thought the spanish gameplan was excellent. russians were shredding the dutch and swedish back four by counterattacking and getting back before the defenders could get in position. the spanish held the ball so much the russians had few opportunities, and every time the russians got the ball, 4 spanish defenders were already back and in position. they had a couple opportunities to score, but maybe 1/4 as many as they had against the dutch.
