Defensive teams are winning this and I'm not liking this.

Well , you know , football isn't all about offense and dribles and stuff. Those are just part of it ( yeah , I know these are the money and people bringers , but what good are they if you loose). The major factor is strategy and tactics. And defensive football IS a strategy. Heck if you don't like it and can't win against it using your ordinary plays , then you can hope you get lucky or that your offensive line has more than the oponent's defensive. Either that or you change your plans. Simple
Ofcourse defensive football is a strategy and Mourinho is the master of defensive football and that is the reason why Inter Milan won the treble this time around. However that doesn't mean you have to like it and moreover the beautfiul game isn't meant to be played that way but heck who cares as long as you win right. Instead of saying they are playing really defensive and negative football I guess you could say that the offensive part of the opposing team wasn't good enough. Anyways the germans let slip too many chances plus refereez was an asshole for giving out way too many cards. Klose didn't deserve to be sent off after two mediocre challenges.
So you say . But guess what. Defensive football can be defeated. And if the oponent plays defensive football then simply change your strategy momentarly till you break them , and they'll have no choice but to abandon teir defense , therefore allowing you to play your so favorite offensive football . If your team can't do that , then I'm sorry to say that it is due to either the coach or the players inability to adjust to the game.
Did you see how Argentina scored the first two goals to Korea? What did the Korean do after that? And it wasn't simply luck or talent that allowed those 2 goals but smart plays
The problem with momentarily changing your strategy to counter the opposing team's defensive strategy is that if you go too offensive then there is a greater risk of counter attacks working out for you. Also Argentina's first goal against Korea was a case of luck with korea scoring an own goal, that is not smart play. The first goal opened up the game. Korea is also not that well known for its defense. I think the barcelona versus inter milan game in the european championship game just showed how powerful a defensive strategy is. Barcelona is arguably the best attacking team in the world and their plays are well constructed yet they were thrwarted by an inter milan team that were made up of 10 men and had all 10 men behind its half. Ofcourse defensive strategy can be thwarted but it involves a great deal of risk as you have to commit players offensive which opens up your team to a counter attack.
