Am I the only one who doesn't understand the problem with playing 4-6-0 given the way Spain play?

I'd suggest one shot on target in 90 minutes (straight at the keeper) is an issue.

They played the majority of the match with Negredo, a striker, and have looked better since replacing him with Fabregas.

Yet still haven't scored. A top striker can make something out of nothing every so often, and that seems to be what Spain are missing. They'll eventually grind teams down, but I don't think they'll have as long to do it against Germany.

Neither have Portugal, clearly they need more strikers as well.

Portugal have needed a good out and out striker for years, pretty sure that's always been their issue. Also hardly the point. I'll ensure I don't disagree with you in future.
