The problem is usually because we have less players than the other team.

Spain is too good to sit back against no matter who you are.
True. Italy sat back in Euro and took them to pens. I think that is the best way to beat Spanish teams .. like how Chelsea played against Barca. Hit them on the break and defend deep with numbers. Cuz you can't go toe to toe with their passing game.

Big props to the US, and I would say it regardless if they were leading or 1 down. They know EXACTLY how to play against Spain, high and aggressive pressuring game, calculated and well set up quick counters in bursts, giving them little space, and then using their possession quite smart, not wasting time or exposing themselves. Tactically astute, bit weird the coach who is heaivly criticised is making them play like this.
