I hope so too but have this feeling that Germany's tactics might JUST be the

tactics which can undo Argentina and Spain.

And that they are too similar to the Dutch style (whilst not precisely the same) for them to play the counter as effectively against them.

I think Holland's best chance is against Germany. All it takes against the clogs is a team like Brazil who have the discipline not to go to s**t after conceding (which is what happened - own goal against the run of play, Brazil look shaky suddenly and the Dutch did a great job of pressing even harder to keep forcing mistakes). Thought Brazil opened them up at times until they fell apart.
