Lol I don't see how me posting a video (some of which I was kidding, but some of it is still true imo) of a coach of a different sport means I don't understand the game. I am no expert but I still know most of what I am talking about

In 25 years do you think people will look back at Chelsea's trophy of last season and discredit it because they didn't play an attacking style? Sorry, but I don't.

I understand you, but you don´t understand what you´re talking about.

Logically, you do. It´s all about the W.

Football has nothing to do with sports in the US in terms of W´s and L´s.

It´s about sportmanship, to some degree, a philosophy, and the execution of said philosophy.

´Tis a different animal. Altogether.

Not getting uppity. Simply, you either get it, or you don´t.

I could go on about how some sides have won a CL and yet, aren´t recognized for such, only in the record books, but I´ve got a feeling, you won´t comprehend.

After a drawn out diatribe possibly, but that´s for another post.

It will be considered obscure or a one off (at best, if referenced to for some reason).

Now, should said side make a living of horrid football, and win six or seven in a ten or fifteen year span, they will ALWAYS be mentioned, and the font of heated debate.

Again, your ´attacking style ´comment is über nebulous, I suppose you mean Barcelona.

I´m not referring to the actual FCB style of play, simply, bunkering with all effectives in the box and countering when and if possible, is not admired in the footballing world.

EPLers laugh at Stoke, and would be amazed with Stoke winning something of merit. Were they to do it five, six, seven times, then they´d be a case for an extensive major business school study, would they not?
