I wonder what will happen in the future. Spain is so dominant like no other generation of a national football team has been in history.

Damn Holland invented total football but exported it to Span and Barcelona in the 80's and now it's transformed into tiki-taka in the Spanish national team and all of a sudden they're invincible. Meanwhile Holland is gone back to England loser style football (or are they trying a poor man's Germany, I don't know). Damn England and Holland, why can't you be good?

What should the other teams do? Try to counter it like Portugal and Italy tried by hard pressing, or by extreme defense that most teams do, or should you just rely on your own style like Germany?`Or should you try to copy tiki-taka? Will we see a top nation try to copy tiki-taka?

In Germany they're saying: Now that we play like the Dutch (attractive football) we lose like the Dutch.

Or so the Dutch tv tells me.
