Scott Parker is actually a pretty good central midfielder, but the rest of the talent is pretty thin.

Its also incredibly boring and totally useless sometimes. They lost 1-0 against England despite 71% possession. Those are the kinds of games they typically won. If Torres or David Villa cant get it done that team is toast. All the ball control in the world is useless if you never put the ball in the back of the net.
The dominance of Spain, and by association Barcelona, is going to begin to founder, particularly as that core gets older. I think we'll see the systems of Holland and Germany come to the fore, and thank God, at least they arent painfully boring to watch.

They set the World Record as the team that scored the fewest goals yet won the World Cup.
