Edited June 23, 2021 by Cheez3y

[Cheez3y]

October 2021 Part 1

Pretty good game vs Jamaica.

 

Looking at the table was the win pretty important.

[Cheez3y]

October 2021 Part 2

We started the game after 15 minutes...

Slowly they are gettin used to the 442.

 

Mexico and Jamaica lost some point, the gap is gettin bigger.

[Cheez3y]

Tough game vs Costa Rica.

Missed a pen and got a late goal against us...

 

Already 4 pts between 4th and 5th.

[Cheez3y]

November 2021 Part 1

Tight game, where we should have scored a goal.

 

[Cheez3y]

November 2021 Part 2

And we finish the year with a solid victory against Trinidad.

 

Mexico is struggling a bit.

[Sheriff7]

Aek Athens Levi Garcia must be Trinidad's best player.

He is 3rd in the list, but he is the youngest player with 24.

[Cheez3y]

November 2021 Part 2

Sounders won after pens vs Galaxy.

 

Montreal is also in the semi final, so a potential Canadian final is possible.

[Cheez3y]

November 2021 Part 3

Lucas "Big Game" Necul got us into the Conference final after extra time.

In the Conference final we play the 2015 MLS cup winner Portland.

 

[Cheez3y]

Absolutly smashed Portland.

 

And we play David Beckhams Inter Miami!

We played them once this season and lost pretty deserving.

I used this 442 in two saves before.

 

First version in my Lyf TF save:

 

Second Version in my Wits FC save:

But they always had their flaws and I was perma changing something.

 

The 3rd version at Vancouver is best one.

I think I found the right roles and I think the team fluidity "flexible" describes this tactic perfect.

I start with it and just make some adjustment ingame.

It really works well.

November 2021 Part 5

Awesome first year.
