I think those results would have been very different if they hadn't lost to the Swiss

it shaped their tournament from there on. I think they switched from thinking they were the best, to just "lets do what we need to to win"

Like I said, if it was Uruguay who won it playing like that, the neutral would love it, but when it's a retaining team, that want to win goes

Greece was appaulling football, but compelling

Also niave tactic teams drop from tournaments very early because of their flair

By accepting Morinho's tactics, Real are on course for the Champions league final instead of scraping into the quarters with goals everywhere and red cards
