On another topic, you'd think a tactical breakdown of Germany/Brazil would be pretty simple, but Michael Cox at zonalmarking.net once again puts together a fascinating and thorough analysis of what went right and wrong: Germany 7-1 Brazil: Germany record a historic thrashing, winning the game in 30 minutes | Zonal Marking

Cox also writes for The Guardian (and ESPN on occasion) and between him and Jonathan Wilson (also writing for The Guardian), there's a lot of great fascinating reads on teams and tactics. I also recommend anything Brian Phillps writes (he's usually at Grantland), and of course if you play FM, you must read his (IMO) masterpiece on the subject: Pro Vercelli - The Run of Play
