Almost every team during the tournament suspended a style and play pragmatically. Portugal played ultra-offensively against Iceland, Hungary, Austria (no one had so overwhelming advantage over rivals in the group stage), hovever against Croatia they built a wall. I am not sure that Germany or France will be exciting against Spain. They just played against much weaker teams and they did it like Portugal in the group stage.
Personally, I would accuse this poor student of Machiavelli, Didier Deschamps, of murdering of football, not praised his France.
