlo. Hes also an aging super star and the captain of the team.
Its very common for coaches to let the players on the field determine who takes penalties and free kicks.
You are like 0 for 5 in admitting you are wrong when presented with evidence. The human mind is amazing because I have a feeling that you honestly don't think you are wrong.
But why does their 3 man backline have 3 CB's? Makes zero sense. No fullbacks!?
since i still havent left the office why not one more reply.
I admitted i was wrong at least twice today to SoupInNYC at one point i even wrote "you right you right"
I would urge some of you to use the ignore function. I can't silence someone for having a unpopular opinion. Leaving it at that.
Some one tell PV that's the wrong way to do it because that's not how they did it on
Mario high school team.In what way am I acting like Villa is a nobody? I'm sticking to what we have seen. Villa took all the free kicks on goal pre-Pirlo and scored a on them at an impressive rate. Pirlo arrived and immediately took over. Clear indication that PV/Villa/Team deferred to him and his rep as one of the best free kick takers in the world. Pirlo has now spent 2+ years skying balls into the stands and drilling them off walls with 1 free kick goal. If you are going purely off performance Villa should have taken back over about a year ago as a result. I'm speculating that something more than results is driving the decision to allow Pirlo to continue taking them. If it helps you to sleep better at night to think that you're hero Pirlo still has all his magic but it only shows in practice and disappears during the games don't let me stop you.
During the playoff game last year at Yankee Stadium was the only time I can remember Villa taking a free kick with Pirlo on the field. And it definitely felt like Pirlo thought he was going to take it, and Villa decided he wanted that one. Kinda wish Villa would have done that more often. Of course, Villa didn't do anything with the subsequent FK, so maybe that's why
lolSome one tell PV that's the wrong way to do it because that's not how they did it on
