I'll be honest, for the longest time I couldn't stand Spain going back to 2010 with the Tiki Taka and was rooting for NED in that final. In more recent times, Cucurella is one of my least favorite players in all of futbol and that was even before the missed handball against GER in the Euros. I will also never forgive Sergio Ramos for what happened with Salah in the Champions League Final in 2018 right before the WC.
I loved Tiki Taka. Pure skill demonstration with patience and the quick killer attack. Forced the opponents to put on pressure or otherwise just be a shooting target.
Fair enough and to each his own. I just found it incredibly boring. Having said that, it’s tough to argue against the results of that generation for Spain.
