How to beat 4-4-2

[pcmacdaniel]

just watched this nonsense.... how this even possible...

Multiple things could be a cause for that; among the reason are

1. The losing team had low morale/condition and the winning team didn't.
2. Were any players playing out of position?
3. 4-4-2 is a versatile formation, hence what works against one persons 4-4-2 might not work against anothers. The reason is player "A" could be playing through the flanks and player "B" could be playing through the middle. Hence, although both players are using the 4-4-2, the are playing with different strategies, hence both tactics cannot be countered by the same formation. In the case of the 4-0 game you describe, if the player had red arrows the MC's and blue arrows on the ML/MR, the 4-3N-3 can indeed counter that version of the 4-4-2.
