I think that was a 3-5-2 formation as well. It was off a rebound ... the same play that works pretty well for me in Fifa '08. Clearly 3-5-2 is the new 4-4-2.

]]> Comment on Soccer for President? by Sangy Farha http://soccerati.com/2008/11/soccer-for-president-2/#comment-20 Sangy Farha Thu, 06 Nov 2008 01:40:29 +0000 http://soccerati.com/?p=58#comment-20 I'm actually not highly impressed with the Ljunberg signing. It smacks of the signing tendencies of the old NASL. With the exception of a two or three stars of the time period, NASL signed a number of European stars near the end of their careers. I don't know if this is smart. Ljunberg at one point was one the EPL's brightest stars with Arsenal, but time may have caught up with him. As for the Obama bump in soccer; get a life LA Times. At most one can hope for two or five percent bump in fans. Listen to Oliver Tse's take on fan/TV growth and most MSL execs would love a 10 to 15 percent bump. But the reality of such growth grows within a five to ten year window. Sports grow not because of presidential elections, but through mulitple factors spanning economic, social, and yes sometimes political factors.

The rain was quite heavy and there was clearly an earthquake in north London. Oh and Rafa's dog ate the homework. Frankly I blame adverse weather conditions.
