Germany played the against Portugal without a known striker. The only striker they brought for the World cup did not play. Yet they scored three goals. Their tactic of playing without a striker must have confused the opposing side! Who to mark? Its a new way of playing football.
The heavy defeat of the Spanish by the Dutch signals the end of the Tiki Taka football. At least I think so. It worked for a while but after a while, the other teams know how to play against them. The failure of Barcelona to win any trophy last season is another indication that the style has last its course. From now on, Spain will have to think of new ideas or else, they are going to go out of the World cup sooner than they think.
