Paul the Octopus has said Spain is gonna win!!.
 
Octopus: He chose Germany? I think so too. He chose Spain? Well, if it's true...see my post on previous page.

I wish both teams the best of luck; they are both winners in my eyes. Again, may the best team win.


(lol) The parakeet, the octopus...can someone please ask a land animal that knows a thing or two these two don't?
 
Total Football has been 'stolen' from us by the Germans though, but of course there is simply no way they will be able to beat the true masters. Heck, the current German coach had to come to Holland to learn about it....LOL


Centurion: nononononono :D

True! Total football was invented by the Ajax and Dutch!
I still think that this generation of Dutch national team is not the best of all time, because I think that the teams from 1974, 1978 and 1988 were stronger than this one today. If Germany beats Spain, I will root for Holland because they really deserve to finally win WC!
Cheers! :t-cheers:



Total football in the classic sense died a long time ago.
It was a 4-3-3 system that used horizontal movement and was offensive. Players would form one wing to another or the middle to create spaces.


The current system is a flexible/non-rigid 4-2-3-1 that has vertical movement and flex into offensive,mid-field, defensive and over-defensive.

The flexible 4-2-3-1 formation has been recorded to flex/turn into 4-2-2-2, 4-4-2, 4-5-1 (Valencia, Espanyol), 4-4-1-1 or 6-3-1 or 5-1-3-1 for defense (Spain, Holland, Germany, Inter) and even 9-0-0-1/10-0-0-0 "fortress"/heavy desperate defense (Spain when the Germany took possession and attacked desperately, Inter vs. Barcelona ).

The total football 4-3-3 formation is mostly dead, as is the 4-4-2 and the rigid/ classic version of the 4-2-3-1.


The current dutch team used the mid-field to push towards offensive and defensive when needed.


Modern football demands vertical flexibility, the capacity to blur the lines and flex into rock-paper-scissor to gain the tactical advantage.
 
It's quite disappointing the way Germany played and went out. However, I hope Holland takes it.
 
Freakin brilliant game..
Both teams killed themselfs..and i feel so sorry for Forlan..one of the true giants of this WC..

But in the end..germany deserved it.. and its a triumph for Uru to reach 4th place:)

Oh and im so glad klose didnt play..so the record can still belong to Ronaldo..
I hope klose is done when 2014 comes:D

PS
Im allready nervous for Oranje!!!!... **** paul..hahaha

It was really a brilliant game. And Klose will not play the WM2014 - the next EM is going to be his last performance with the german national team.

Can't wait to see the game tonight. Hope it is going to be a thrilling game.
 
Great game yesterday, more than I expected in a match for 3rd. Bummer that Klose couldn't play.

Anyway, it's all set for tonight. I didn't think I'd ever say that: GO ORANJE!


Best regards,
south
 
I hope Netherlands win this cup for the sake of proving that damn octopus to be wrong. Everyone of my friends is convinced the Octopus travelled back to the future and managed to get hold of an almanac.
 
What a game! Magnificent moves... a bit sorry for the guys on account of the 0-0 result this far.
