the thing about Uruguay's 4-4-2 is, essentially, it was so much more than a 4-4-2, their two central midfielders operated almost like the double-pivot midfield you see in modern 4-2-3-1's, that combined with forlan dropping deep off suarez, practically made it a 4-2-3-1. Although, i'd stick my kneck out here, and say that the Uruguay boss was on the best tacticians at the world cup, as he changed his tactics suitably for different games/opposition, to brilliant effect...

disappointed not to see Johnson, if Barry, Milner and Johnson keep playing for man city, thats very good for England, they link well and i think Capello could have possibly tried it, ahh well good luck to walcott none the less.
All these people saying they wont watch England disgust me, i live in America and ive just paid 12 dollars (about 8 pounds) to watch the game, if its your country you should do all you can to watch the game.
EDIT: Theres nothing wrong with 4-4-2. so can we stop this boring debate now? gets old.

Someone's been reading their zonalmarking.
Really, the point I made didn't really scratch the surface. See all of madsheep and andy townsend's points - much more in depth and echo my thoughts on the subject.

Ill make a quick point, Harry Redknapp plays 4-4-2 every game, look at the world class jobs hes done with the teams he has managed, ferguson uses 4-4-2 sometimes, im finding it confusing to see whos arguing on which side.Someone's been reading their zonalmarking.

this little spell is exactly what i mean, we didnt get anywhere near this kind of movement before south africa. now its about the thinking of the players, less is more in this case. he has set up a framework in which the players should do their natural thing

ive always said, the formation is just a framework, which is why i say nothing is wrong with a 4-4-2, this one looks more fluid and more freedom is being used, you could play a fluid 6-3-1 if you wanted, as i said, its just a framework.

Who's vice captain, Barry?
Probably. Either him or Wazza.
maybe so, but its 4-4-2 vs 4-4-2. very different to a 3 man mid where its more important

ive noticed something, when England have the ball, a diamond is formed sometimes, with gerrard playing deeper than barry oO)
When would Gerrard ever play Centre Mid in a midfield 3?
sorry that should be against a 3 man mid, but also for liverpool, when cole plays amc
lol. as ive said its 4-4-2 vs 4-4-2 though. different kettle of fish. i could end up eating a lot of humble pie at the end of this but if it leads to a great england performance i dont careEngland 1-0 Bulgaria
Gerrard 1-0 Madsheep
