Thanks for that back ground and the description of fluidity. I agree a lot, but also am into measuring as at least partial proof of a theory. For example, Brazilians have a much higher number of passes to very open players, waiting for the right moment to penetrate.
So perhaps beautiful football means less 'forcing' and more 'flowing' to borrow your description. Have you read the Brilliant Orange? __several definitions of beautiful soccer, including much about Cruyf.
I posted my own definition in Wikipedia, but someone very bullheaded (and wrong) described it VERY coldly. I'd be tickled if you took a crack at briefly answering my original questions about the BG.
