Bert van Marwijk·4-2-3-1
87OVR
Van Marwijk's 2010 Netherlands. Sneijder running the knockouts, Robben on the break, and a final in Johannesburg that Iniesta ended.
Tags on the page — counter attack, wide forwards, compact midfield — are shorthand for how the model leans, not a documentary.
Chemistry 90, overall 87. Neither number is a FIFA card from a shop.

How this XI is built
Width 82: both touchlines in play. Attack 90 is the loud number. Possession sits at 50, not a religion. Counter-attack 88: the point is the break, not the concert.
