I don't know...I assume you saw how long it took Barcelona to open up a 10-man Arsenal the other day. I can see a team like Greece boring their way to some shock results against the big boys, who run the risk of panicking at 70 mins and 0-0.
I take your point about the tactic working well against the more "European" style teams, but a well-organised defence (not necessarily composed of world-class players) can make life extremely difficult for even the most creative of teams. The fact that Italy - the inventors of catenaccio, the antidote to entertaining football - have won the World Cup illustrates that.
This make interesting reading.

As a Liverpool Fan - Give Captain Fantastic (Stevie G to you) a free to roam will certainly give us good chance of winning it IMHO.
I am really looking foward to it !!! Bring it on !!!

I'd love to see England play with more discipline at the back, and play a "traditional English game" against these fancy dan johnny foreigner types. France '98 aside, this is the first time that the World Cup has been held somewhere that isn't hot, humid or at high altitude for some time (even Italy was probably too warm - I'm thinking northern European), so for the first time in a long time the English style of harrying the midfield and not allowing the opponents time and space on the ball could yield results other than pink-faced ginger Mancunian midfielders sweating profusely and heaving for breath.

That was one of the warming sights for me at the cup final,SG banging home the equaliser from such a distance.
There is another player capable of hitting such shots,Steven Ried at Blackburn who i would prefer to see in the squad rather than Hargreaves who i think is a dead loss.
