adapted and made it more progressive than it was it's not just purely counter attacking all the time I think like it's just like exciting to watch them at full flow they beat England with a like kind of breathtaking counter attacking goal scored by Matoma who's obviously a huge loss for them and then they also have a bit more of a direct edge that we wouldn't typically associate with Japanese sides therefore Ayesa Ueda is the most headed goals across Europe this season for Feyenoord
they've suggested that they're going to do long throws they haven't done it since but i think there's going to be a lot of that now with teams having more time now to kind of work on set piece routines that we're going to see a lot of surprises on that end so they're kind of a dynamic exciting team that i'm kind of looking forward to watching
I think of the co-hosts, Mexico are probably the most interesting to me.
Their coach, Javier Aguirre, this is like his third stint in charge.
And he has a bit of a reputation as kind of a firefighter, more of your like the Tony Pulis of La Liga.
But now, you know, with an expectant home crowd, it's not really going to cut it playing that brand of football.
So he's adopted a lot more of a progressive structure than he's used to.
So they play 4-3-3.
Fullbacks push really high, wingers tuck in, and they have quite a few exciting players from the domestic league.
Like, I know the main focal point is Raul Jimenez, and the style is very much dictated towards that.
A lot of crosses, and he's really effective for them.
But they have the youngest player in the tournament, Gilberto Moura, who's kind of a tricky attacking midfielder with, you know...
vision beyond his years type and then another player that cost my caught my eye was alexis vega he's in that kind of jordan shakiri mold of a stocky explosive winger who likes you know a long range screamer so
And they're, yeah, I think they're just more fun than they would be if they weren't hosts.
And then playing, you know, the whole atmospheric part of it, playing in Azteca, their advantage with the altitude.
I did look at their more, more renowned for their skill in making money, but Goldman Sachs produced a World Cup prediction model and, uh,
Altitude was one of the criteria that one of the model weights they put quite a bit on between that and being a host country.
So I think there is a lot in their favor to, you know, the Mexican curses playing the fifth game and definitely with around the 32, they should at least play a fifth game finally.
