Nah, it's so that Robben, Sneijder and Van Persie do not have to defend. The problem is that when facing one striker, dynamic movement horizontally can confuse who is supposed to be marking who. Costa moves across the line and no one knows whether they should follow. Even worse is when Spain get a chance between the lines and they have to decide which player steps up to close that space down. All sorts of problems in this system versus one striker. Costa's movement this game has been nothing short of brilliant. People might hate him but he's as good as Aguero off the ball.

I think Blind also plays in the midfield for Ajax, so you don't hear about him in the best LB conversation.


He's basically playing like a wide midfielder in this system, but he played nearly 20 games for Ajax at LB. He's not a natural LB, nor should he be in the conversation for the best LB. He should get a move to a bigger club after this tourney.

De Guzman has been trash so far. Bring on Clasie or Fer.

Janmaat on the right side has started to get a lot of recognition this year, with talks of a move to a bigger club and he's 24 too..

I'm wondering of Willems would have been first choice LB if he didn't get hurt..

Good point. They both had great navies in their prime.

Apparently Spain's Red and Black shirts where too similar to the Dutch blue away shirts.

It makes little sense.
