Meat Wall becomes new 2026 World Cup tool
According to sources, some teams are using the "meat wall" tactic in the penalty area during the 2026 World Cup, where tall and robust players gather to obstruct goalkeepers and closely follow set pieces. This approach has contributed to an increase in goals from corners, accounting for 70% of balls inside the penalty area in the recent season, with Arsenal exploiting this tactic to score 19 goals. The "meat wall" is considered a new strategic move that has influenced how set pieces are handled in the World Cup, especially in the knockout stages.
