That was Englands style of play maybe 15-20 years ago, but you only need to see their last game to see that they play a well organised and controlled game nowadays.
Watching the Holland game I was amazed to see how much they went to Overmars as their attacking option. Sure he was pretty good but he looked good in comparison to their other strikers. Surely Holland have a deeper attack than him.
And Germany really do have nothing up front, except, as mentioned by Spartak, their young #7. He was their only breath of fresh air.
