No, it isn't everything, but it kind of is the point of the game. You make it sound like they only play win at all costs football when that obviously isn't true.
This is great :lol

I think no European team has ever won the World Cup in America, yet.
2nd most entertaining team from CONCACAF. They've been great to watch. I mean, they always turn up in the world cup but they have been so damn good. This game is going to be damn good.
I hope.
Memphis Depay, afraid we can't hold him after this WCHope we get atleast 30 mil for him.
yeah ;/ Can't see PSV doing well next season. oh well.
No man I agree, they were constantly flopping over in the box asking for yellow cards and penalties, good thing they lost though.
2/10
Uhh Brazil and Argentina ain't that good. I can see Chile/Uruguay/Costa Rica reaching the (semi) finals. Germany and The Netherlands are the only European countries who play ok.

Good on Spain for putting on a good performance when they already got eliminated.
David Villa still great in my heart.

It's like they are the eternal dark horse. I wonder when they'll break the curse.
Messi will cement his GOAT status and take home the cup this year

WTF, just because they changed players doesn't mean they changed the tactic. Today Holland parked the bus and waited for holes in our defensive line. That happened in the second half because our defense got weaker when Valdivia entered the field.
I still think there's nothing wrong with that (except for the bad show). As I said, I think Van Gaal was extremely intelligent

V.gaal said he was waiting for the last 20 minutes to makes these substitutions, because he knew Chile always get tired and play less good in those 20 minutes.
Chile still a class team, can't wait to see how they will do against brazil.

Ahh, I just stopped there. Go away with this childish behaviour.

Are you Dutch or Iranian mate (or both?)? Just wondering since I remember you cheering your socks off for Iran the other day as they played horribly and referring to "them" as "we".
I could've just been high on something that day lol, if so disregard.

People talking shit on Holland is ridiculous. Chile's strong offense looked confounded and they barely got any chances out of it. Then they still scored 2 goals out of the game in the end.
They've only gotten scored on once outside of two debatable penalties and it was a ridiculously unlikely volley.

Strategy doesn't equal tactics. Personally I expected this exact scenario. Tire down Chile first half, bring in the fresh talent 2nd half, boom victory. But if you only want to see it through the other lens, that's okay too.
If Croatia beats Mexico, they are through, and Mexico is essentially out, I think.

It should be a fun game, both teams always play attacking the whole time. No parking bus. The thing is, Brasil has very dangerous players, so one mistake and we'll be fucked
It will be interesting for sure.

Nope. Fighting for it tonight. Mexico vs. Croatia could be one hell of a dirty match.
this is basically correct...
unless somehow cameroon beats brazil by a bazillian goals...
so, yes, it's very likely that mexico is out if croatia wins.
Mexico is in the next round with a win or a tie.

VdB screwed up this WC big time
let's be real
he had the players in his squad to do wonders, but his tactics, his decisions of who to play... awful, awful
and even in the game to salvage your honour you take off your country's leading scorer in his final game ridiculously early while leaving the world's must underperforming striker on the field
though i love torres

Damn, my english is not very good. Can you point me out what's the difference between both? I've always used them as synonyms.
True. And no team has ever won the WC with a foreign coach.

Basically strategy is long term planning, see it as the overal theme you are using. While tactics are what you use on the spot, as such they can change from moment to moment and from play to play.
I'm just going to say one thing... Prepare for it
lol
The only positive thing about this World Cup I just won 45 euros. :_( with this last match.
See you in the next Eurocup, not sure if we will participate as Spain xDXD.
So sad, not because we are out but not this way...
I hope it's not true but newspapers and radios are saying del Bosque could continue leading this group. 🙇🙇🙇

fuck. That gif is breaking my heart.
I've always liked how Villa plays, I've followed his career since he was in Valencia.
dude deserved better.
There have only been 4 world cup in SA so far, and 6 if you count Mexicom the last one being on 1978. So this fact doesn't mean anything
