Hey soccer fans, I hope everyone enjoys the game today. It should be a great one. I need to meet up with some friends that flew in for our 35th high school reunion, but I told them that I either need to be home or have access to a TV at 2:30. You know a girl just has to have priorities. Later soccer/World Cup fans !!!

Good for you. If we were there, we’d be in for a treat. Holland has apparently given up on it’s “beautiful” style of play by, for instance, letting Robben cut inside to get a foul or kick it off defenders to make a corner. Spain, having better players, plays the older Dutch style of playing a passing game to open up the full field and spread the defense. The midfield from Spain is made from players from the team in Barcelona, a club that has heavy Dutch influence. It’s kind of a New Holland vs. Old Holland game.

We won’t be able to see all the stratigery because the camera will focus down on the players that are in range of the next pass. Look to see if Holland can consistently get the forward pass from the defenders to Robben. If the Dutch can, that means that the Spanish midfield isn’t cutting that pass out like they did in the game against Germany.
