Teams playing in the World Cup fell in to two basic categories, those that use a single striker and those that use two. It occured to me (and I could be wrong) that those who used two strikers in the first round scored more goals than those that didn't. Argentina, Spain and Germany scored 8 goals each, Brazil 7 goals. They use two strikers. Portugal(5), Holland (3), U.S.A. (2) and France (only 1 goal when using a single striker) attack with one.
Call me crazy, but it seems to me that if you want to score you want to use two strikers. I'm no Bruce Arena but I WAS born in Brooklyn...
