5-3-2 reaps benefits! Oranje!

[Stonigut]

All those who love to talk about possession wins games, well Spain won the possession game 64% to Oranje 36% but the Dutch won 5-1.

Look like strong defense with fast skillful attackers is the way to go, counter attacking ball all the way, less risk on defense, greater opportunity on attack, sounds like a winner to me!

Dutch were not very impressive in the first half at all. Spain had the chance to go in up the first half and missed the chance.

Thats all relative to the quality you are working with.

Spain's defense could not handle Robben.

Iker Casallas is a bug keeper! No wonder Mourinho and Ancelotti benched him at Real.

I was expecting a more competitive game truly, what I can't understand is many have been saying that Spain has already peaked and that they being the cup holder had quite long odds to defend but even with that they negativity they did not rise to the occasion at all and the one goal via the penalty was a gift.
