    I'm stuck on USA... they are 77%, I'm anywhere from 85%-87% depending on formation, but I don't understand... even with the 8% user bonus, 10% position bonuses (from training), and superior midfielders, they still have 55%-60% possession every game.

    They only have 2 defenders but have beaten me 2-1, 5-0, 2-0... I just can't score any goals against them! I don't understand why. What formation did you guys (who beat them) use against them? I tried my regular 4-4-2 formation and lost 2-1, then I tried to match them in the midfield with a 2-6-2 formation but that's when I got blown out 5-0, so then I went with a super defensive/counter attack 4-5-1 formation but still lost 2-0 (was 0-0 until like 75' then they scored 2 late goals)... ugh. My only goal was from a free kick, so in three games I have not scored against them from normal play, even though my team is averaging 4 goals per game in league play and they only have 2 defenders...

    I beat USA 2-0 with 451v defense/flanks/mixed/off/high/normal/zonal/off

    Won Argentina 3-2 in extra time. Tried multiple things. All my goals scored with.

    Defense/flanks/mixed/on/high/normal/m2m/on (451v)

    Will try Uruguay tommorrow.

    A theory going around on the fb groups is to play hard attacking - long balls and stack the box with offensive players.

    Seems to be multiple ways people are winning this.

    I do think there is a possibility that their are multiple versions of this 2 defender formation. Going back to the last challenge. The Colossal my association played against, ran a 4-3w-3 but would change between easy, normal and hard tackles from game to game. So I do think it is possible there are multiple versions of this 2-1-2-4-1 floating around, to increase the perceived randomness of this event.
