I like your writing Rodger so please don’t take this the wrong way. And I know prefacing something like that is usually a sign of something negative to come but bear with me. I enjoy parts of the Ringer and previously Grantland because of how in depth the articles are in breaking things down. Having KOC put together articles with videos that show what analytics tell us is fantastic stuff. And I’ve seen that here with soccer commentary too. It’s something I cannot find everywhere else. However, the substance of this article can be read everywhere. It was talked about on the pregame show and the postgame show and any soccer blog designed to be consumed by US fans. I’m not sure this tournament requires an in depth breakdown of anything but I just expected slightly more than this.
