I don't really care what a Finnish commentator is saying. How anyone can watch a game like the Dutch/Spain game and say the Dutch play a boring style is just bewildering.

It's entertaining if the other side has a total defensive collapse the way Spain did, but saying that the game was entertaining because of the way Netherlands plays in general is just silly.
Long ball to Van persie.
Long ball to Robben.
Corner kick.
Long ball to Robben.
Goalie fumble.
Yes, Robben and Van Persie are amazing to behold, much as I dislike them as players. But that has nothing to do with the way Netherlands plays in general.
They almost effed up the game against Australia, which was the only time they actually tried to control the ball some. So I get why they're doing it, don't get me wrong. But it's still a terrible style of football.
