Define or Describe 'Beautiful Game'.... [View all]

Last edited Sun Dec 11, 2011, 10:52 PM - Edit history (1)

..., not in the sense that Football is 'the Beautiful Game', but what is meant by, "to play football/soccer beautifully.'
1. How does it look, sound, feel, etc..
2. Can only teams as good as Brazil and Barcelona play it? Can youth play it?
3. What are key skills and tactics, said in a way that, say 10-16 year olds can emulate?
4. Can capitalist zealots occupied with facebook and video/computer games ever play it?
5. How can I inspire often distracted undisciplined american kids to love and practice it?
6. Can only latino teams have enough 'dance' to play it?
