So why wouldn't you just kick it right at the goalkeep during overtime kicks?

That's what I would coach.

Don't you look reallllllly dumb, that time when the keeper just stands there and catches it?

Even when they dive to either side their legs are still in the middle of the goal so there's a decent chance they can get a piece of it. This scenario actually played out during the WC this year.

On the other hand if you can bury one upper/lower corner with pace, it's pretty much unstoppable.

What happened to Bellerin's potential? He looks like crap so far this entire year. His positioning has always been suspect but his speed is even gone. He's getting straight up beat to the outside pretty commonly.

He looks lost for long stretches during games. We have to look for a really good stay behind the line d guy, like Ferdinand. When Nacho is your star in the back, there is a problem.

1. He's not very athletic for this level
2. He sucks as a D covering mid. Was never his game but Wenger tried to pigeonhole him there

You're right though. When Monreal is the #1 star.....that's pretty troubling. Like the guy, but come on. Can we get 2 CB's that are capable?

Edit: Make that Central Missouri University.

The "building from within" United, in year 2 - Bottom of the league, didn't sniff the playoffs.

Their expansion cousins - 2nd best team in the league by 7 points and are playing for the Championship tonight.

They are operating very MN-like. It's why I've been so down on them.

Atlanta won the MLS cup in their 2nd year. I praised them for going balls to the wall while the "Loons" were being a typical MN franchise. AKA cheap.

But, to answer your question, both. Arsenal are English.
