All that tiki-taka. They have good technical skills in passing among themselves for most of a game, but the game as a spectacle suffers.

Frustrating. With an in form Torres they could be quite spectacular but it often seems like there is something missing. Goals! The best team in the world shouldn't just dominate possesion for 2 hours and squeak through on pens, they should decimate.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.' -

In their nine knock-out games in this and the previous two tournaments which they won, Spain have only scored 10 goals. Not a lot. And three of those came in the first, the euro 2008 quarter final.Comment

The consensus among the pundits is that possession is the way forward. Yet Italy beat Germany with what I would call "Anglo-Saxon" goals i.e. the long ball. Having a midfielder like Pirlo who can deliver that long ball is good. If Italy could also find some swift wingers to bomb up and down the sides they could bypass the Spanish midfield.Hard Brexit now!
