>>> Switzerland has NO style <<<

The style they used was the same style USA used to beat Spain last year in the Confederations Cup.

Stack the box with defenders and eliminate the effectiveness of Spain's short pass, pass, pass score game.

Spain didn't adjust. They didn't spread the defense.

In the NFL, when they stack the box, you throw over the defense. You use the long pass. You spread the defense out and then hit the gaps going forward.

In the NBA, when you stack the lane, you hit the 3's. You go over the defense and cause them to come out. You spread em out.

Spain didn't spread the defense and the Swiss learned from the USA how to beat Spain.

You beat Spain by stacking the box and keeping the defenders on their feet. Spain better adjust.
