This was excellent! I think the lack of goals from Pep’s players in the Euros is a great testament to his tactics and systems.

I definitely think there is something to the “system player” narrative going around - particularly when I watch Foden. I think he is one of the world’s best, but it’s striking how uncomfortable he looks in that out-of-rhythm England side

Yes, totally agree- I expected Foden to be a more integral part of the scoring for England. Although, it doesn’t seem like any of England’s players (regardless of club) are really living up to expectations

This was a great story. I reminds me of the concept of reciprocal altruism in human behavior in applied game theory strategies. I write extensively about this in my strategic thing stories on Medium and in AskLewis.Substack.com
