Being able to keep the ball is one thing, actually doing something with it is very much another.

Spain won very much the same way Italy won, they dived their way to the top and Iniesta was the worst cuplrit.

How much did they accomplish? They won the world cup. Not really understanding how you think possession doesn't mean anything. It means everything. It means you control the flow of the play, you create chances, you limit opposition chances.

Holland knew they didn't have the skill to play a possession game with Spain, so they tried to bully their way through it. And the possession game still won.

Holland were a disgrace yesterday. A team that was scared of playing football against Spain.
