    I thought i was seeing things but it happened again with these one man kick offs. Probably some weird rule change to encourage attacking football.

    Until a few weeks ago the ball could only move forward from kick off meaning you had to have two men taking it or lose possession. The rule has changed so that the ball can move in any direction now, so only one man is needed.

    Gomez scored 26 goals this season. I know he's not in one of the top leagues, but still.

    Did Rashford do anything when he came on? It was on in work but despite our TL saying he'd do what he could to have me watching it he just watched it and let me basically run the team for a couple of hours.

    Saw enough to see the goals and enjoy the dismay of the Welsh and the office full of Anyone But England bitters I was surrounded by.

    He looks like such a little poindexter too. I bet in school he was the kid the teacher left in charge when they left the room. You can just see him standing at the front, taking his duty seriously and writing down the names of anyone talking, the little nerd.

    He looks like Lubitz, and I bet he's in to some right unspeakable shit, probably involving children and animals.

    This Poland side has got me thinking, if you're going to have a one man team, what's the ideal position for the one man to play in? Lewandowski can be as great as he likes but the man needs service.

    When Adebayor played/plays for Togo - the ultimate one man team that I've seen - he kind of just dropped deep and instigated everything because he was so much better technically than all his team mates.

    Poland aren't a one-man team. If Lewandowski didn't exist, they'd still be a very good side.

    Some sort of attacking midfielder/deep forward is surely the best, because you can just be SOLID and let them roam around doing what they like without risking your structure or having their work negated by a shit midfield/defensive partner.

    Think Wales have it sweet with Bale. Everyone behind the ball and hit Bale on the break. Plus he might fire in a 30 yarder

    They wouldn't, let's face it. They'd be Romania level.

    Putting in Zielinski and playing him as a 'NUMBER TEN!!!' would be a better option.

    The worst part is that the quality of these games isn't going to get better. The knockout rounds always see the weaker teams playing for a draw, waiting for penalties. So it's just going to be more of the same. Fuck this

    Can't Thomas Muller just be the striker with his quality movement? They seem to have enough midfielders that it would be worth a go.

    It all seems very doctrinal to me, like they're believing their own hype. The 2014 side wasn't a patch on the 1974 team.

    They'd be another dull central European side that has its moments, basically. With Lewandowski they have a permanent threat that other teams just don't have, which makes them a completely different side.

    I'm sure he could, @Lewis. There's no benefit of playing Gotze in the way they started. I can see why you'd play him as a false nine type in a 433 and midfield runners getting beyond him. But why have Ozil doing the in-the-hole stuff (in other words denying Gotze the opportunity to do what he's at) and Gotze just playing as a striker, which he's never going to be.

    Does Mario Gomez still vanish against anybody better than non-league standard? He might be alright until the semi-finals.
