Why are people complaining about Spain's style of play? It's a game where you're supposed to try to have position of the ball for most of the time and score more goals than your opposition. They do both, so check and check. Yes, they do pass the ball around too much for their own good at times, so much that you see them getting into a tangle in the opposition's penalty box too often rather than taking the damn shot already, but every team has one thing or the other to work on. You can't deny the individual skills of the players though, which can and does often result in anything from a deft touch to an accurate cross to a defender-bisecting pass to a freak goal by David Villa (too bad he's having to sit out this time). What's the point of attacking to the tune of the Samba if you can't even finish, or perform an aesthetically pleasing Denilson dribble only to run out of gas when it comes to shooting at goal?
