I think this is only one dimension. Player height, weight, left-footedness or right-footedness might also be crucial in figuring out how to beat Spain. At the very least, you know that Xavi is a key player in the entire network - of course, from mere observation, many have that assumption already but from the graph, you'd know who are the top 3 passers to stop. I'd also take into account the positioning of the players on the fields, the runs that they make and etc. It'd be interesting if someone can build a simple simulation of how Spain's positional play (measuring distances between the players) based on tracking the last few years of the Del Bosque's management.
