I take great heart in seeing Spain (and Barcelona) lose. I have nothing against the country or club, but they do play the same endless boring boring passing game. I think opponents simply get bored or mesmerised playing them and fall into a trance. Maybe that's part of their plan? Brazil are much more of an exciting team to watch with so many different styles and pace changes to their game - not unlike Bayern.

However, Pat Nevin did a very eye opening piece on the Spanish passing style which is well worth a look for those that haven't seen it.

Very admirable perhaps, even so, still boring. I noticed even at 3-0 down the Spanish had no plan B, Plan A obviously wasn't working against Brazil. This was not a good example of Pat Nevin's observations as they were under heavy pressure last night which
they aren't so used to.
