What a great World Cup overall so far! In the spirit of this World Cup fever i've decided to see if I could take a tactic plug it in to Portugal and see if I could take this squad that Paulo Bento assembled and lead them to glory in Brazil!
NOTE: This doesn't mean that any one tactic is better than the other. The goal here is to see if it was possible if I could lead Portugal with its original squad to a World Cup win using downloadable tactics. All tactics used were far from being fluid.
After spending the last week testing it wasn't until last night where I first plugged in the tactic 4-4-2 back to basic by andrichbrand and this tactic so far is the only tactic that allowed me to win all 3 group games and then took me to the Final beating Brazil in semis 2-0. It was heart break in the Final as I lost to Germany 2-0. They got their revenge after i beat them in the Group Stage. I had an unfit squad for that final which didn't help. C.Ronaldo finished runner-up for the Golden Boot.
The last tactic of the night I plugged in was Callamity. Now those who follwed my Tactics Testling League are very familiar with Callamity as his tactic was consistently good patch after patch after patch. It delievers once again becoming the first tactic to allow Portugal to win the World Cup beating Germany in the Final 2-0. Now was there luck along way , of course!!! You don't win witout luck.

Let me also add that the only tactic that allowed C.Ronaldo to win Golden Boot was RIKI-TIKI-TAKA.
July 8, 2014 UPDATE
Just finished testing Tylerbode Blitz tactic-14.3 (best) and happy to report that it becomes only the 2nd tactic to allow Portugal to win the World Cup beating Germany 2-0 in the Final.
I will mark it with an asterisk tho as it wasn't with the "original" squad as I "chose" to call-up Danny for the injured Vieirinha after the USA game and that proved a difference maker as Danny made a big impact. None the less this is not the first time i've done this in testing these tactics but never really made a difference.

This is how I lined up: Nani started the first 2 games for me I then replaced him with Danny as I felt Danny better fit the role.
