Spain just showed us one of the most one sided finals in World Cup History. Argentina had no way of countering their buildup, no way of stopping their press, and no way of creating chances, resulting in their only answer being aggressive tackles and disrupting play in any way possible. In this video, we break down the tactics used by De La Fuente, and how Spain completely dominated the World Cup Final Against Argentina.

  1. هناك جدل كبير حول اخفتاء لاعبي الأرجنتين وغياب رئيس الدولة ونجومهم عن الحضور والمؤازرة خلافاً للعادة

    أظن السياسة هنا لها دور بجانب التكتيك

    مع الاعتراف بأحقية أسبانيا للمونديال

  2. You are being biased and bandwagoning. Spain started with the violence hitting Messi harshly several times including a nasty flagrant elbow in his back.
    Then expect flowers?? Watch neatherlands playing advanced knockout phases. Around 10 yellow cards average especially against Argentina.
    Spain has a rich history sending off the best player of the opponent team injured in knockout phase. Argentina never sent off a player injured.

  3. The only time amateurs like me watch football is during the world cup. Being amateurs, we are not interested in high grade football tactics, we are interested in two apparent things – dribbling and goals. Spanish football has neither and allows neither. So this years world cup was a damp squib and a waste of time with no excitement. Poker games are more fun.

  4. El director técnico de Austria dijo en su rueda de prensa tras jugar contra España.
    Son una máquina, funcionan como un reloj.
    Hemos jugado contra los campeones de europa y me atrevo decir que también hemos jugado contra los campeones del mundo.

  5. If I were Scaloni, I would have asked Leo to act as a decoy and quickly move to the left as soon as Spain started implementing the pressing trap tactic, so that most of the Spanish players would be concentrated on the left, creating enough space on the right for the fast Argentina players.

  6. Your imagine of the foul for the disallowed goal is extremely misleading. Other images from slightly earlier from a different angle clearly shows the Spaniard stamping on the Argentine's foot.

  7. Spain's goal against Argentina was scored using a deep cross into the blind spot of the defense. Brazil's first goal against Japan was also scored using the same tactic. Any offensive tactic is usually effective when it comes with a surprise for the defending team, and surprise for teams occurs when a team does not always and consistently use only one tactic in attack, but has the ability to quickly and flawlessly execute a variety of tactics to become unpredictable.

  8. There is a football god after all — Argentina got as far as the final match, but it met the best team in the whole tournament, Spain, and was utterly outplayed. They tried a variety of "tricks" to get the referee to give them advantage, but overplayed it and ended up with just ten players at the end. CONGRATULATIONS to "El Rojo"!!! Or, as they say it at home — Enhorabuena!!!

  9. Spain basically introduced a new line of generations of the 2010 batch. It’s not they recreated the history, they revolutionised and evolved it. This version of the team is calm, composed yet ruthless.

    It’s no wonder why Belgium, France and Argentina struggle against them. Their constant control and pressing of the midfield which resulted in their opponents giving away free spaces, is what Spain needed to initiate their attack.

  10. To understand Spain's game, learn how bullfighting unfolds. At all times, watch for the serenity of the matador.

    Spain is the matador; the bull is the other team. The cape is the ball.

    Spain takes holds of the ball and waves it to the bull. The intent is to tire the beast.

    Then the final stockade comes. At that time, the bull, i.e. the other team, has given up.

  11. Everything went wrong for Argentina since the beginning of the tournament. Same old players, players with injuries or in poor form, relying on Messi, poor fullbacks, no wingers, Alvarez is overrated and Messi was Argentina’s weakness. His inability to help the team press or cover ground just invited Spain to put their foot on them 🤦‍♂️

  12. Did you notice that 5 (key) players got injured while playing against Spain in all matches of the KO stage? One against Portugal, Belgium(gk) and France, TWO against Argentina. Too coincidental in my opinion.

  13. Also thanks to Messi, he just walked 99% of the match.
    He didn't even press or run in the last 10 minutes when they needed a goal to not lose and it was all or nothing.

  14. During this world cup tournament Spain team offered a whole bunch of awesome, long ball possession attacks. One of them is the second goal against France but there are plenty: second half against Austria is a masterclass of passing skills, providing football gourmets with 3 or 4 attacks exceeding 1 minute time. Hugely talented players from a football culture, that make the Spaniards a model to follow.

  15. Completely agree with all you said here and I've been follwing for years but saying that Argentina started to "show their true colours" smacks of hate and disrespect.
    This channel is dedicated to unbiased tactical analysis. I was truly surprised to hear a comment unrelated to tactics and completely out of place in a tactical analysis.
    Keep up the good work bro.
