Spain play the least entertaining football of anyone

Spain won the wold cup. Cue the football pundits: 

"It was a result for the football purists"

"Total football wins all"

"They are a joy to watch"

Are they? I don't think so. They were described by Lineker as "wearing teams down with their constant pass/move". I don't find anything entertaining about watching one person pass it 10 yards along the ground and then turn to the next person and pass it 10 yeards along the ground. I've had to put up with this being an Arsenal fan but Spain seem to take it to the extreme. They pass pass pass get to the defence (which is well organised as they pass it so much it gives the defence TIME to organise itself) decide they can't get through and then pass it all the way back to the defence and start again. They remind me of a fly constantly trying to fly through a window, realsing it can't, doing a quick circuit around the room and then trying again.

I'm not debating whether their style of play is effective, it just annoys me when pundits say it is the most enjoyable football to watch. I enjoyed watching the Dutch's attempts at tackling more than Spains 'Titty-tatta' or whatever it is. Argentina, Germany, North Korea, now they were entertaining!

Please correct me if you think I'm wrong...
