This tournament is proof that jumping reach, heading, teamwork, and work rate are OP based on how many center halfs won matches they wouldn’t on paper

[@avienated]

Perhaps. From my experience heading isn't really needed to score heading goals though, high jumping reach gets the job done for some weird reason. I know personally in real life that's not the case ;)

I think it was more the impact on their gk and set pieces. They seemed to make much better GKs. Plus all those centre-backs that did well are decent on the ball and not slow, Rudiger and Van Dijk are both pretty quick as well as the jumping reach and strength.

I don’t think he was wrong. You have different type of midfielders and 10 midfielders have a better chance to win then 10 defenders and 10 forwards. You need a mix of Modric, Kante, Debruyne, etc. to win, but I think it can be done.
