Not only were Hannibal's schemes foiled for the first time with the failure of the elephant gambit, he also will be skewered by Massinissa's cavalry when it comes back. Even his numeric advantage is not decisive, as it is counterattacked by the order, discipline and new battle tactics of...

Scipio's maneuver of opening his ranks to let the elephants pass through resembles the maneuver of the Macedonian Phalanx of Alexander the Great in the Battle of Gaugamela in 331 B.C., some 100 years before this battle. They opened ranks to let Darius's war charriots to pass through the ranks...

Basically, he has the footballing IQ of a rock and can't understand shit of tactics, but he has the capacity for improvisation.

I sense the Pelé/Garrincha vibe coming from Ryuu and Sakuraba.

I don't agree with the substitution and i would like to hear the reasoning behind it. One of the possible explanations is using Oda's speed to catch the other team of guard as they will open up more trying to get a goal, and he switched Ryuu off to mantain the team shape, and also as a mean of...

Tomosaka's advice was definitely heeded. It was nice that Ryuu went for a aggressive run into the box while also making full use of his vision. Also, nice dribbling. Shame Mako wasn't expecting the pass, but a 9 should always be in alert for a goal possibility. Lets see who will take the...

Responding to Alexvinssi: Because playing as a second striker is a incentive to make him work on his dribbling, as well as being more aggressive and bold. He has lots of potential, and the youth level is the perfect time to make adjustments to your game. Adding aggressive runs and dribbling into...

Not necessarily overthinking. Ichijou is stepping out of his comfort zone, trying to be a bolder player so that he can become able to face the world stage. The problem is it tends to create mistakes at first, as he is not much used to dribbling since he came back. His skillset is more akin now...

I think Ichijou could better replace one of the central midfielders as he is now. He has vision, decent marking, passing and long range shooting. But playing in Oda's position will be key for him to regain his boldness and refine his dribbling. After playing a little as second striker, i would...
