Watching Spain play Brazil on Sunday in the quarter-finals of the Under-20 World Cup in Colombia was like watching two teams play a different game. There were Spain, in the familiar 4-3-3, the ball being moved at pace, holding possession, and there were Brazil, huffing and puffing and somehow getting away with it thanks to exceptional individual performances. The game finished 2-2 after extra-time, and Brazil won on penalties.
