Fwiw…here’s an excellent tactical breakdown of the Honduran match. The Honduran backline shape really broke down after their subs. It seems we got very lucky the top three pressers got into man on man pressing situations. The MO against us is to simply bypass the MF which seems CONCACAF has figured out to do with 4 in the back whether we play a 3-5-2 or 4-3-3. The 4-3-3 at least puts an extra MFer in place to either press or provide cover.

tdlr: the outside backs stayed too wide and Honduras bypassed the press and we’re able to turn in face 2 MFs which is what you don’t want to have happen. Really poor setup from GgG.
