The “set piece” - a term created by American commentators in the last WC to try describe the area of purported American soccer strength. But what it means is that USMNT play best when the game stops & the players can gather in formation. That term means nothing anywhere else.https://twitter.com/isailor56/status/1010541366282031104 …
I think "set-piece" is a term borrowed from England .... and the England team is certainly benefiting from its prowess at set-pieces at this World Cup!
