Aduh why u start a thread like this doh.gif

It's gonna be a Glory Hunter V2, where a harmless definition discussion thread turns into a god-knows-what argument after 50 pages rclxub.gif For example, 1 will come in and say their team is attractive, then another will come in and say "win ugly is more important" and it goes on and on..

But anyway to contribute my opinion, attractive football simply means making the fans awake the entire game, or won't switch it to other channel because they don't wanna miss a single second of it (another game on another channel for example). Doesn't matter which style...total football, tiki taka, counter attacks, wing overlaps etc. As long as you can keep audience eyes glued to the match, then it's attractive.

I'll be first to say, no single style is the most attractive/least attractive, so try to keep this in mind so as to not create another "opinion war" tongue.gif

The TS is pretty clear that beauty is subjective in his post and title.

I've seen threads like these on other sites that become very interesting discussions on why some people like certain styles and it has helped dispelled stereotypes of each way of playing.

So if everyone present their opinions in a reasoned manner and take care not to do the "you are wrong!" argument, it can actually be enlightening.

But no offence to anyone, but I can see a Lowyat discussion degenerate quickly into mindless personal attacks, so I'm not hopeful.

well, TS intention is good, unless some flying baboon comes here and misdirect the topic itself.

anyway,

attractive football for me is successful one-touch passing and also a bloody super counter attack move, leaving the defenders flat on their butt. gives you an adrenaline rush seeing the outcome these two situations.

No I'm not blaming TS, I'm "pleading" other posters to show some class before anything starts laugh.gif I like discussions more than anything, but like minority says, bashing can start from nothing in this forum doh.gif

Anyways!

Crunching tackles can also form beautiful football, or rather a beautiful match..provided both teams go all out. Classic MU v Arsenal match anyone? Keane v Vieira provides the same adrenaline and pleasure to watch no? (btw it depends on what your definition of "crunching tackles" are. Not all hard tackles are foul-worthy.)

Generally fast tempo plays are nice to watch, provided they don't lose the ball every other time they try to play it fast.
