Yeah, there's no one with outstanding speed. They only appear fast when they are passing well and moving as a unit because that's just so hard to stop. They were cheating a lot last night, with some forwards way too high and looking for a stretch pass. There were lots of missed or intercepted long passes (which I found funny because so many here long for the stretch pass days).
