Netherlands proved against Argentina that possession football isnt always the route to go. When they changed tactics to the old fashioned English Long Ball game and started hoofing it up the field to the big men they ended up levelling the score and taking the game to extra time. Then they reverted to type and went back to what wasnt working in normal time, and ended up losing in the penalty shootout. Having found the way to score they made the mistake of giving up on the tactic and paid the price.
