This is a totally different game than what is being played everywhere else.

I love offense, but that looked like an exhibition...not the final match of a regional.
My thoughts exactly. Unfortunately I think these good teams will struggle at Champs when they realize how tough defense is in other areas of the world. I also don't understand how teams can just sit there when they don't have the ball and do nothing.
