I dont see how, they are just an excellent team.
An excellent team deserves to win matches and trophies.
The spanish are playing beautiful and entertaining football and at the same time achieving results without the need to park a bus, train, plane or a spaceship in front of their goal.
If anything teams have to get creative and step up when it comes to spain, which makes the games all the more interesting.

I aint saying they are a bad team. They play excellent football. But they ruin the thing i call exitement. Watching Spain play you know they will win 90% of the time the same thing with barcelona. They will hold 80% of the ball and not let the other team to anything. This is one sided football which is very boring for the neutral fan but the spain fan boys are having the time of their life.

I rather see a strong germany vs Russia in the final who both will have chances of winning then spain that will pass the ball around for 90 min get in a goal and then crowned champions while the other team gets 0 chances because of spains passing game

I guess you might be right. But I'm a neutral fan not rooting for spain and I really enjoy watching them.

Spain playing beautiful football is a myth, when Germany played it cause they had inferior talent in 2000-04 everybody said that's machine like football and shit, now that Spain with all these supposed all-time great players does it, it's called tic tac or w/e the **** the media and the sheep that follow it name it. I'm not saying it does not produce results since it does and they became WC10 champions but please don't insult anybody's intelligence by calling it beautiful football.

Your comment is biased in favor of German football.
Spain plays beautiful and so does Germany.
People who deny the beauty of German football can be said to "insult others intelligence", however calling Spain's football beautiful is rather a confirmation of your own intelligence.
I dont think any argument against the beauty of Spanish and German football is even valid.

EDIT- I dont see whats wrong with calling German football machine like. Although I dont agree with it I see it as a plus. If people use it in a negative sense they are just being Ironic.
The structure and dynamic of the German's is amazing.
