Maybe it’s just me but it looks like the Dutch are using the tactics of the New England Patriots vs the Rams in Superbowl XXXVI. Hit them hard on every play and make them feel it

Of course Dutch might not be emulating the Pats as much as the Dutch Sea Beggers who were the terror of the Spanish and won the Dutch their independence.

In an hour or so we will see if they are as effective.

While browsing the net I had the Switzerland v Spain match on the TV in the background.

The Spanish played Soccer in an actual exciting fashion constantly on the attack they were pressing the Swiss so hard that is seemed every few min there was a shot on or near the goal.

But it seemed each one went wide or hit the crossbar or post or just went wide or was saved. I’ve never seen a team with so many chances.

The Swiss only had a few chances, but managed to score on one of them.

Even in Penalty time Spain had at least 5 chances none of them worked.

Spain is ranked 2nd in the world. The Swiss 26th.

If Soccer was actually LIKE this game on a regular basis Americans would enjoy it, but unfortunately this is more of the exception than the rule.
