thats why England will never win anything with that mentality. In england they prefer hoof ball, and that never works. Once we get out of that English mentality English football will improve. Barca play the best football, pass and move. pass around the back, slow build up and bang! Killer through ball and a goal.
Liverpool won everything with this in the 80's. Barca are doing it now with the same play. Total football. I'd rather watch the 'boring' barca than anything else.
Barca have the skill to kill of opponents. win games.
Continental football > english football.
Because Barca play the same way as Liverpool in the 80's..

Their football is great even if they have some bad apple fans but in the end I view them in a positive manner. Also if their players were really racist would UNICEF accept their money and allow them to put their name on the shirt? I think not.

So did Arsenal and better
So did Man Utd
So does Wigan
What's the point? English midfielders don't have the technical ability the spaniards and brazilians do. Capello doesn't try to be Italian, he tries to work on english strengths
You obviously have never watched our 80's team.
Yeah because knowing the game was slower makes me ignorant
Question is though? have you? probably not

Excuse me but Liverpool back in the 80's did not always have a team full with English midfielder's or English players. And well i think Arsenal when Henry and the like's were there played some of the most attractive football i have seen in the British game and i think Manchester.United have played some top class and attractive football aswell over the past 20 years.Fonseca wrote:Mr Leiva wrote:Fonseca wrote:Mr Leiva wrote:James ♠ wrote:I find their football boring personally.

But so did Liverpool play some top class attactive football and well them and Manchester.United won European cups playing like this and if Arsenal were better at it, it still never brought them the European Cup or Champion's League.

Yes I have mainly highlight reals, some full matches on ESPN Classic. Not much but still enough to know that they were far better than any of the Premier league's current squads.

You just need to watch videos to see that the 80's pool team did not play the same as the current day Barca.

I was talking about Jordans comment on english footballers and how they should play the barca way or whatever he said. Not Liverpools, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned international teams. Yes you didn't understand, but thanks for calling me a smart arse when I'm far from it.. what are you? a mong?

All I was saying I prefer the way continental teams play to English teams. I enjoy continental football more than English football.
english football may be better for the nuetral, but Seria A, La Liga ect is better footballing wise.

As far as I can see, Lucas mentioned English football, which you transformed into English footballers. Bit of a difference there.
As in Ronaldo played english football, but isn't an english footballer.

I've admitted that some of Barca's players are divers and surrounding the referee is a disgrace. But people are acting like Barcelona only do it. Haters are going to hate. Everyone has to pick on the best team because they can't defeat them on the field. So they instead accuse them of tapping up players, being racist, and cheating.
I really don't care anymore. I'm just going to enjoy this victory and hopefully the lifting of the CL trophy later in the month.

It's never going to change. Why should a team change there tactics, when it could negativity effect them in the short term. But in the long run it could have very positive out comes.
Spain, Italy, Germany produce very good technical footballers, while England sorta lack them players. Not saying England players are poor, there are some very good technical ability players out there.
