i've seen more boring teams than barca, but barca is more boring than attractive IMO
barca are just predictable thats all. i think thats why most ppl find them boring. the whole world knows how they play. doesnt make it easier to play against them though
they make slow unambitious passes at their end of the pitch, wait patiently for the opposition to press. then they increase the tempo and attack. they complain when other teams don't press, but naturally, standing off is a football tactic in itself
so what's the problem?
just look at the second half yesterday. there was one instance where busquets was dribbling backwards towards his own goal, making 3 successive exchanges with pique while doing so. where's the branded attractive creative football in this? where's the tactics? there was no danger whatsoever to the barcelona backline
i assume everyone knows how the false 9 tactic works? barcelona is essentially that but every player is doing it

seeing the discipline it takes for every player to know the plan instead of just hoofing it makes me admire the more tbh. They stick to their guns.

the busquets 1-2's with pique was brilliant imo, think they were just taunting madrid to come press them.

Barca not boring to watch, but that game last night wasn't the best.. thankfully Messi sprinkled some magic on it.

Barcelona and Spain are boring to watch when their opponents just park the bus on them and send thugs out to assault their midfielders and forwards. But when teams actually try to play against them, they're the most amazing and entertaining team ever.
As for last night, that was shit. The game was a shitty pile of monkey cunt licking baboon anus fucking abomination of a mother fucking embarrassment. And it was mostly Real Madrid's fault. But Barca is not innocent either. The thing that Barca do to add to the frustration (aside from excessive and obvious play acting) is the way that they send a horde of players at the referee after every incident, like a pack of hyenas attacking wounded prey.

They are not booring but nowhere near as entertaining as people make them out to be. They have started to annoy me now with all this diving and raping the ref shit.

I love watching Barcelona, how they move and pass the ball is brilliant. There's no other team like them, when they've got a ball at their feet they're a different quality from everyone else. Barcelona have a midfield which supports how they play, Xavi and Ineista are two of the best passers in the world, people tend to forget how important and pivotal they are to how Barcelona play, they're the backbone of the team, Xavi completed 599 passes last year in the World Cup the most by a player at a World Cup since 1966, he would get into any single nation & team in the world. He's just fucking quality.

i do love watching Barca, but I hate all this diving and crap. They'd still beat pretty much everyone without cheating so why bother?

A team with some of the best individual and team players on the planet. A team that every week provides football with the best passing, movement and skill off and on the ball in the world. I just can't be bored of this side. They play football to win of course but playing with their style and sticking to it and managing to win trophies and set new records year after year is phenomenal.

Youd prefer watchin a long ball team in disguise. All Tottenham do is lump it up to Crouch for knockdowns.
Barca are the best team to watch (PERIOD)

You obviously don't watch us for 90 minutes every game. We do a lot more than just lump it to Crouch. We pass and move, not as good as Barca, but we play some nice football.

When Barcelona put the pressure on they're a great team to watch because of the penetrating passes and dribbles are just unbelievable.
But the general possession element of the game isn't usually entertaining. At first when Man Utd were putting them under a lot of pressure and getting the ball of them.....that was interesting as their was competition......but soon it was all Barcelona for most of the game and the predictability of it is itself a killer.
If any team could really match them for possession, or at least put them under really effective pressure in possession......then it would be a very entertaining match. Barcelona can be entertaining....it's arguably down to the opponent to match them otherwise you can't expect Barcelona to play worst to make it entertaining.
