However, a couple of well-placed free kicks volleys for an header, while one or two attacking players move in the direction of the ball, displacing defenders with them, and a team with less beautifal football may win.
(that was not the case in Portugal-Germany, though. Germany played much better. Then again, Scolari never bothered to understand portuguese players, much less help to define the style - which Carlos Queiroz started to re-assmble, and José Mourinho may yet consolidate.)
