Wow, wow, wow. We're polar opposites.

Seeing the game played with high technique and interplay is what the game is about. Barcelonas and Arsenals of the world are soccer. It's your preference for tactics and lack of appreciation for technique that's a prime example of why Americans are SO far behind the rest of the world. They're blind to the beauty of the game. Thanks for showing everyone a cross section of thinking held by ALOT of American soccer fans.

Dunga has moved away from "beautiful soccer" and is adapting a more Mourinho approach. He'll probably win the World Cup with it too. Just like Mourinho wins wherever he goes (hasn't lost a home league game since he has been with Porto, won 4 or 5 straight leagues, about to win a CL with a 2nd team).

America being behind has nothing to do with not appreciating the beauty lol. More to do with the fact that our best athletes play football, basketball, and baseball over soccer. Other countries soccer is #1 and the rest far behind. Not to mention, other countries have outstanding youth programs, we don't. It has nothing to do with the approach to the game.

And Arsenal has had a ton of success trying to play attractive football, right?
