I want to see open attacking football which presently only the Brazilians, Argentininas (ok they defended shambolically against Germany cf. England) and Germans (ok they were not at their best today) are good at
Do you remember the 1990 World Cup Hocke Final match between Pakistan and Holland in Lahore which we lost 1-3. Pakistan lost despite playing beautiful attacking hockey and dominating play. Almost 70% of the game was played in the dutch half but Shahbaz and co. somehow just could not penetrate their defence. Bovelander on the otherhand scored all three goals on penalty corners.
So as far as I am concerned scoring goals thru:
- penalty corners in hockey or
- corners, free-kicks or headers etc. in football
(ok it does require skill but it) is like entering the room thru a back door
