The Gemanic style is like Leeds's of the '70's A good association. Leeds of the 70s? I don't know who is more complemented by this, BM or LU

I wouldn't mind the endless passing game if it was tempered and balanced with other styles but from start to finish Spain just bang on and on with the same game. I rarely get further than the 10 minute mark watching them. All very cleaver sucking in the oppo etc, but dull to watch. It has made them World Champions so I'll give them that. Bayern for example are the contrast. They mix up so many different styles and paces, they are great to watch. They can play the Spanish passing style for a bit, then the long ball for a bit etc etc. It's always changing with them. Let's not start on 1975 again please, that's all been said.

So how should football be played. Yeah Barca and Spain don't have a 'plan B' but their 'plan A' is football played well and is great to watch imho. Beats the long ball play-it-up-to-the-big-man crap we have been dishing out for so long.

I have nothing against the country or club, but they do play the same endless boring boring passing game. I think opponents simply get bored or mesmerised playing them and fall into a trance. Maybe that's part of their plan? Brazil are much more of an exciting team to watch with so many different styles and pace changes to their game - not unlike Bayern. However, Pat Nevin did a very eye opening piece on the Spanish passing style which is well worth a look for those that haven't seen it. Very admirable perhaps, even so, still boring. I noticed even at 3-0 down the Spanish had no plan B, Plan A obviously wasn't working against Brazil. This was not a good example of Pat Nevin's observations as they were under heavy pressure last night which they aren't so used to. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23024166 Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email leedslist-unsubscr...@gn.apc.org MARCHING ON TOGETHER
