Commentary on styles of play
Description
The author wonders why England remains Argentina's key rival in the group stage of the World Cup. England's long-held reputation as a premier soccer nation, he argues, rests on its "golden isolation"-era, when England possessed the best players and teams but refused to compete in international tournaments. But he also attributes its reputation to know-how: English managers understand the prevailing winds of world football and invent innovative tactical schemes and training methods. Beyond this argument, the article considers that Argentina, Hungary, and England all represent three different schools of football: South American (inspired, loose), Central European (also aesthetic, but also realist and talented), and British (theoretical, virile, methodical).
