Football isn’t the ‘beautiful game’ anymore - it’s just business these days.

Winning has got so important that entertainment will suffer because of it. The guys at the top don’t give a shit if the matches are boring and the fans don’t like it.

There’s no money in playing great football if you’re going to come second. Winning at any cost is what matters now.

I might start watching cricket instead…

I think this sums up this world cup adequatly.

That and lots of defending with noone willing to commit anyone forward since the games meant anything.

England were very average in this world cup, but I still think it has been a beauty. The games have gotten tighter as the tournament has progressed, but that is to be expected. Italy’s goals against Germany were world class, the French have looked brilliant, really the standard of football has been fantastic. You sound like a bitter English supporter trying to make (more) excuses. Even though the Italy-Germany game was 0-0 for 120 minutes I still thought it was a great game. Lets hope the final has a few goals (unlikely though) but really just shut up with the negativity I’m over it.

Vieira4 hit the nail on the head. Look at Arsenals progression in the Champions League and also Chelsea.

Crowding the Midfield kills off games - but reduces the goals scored. But it all comes down to winning.

If England won the World Cup playing as unattractively as they did - would you care ??

I wouldn’t - and it would go down in history as world cup winners not the way we played.

The tactics of world football have changed in the past 2 or 3 years thanks to Greece’s fluke in Euro 2004. All sides are now adopting that style to make it harder to beat them. I think the days of great world cup finals and semi finals is long gone - no more classics like ‘82 or ‘86 ever to come again.

I would agree with that - although 2002 was another Blatter World Cup and S. Korea if you remember should have been knocked out by Spain and Italy but the officials chalked off good goals for both teams.

With all the corruption in Italy and the rest of football - it is time for video evidence to be bought in.

Nothing to major - just a fourth offical with radio contact withth e ref. advising on major decisions with the aid of replays.

It’s not rocket science.

Beckenbauer is favourite to take over next year and will be very positive for the whole of football.
