I think you're right about Germany Cornie. Who do you stop?
Kroos? Fine. Here's Bastian and Sami.
Muller? Uhoh who's looking after Schurrle etc?
WTF is Neuer doing sweeping up, where's Hummels got to?
etc etc.
I think there was attacking intent. It was attacking by closing down.
There was a point in the extra time where huntlaar dropped back to cover Messi because Sneijder (i think) had pushed him back and then pushed onto the defender. That was beautiful to see. Then even better when Huntlaar moved back up and pushed Sneijder back.
That and the constant distance between each player on the same team. Triangles of space and that.
