What Happened to the 4-4-2?

That’s the headline from Sports Illustrated’s Gabriele Marcotti in his “Inside Soccer” column. He explores the tactics of the Euro 2008 Quarterfinalists. My favorite comment comes in a final section

Kudos to Marco van Basten. But if you even begin to suggest that the Netherlands have anything to do with “Total Football,” you either don’t know what you’re talking about or you haven’t seen the Dutch play.

I’m old enough to have seen and enjoyed those games but it was still a great refresher as I prepare the chips and dip for this afternoon’s game. Hat tip to Glendale Soccer scribe Bob Jordan
