Is any national team good enough defensively to "pull an Inter"?

Although they did lose to the USA.
Spain are like Barcelona with actual front men (Torres and/or Villa) and people capable of shots from outside the box (Fabrecas/Alonso), which is terrifying, but makes you wonder if someone could pull an Inter on them.
I rather doubt it to be honest, but then, Spain isn't as good as Barcelona either (Torres is not Messi, though not far behind, even when he's at his best, and he's not at his best now). Still, anybody trying to do nothing but defend with 11 players for the final twenty minutes of a game is likely to pay for it. That performance was insane - insane that they tried it, but even more insane that they actually pulled it off.
It's almost here.... The World Cup

Killen is so confident that he's booked his honeymoon for the same time as the playoffs. Brilliant. *NM*

Additional freakish statistic: Spain have won 96% of matches under Vicente del Bosque.

Makes sense. They've done it before, and it's always the national team strategy...

Meh. Look at Italy's defenders.

That's funny coming from a German.

Well, not quite in the same manner as Inter. That was, as you said, insane.

I thought there might be a ritual sacrifice of vacuum cleaners to cleanse the game.

Oh, but if Drogba does play then Ivory Coast have a great shot at the quarters

That's like saying England would have a home advantage in Russia. *NM*

Did anyone read about North Korea's hilarious screw-up with their third keeper?

Truthfully, I'll watch, but I doubt I'll be a huge supporter of any country.

I've been a traditional supporter of Germany. But I do support Australia too.
