RSL’s game this Wednesday night against Minnesota brings playoff contention and teddy bears. For Kick Childhood Cancer night, fans are encouraged to bring teddy bears to the game and throw them onto the pitch after RSL’s first goal. While waiting in great anticipation for that first goal, here are the standard plays and patterns to look out for.
Since RSL plays a 4-4-2, they won’t prioritize playing the ball down the middle. RSL’s majority of possession will rotate across the backline and down the wings. This formation with two strikers up top is widely known for long balls over the top.
