I assume this was coaching - and poor coaching at that. As you say, the correct strategy would have been to send players aggressively forward. It should have been possible to saturate the Spanish defence, which is prone to sending 2 or 3 players at the ball and putting themselves out of position. They are vulnerable to a team which is willing to move the ball quickly and has options to which the ball can move, but that wasn't Sweden in the 2nd half...
This next game I hope the Russians score early and get the Greeks out of the defensive game - one half of boredom is enough for today.
