Ok, today we played Uruguay, this was the hardest match of the group IMO...
We missed a total of 7 1 on 1's. (1 on 1's meaning nothing between the striker and the keeper) Our winger played great today, I actually got lucky that I tweaked his positioning because if I didn't he'd be offsides a lot of times because last game I had him as high as the strikers but this time I put him a notch behind. At first when the score was 1-0 to the 60th minute I thought the engine was going to screw us over because we had 5 missed 1 on 1's up to that point...
As for Uruguay they surprised me with that tactic, The had been playing with 4 defenders for that past 2 seasons... Our throw ins sucked in the middle because of their high defensive line... :/ The only throw ins that worked were the ones in their corner sides... They didn't do a good job of covering it and some great crosses came through there. Also my striker positioning worked "ok" because they totally changed their tactic but some nice through passes came through... I LOVED our wingers positioning at all times though... He was always open and most of the time onside... Our defense played great today and our gk had a couple of saves and did what he had to do. We could have won by more but I'm satisfied with the result :) 4-0 for USA

I'm sure you wouldnt. It's impossible, you can't turn into a sokker player ;)
If Uruguay is the toughest in our Group, then punch us through!!!
Well they have the best ratings but not so great tactics ... And We'll get through ;) Don't worry :D
It's called disciplining your team and focusing them in practice, obviously
