  • @SWeeX3103

    which noob plays 3-5-2?

    world cup winners Argentina '86, Germany '90, Brazil '94

    Euro winners Germany '96

    African Cup winners Egypt '06, '08, '10

    In the mid 80s to mid 90s 3-5-2 was THE most common formation

    It is still one of the most common formationsin south america, especially Brazil (what would they know)

    Napoli, who came 3rd in Serie A this year use this formation

    you are the noob
