This thread appears to be packed with people who think we should've played attacking all game long. I think our strategy was spot on! I was surprised that we managed to stay organized all game long and gave very little space to the Germans. That was pleasing to see.

If we went up all the way we'd be carved open countless times by their deadly counter attacks. Ask England and Argentina. If we managed to be completely raped by the Turks on the counter just last week, we'd be even more screwed by world class team on the counter. Our full backs are too offensive opening up highways behind them, and Veloso is way too slow to aid the defenders. This way we can use the one area where we have speed, which is Nani and Ronaldo specially. It nearly worked, the game was so tight really could've gone either way. The final 10 minutes when we went all out attack, we did have a couple chances but Germany had a huge one too thanks to the massive space we opened up.Imagine that all game long..

Oliveira is much more suited to a counter game than Postiga though.
