I think Germany ended with 78% possession in it. voice-verified

And dealing with the crosses kind of took a yeoman's effort to constantly clear and not have clearances up the middle, you know, not have the keeper drop any of them, all that kind of stuff. voice-verified

Yes. voice-verified

Short answer. voice-verified

Yes. voice-verified

But it is incredibly taxing on the group to do it again and again and again. voice-verified

And do they want to play that way? voice-verified

Well, that's a great question, because there's the want, and then there's the sort of pragmatic side of it, which is, do you want to give yourself the best shot at advancing? voice-verified

And it stops, stops, rims. voice-verified

Yeah, it doesn't work. voice-verified

None of it works. voice-verified

say like the low block in soccer or however you want to determine it or what whatever well it doesn't have to be that okay it's just you have a sort of commitment to defending yes and then when you get the ball you're trying to possess for a little bit longer stretches as opposed to really trying to hit someone on the counter right you know you don't want to you don't want to just ice it voice-verified

Don't ice it. voice-verified

I mean, if it's late in the match, ice if you're up one. voice-verified

But now it's interesting. voice-verified

I don't know how much of Portugal and Croatia you watched yesterday. voice-verified

So the first half, because it's funny, that match, we'll talk about it later. voice-verified

That match will go down as one of the most entertaining matches of the World Cup. voice-verified

Well, the second half, at least. voice-verified

But the first half was very crafty. voice-verified
