Why this matchup matters

Two football ideas, one impossible night

Rúben Amorim's Manchester United 2025/26 bring 3-4-2-1 and wing-backs with vertical attack. Tommy Svensson's Sweden 1994 answer with 4-4-2 and two strikers with tournament steel; the matchup is decided by which side can impose that identity without exposing its weakest transition.
