Why this matchup matters

Two football ideas, one impossible night

Vincent Kompany's Bayern Munich 2025/26 bring 4-2-3-1 and high press with wide forwards. Bruce Arena's United States 2002 answer with 4-4-2 and work rate with counter attack; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
