Yes, of course you're right, I suppose we have to accept them as World and
European Champions. I'm just so against the way they did it, the world having
to accept their same old same old dull routine.
Perhaps the climate does influence style and it might help to explain why some
British teams employ long ball tactics - to keep the strikers from freezing on
winter fixtures?
Maybe Torres believes his comment to be well founded - same question please to
the other members of the Spanish squad, perhaps they'd all answer in the same
way?

unworthy? for real? Its not really THAT easy to win mate, I thought you d
know by now. I d be more inclined to agree if you said Greece and Italy but not
spain.
I too dislike Spains style of playing and was very happy to see them loose.
The thing is that Brazil are known for the same style of football, pass the
bass around for a bit and then explode into something. Does it have to do with
playing under sun/heat? Heat tends to slow things around right? So no wonder
theres a culture for that style of playing in warm countries if my theory is
somewhat correct.
Having said that, Spain took that style of play to the extreme. its boring to
watch and Im ready for someone else, just not fuxxxing italy.
On a different note: Torres made a dumb comment. There is not 1 way of
playing football, there is not one way of making music etc.

we're that far behind.

Yeah, stupid world and European champions. Not like us witty, clever,
potless Brits.

I seem to recall Torres being asked, after Spain had lost to
Switzerland, why they hadn't gotten the ball hoofed into the mixer (I
paraphrase). "Because that's not football", he replied.
Admirable, and just a little bit stupid.
