someone Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Confed Cup final 2013 Brazil vs Spain from where the downfall started .Their tactics were deciphered to the core .Its not easy using the same tactics for this long' date=' and expect opposition not to find the loopholes which they did .[/quote'] It's very simple to say tactics, but that's a very incomplete answer. You need right players to play tactics well. Spain had some off form players and a weak defense this WC. The coach put loyalty over ability by sticking to those same players and that which ultimately cost them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sachin=GOD Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 This is what happens when you bench your best players. It wasn't a bad decision. Xavi and Pique weren't looking that good in the first match so they were dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLICKR392 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Xavi wasn't looking very good in Lal Liga also. And he's 34. Benching Villa and persisting with Costa despite him being way ward throughout the first half. Torres was sent in late in both games. Him or Mata should have replaced Costa right after the HT. This might be it for Bosque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sachin=GOD Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 BATTLE CRIES By JENNIFER DANIEL JUNE 18, 2014 The world’s best soccer players bring their own unique style to the game. So it is only fitting that the commentators react in kind — calling a goal with passion and personality. The jubilance that expands a commentator’s call of “goal” to fill five, six, even 10 seconds of time seems universal, but there is regional variation. Different languages play a part, but so do regional sensibilities and the spirit of individual announcers. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/06/19/sports/worldcup/goooooooooooooal.html?smid=tw-share Awesome!!!!
