While it’s a horrible tactic, the bad news is that it is effective. It wins matches. It bores fans, but managers don’t seem to care. In England’s case, it was their eventual downfall. Portugal was there for the taking. England’s entire team possessed more skill and creativity to win the match before it even started. But by playing the 4-5-1,

What we’ve seen in the 2006 World Cup is the 4-5-1 formation being used to similar results, unfortunately to the detriment of the game.
Very early in the 2005/2006 Premiership season,

Unfortunately, it’s killing the game. All it does is enable teams to hold on to a nil-nil score and then hope (in the case of Beckham and Henry) that a goal can be scored from a set play such as a free kick.
England had been using it for the entire tournament. While it was effective, it was probably the most boring display by England in recent memory. Even France,

Today I am leaving for a two week vacation to Europe. My long lost college roommate and I are going to be hitting up Spain and Italy and in Italy Vlad will be meeting up with us for a Gondola ride or two! I am super excited for this vacation and this time will actually be vacationing. We are lucky enough to have someone who will write posts for me while I am gone, Nerdphanie! You all remember her as a guest blogger! Now she is signed on as a two week blogger to fill my spot. She will bring you lots of new bags and goodies to look at. I will be posting sporadically, but not my usual four or five posts a day
