Not really, that has been proven many times. Counter-football isn't unique and I wasn't even talking about that as that's by no means something Uruguay invented nor has a monopoly on nor was it the only team that tried that this WC.
I was talking about their overall demeanor, attitude and way of playing, which is not something you can just replicate nor even something you want to replicate. It's even completely contradictory what you say as you can't have two teams aiming for the counter. The inherent flaw of that has already been exposed this tournament in regards to Uruguay. Despite the fact that Saudi Arabia and Egypt were horrible, Uruguay barely managed to scrape two 1-0 victories and many other teams screwed themselves over by thinking scoring once is enough and then get hammered.
To win a tournament this way you need a ridiculous amount of luck, even more so than normal. Argentina isn't a good example for anything as their teams was falling apart on all sides by multitude of factors.
And there is nothing Belgium has to learn from Uruguay. The only thing Belgium can be envious about, are some of their defenders, but that has more to do with individual skill and the fact that several of them even play together outside the national team for Atletico, which is a team know for its defensive play, and not for the way Uruguay plays as whole.
It's really weird how you're perceiving this as you're essentially saying teams have to become worse than they are.
Of course it doesn't always work, but so far most team that win big tourney like WC and Euro since 2008 has been using that strategy at some point during their campaign, even the Germans in 2014,
Thing is with Uruguay they have all the tools to pull that off, they have good defense and their attack is more than capable to get a goal or 2, their demeanor or attitude wont matter as it is irrelevant as long as they get the result fair and square,
and no... both team cant go for counter ofc... that's is strictly limited to when you are a goal up, once the opponent equalize then they will have to get up front and get a goal as soon as possible,
What am trying to say is a team that can win WC/Euro, is that one team that know how to approach the game depending on the situation, am not necessarily pointing out at Uruguay alone in my earlier post,its just that having a good defense win you titles,
Argentina is a good example, as we can see how they didn't change they way they approach the game after going ahead, they keep on pushing forward despite knowing the fact that France is capable to organize a lighting fast counter and hit them where it hurts,
And yes Belgium can learn from Uruguay.. after all Belgium dont know when to stop, in 2014 and 2016, especially in 2016 Belgium show us they know how to score but suck at keeping their lead, Bulgaria could have knock them out if it wasn't for Courtois and Wales show them the way,
Its not necessarily become worse its about knowing when to stop, only that in Tournament like this, especially on KO stage.... Attacking needlessly can cost you the game.
