Two teams who don't want to anything but counter-attack is going to make for some scintillating football. I picture the ball sitting in the center circle with both teams yelling, "You touch it first."
The third place game should be really entertaining anyway.
Ronaldo for Brazil in both 98 and 02
Zidane in 98 and 06
Xavi for Spain in 10
Sneijder for Holland in 10
Modric's been amazing, he's probably the favourite for the Ballon d'Or at this point and deservedly so, but he's hardly alone in that category. It often takes a player putting his team on his back to get far in this tournament.
