I would actually go into the euro thing a bit more, as its more than just north vs south. England does do a lot of nice buildup and passing, but they also just launch the long ball to their forwards more than any team in the history of the world. Some of this might be from years of playing in the worst field condiditions ever. Germans tend to have a rock solid d, and great combination passing and buildup, and they are probably the most dominate in the air.(set pieces, services into the box) The dutch, who used to be my 2nd favorite team) are usually the most versatile,imo. They like to string together a lot of passes, and then look to slot someone through after they get your defense out of position. They do use crosses in their attack, just not quite as much as the germans or english. Also, their outside backs and mids overlap each other a lot, and are usually somewhat capable of playing either position, and their midfielders can be seen to be floating around in different areas a lot.
In my personal opinion, I think our current us team plays a mixture of the dutch and german style, in that we mostly play the dutch style, but we are more physically proficient on d and in the air.
Now if this is hard to read or has bad grammar, im on a lot of pain meds. Hope you can read it.
