Episode Notes
Marcelo Bielsa tried a bold "tactical reboot" against Saudi Arabia, and it nearly ended in disaster. Was Uruguay's late 1-1 draw a sign of genius or a warning of deeper issues within the camp?
Tim looks at Uruguay’s grueling World Cup opener. From the experimental "back three" and the use of two central strikers to the critical halftime changes that saved a point, we break down why Bielsa moved away from his signature 4-3-3 and why he was forced to return to it. We also touch on Spain's surprising result against Cape Verde and what this means for the most fascinating group in the tournament
