And other nations, as well. No country has a number 10 anymore, even flair players such as Bale and Ronaldo owe a lot of their effectiveness to physique. They're good because they can run with pace and power in a straight line and smash the ball when they take a shot.
Spain are a bit of an oddity, in that their team isn't filled with strong players (although they have outstanding stamina), but even for all the talk of them being some kind of footballing demigods, they aren't a team with a number 10.
I still think my point stands, as evidenced by players like Salomon Kalou and Ramires winning European Cup medals. Ramires is the archetype of the modern footballer- strong, very fast, great stamina, mixed with a reasonable amount of technique, but take away his physical attributes and he's barely good enough to be a professional. His career will almost certainly hit a rapid downturn in his early 30s as his physicality deserts him. Another example would be Michael Essien. While more technically blessed than Ramires, his career has also been shot on account of those crippling ACL injuries he suffered which have ended his once all-consuming physicality.
I don't think it's been fair to call football for the past decade (I make the cut-off point to be when the careers of guys like Zidane, Veron and Riquelme ended/petered out) a skill sport, it's morphed into one where players who work hard on the pitch and have huge muscles to boot are king, aside from a few exceptions like Pirlo. The attacking midfielder as a position, the one which demands technical brilliance above all else has been lost, replaced by strong wingers, hardworking box-to-box midfielders and the odd Xavi type player who can keep the ball well.
Since that cut-off point I mentioned, the only player I can think of who was successful despite having no physical presence whatsoever, would be Filippo Inzaghi.
