If any must be hated, it is the '78! The totally, blatantly >> undeserving champions, that robbed Holland of the title! Ugh! I'd disagreee there. Certainly, as in 1974 Holland were the best team in the competition, but Argentina '78 is my favourite tournament (despite Peru and Iran) and Argentina were an exciting attacking team. Mind you the 6 they scored against Peru were a bit dodgy :)

Cynical football, No - mostly good and mostly successful football. Lucky 1-0 wins, unlucky 0-1 losses, occasional 4-1 brilliancies, lots of boring 2-0 wins. Quite comparable to any other successful team in the world, quite comparable to HSV as well (apart from the successful part, of course). > ref decisions in their > favour (but that I guess is normal for a top team), Yes. Also some ref decisions against us in important games over the last few years. You win some, you lose some. > buying players from > direct competitors, etc. Also sponsoring competitors with cheap good players (Trochowski, Ze Roberto, Jansen), spreading some young talent over the league... (Trochowski, Hummels, Kroos). > I think the reason why the 70s are listed is that at the time Germany > had 2 new great teams - the inventive Gladbach and the cynical/clinical > Bayern. And the cynical team was more successfull. I'm tired, very tired of this legend. Look at the years 69-77: Championship won by Gladbach 5 times, won by Bayern 4 times. Let's compare the teams: Gladbach Bayern goals scored 676 715 goals conceded 374 402 goals/points 1.66 1.75 average goals scored for a championship 71.6 87.5 average goals conceded in championshiip season 35 37.75 As can be easily seen, Bayern was the more attacking team, Gladbach was the "cynical" team. If there is such a thing like "cynical" football. As for Gladbach being the team winning its games 4-1, while Bayern would do with a 1-0, the beginning of the LotR-Movie summarizes it well: History became legend, legend became myth. There are indeed reasons for Bayern being disliked since that era: - Beckenbauer's arrogance: he was the leading player of the team, and he was - as a player - always viewed sceptically by the public: it looked all too easy, when he played, combined with a habit of superiority. The public doesn't like this. - the success in itself of course will always breed some envy - maybe the European cup wins in 75/76, when a Bayern team past its prime (see the league standings) somehow won the finals via their huge experience and really "cynical", i.e. efficient football (play defensively, score one of your two chances during those 90 minutes) - maybe also the fact, that during WC 74 the German players, led by the Bayern guys, made some fuss about the money they wanted for winning the whole thing - maybe also the 1860 Munich <=> Bayern Munich rivalry, with 1860 being the "worker's club" or "people's club". Gladbach never had that problem, as they had no local rivals (the city is too small for more than one really big club). Nobody noticed that Bayern was always, from the very beginning, No.1 in Munich. Only the Nazis changed that for the period from 33 to 66. So there is more than one reason for the fact that this Bayern team was not universally loved by the German public. BUT - the claim that this is because of the "cynical" playing style of the team is a post-rationalization of the phenomenon with absolutely no base in facts or history. > > > Greece 2004 > > > > Hated is a bit too strong a word but disliked definitely. > > I don't see why. Success with cynical football. Didn't you write a few lines before that that's a reason for dislike? > > > Man U post - 93 > > > > No idea. > > Too successfull. ;) Yes.

Basically bought their way to glory, > besides played closed rough cheat italian football IIRC. I forgot to mention: one of my all-time favorites, Spain 08. I can't remember when's the last time I felt so good about somebody winning a tournament. You've got everything, clean win, nice attacking football but also (for a change ;-) ) very serious and professional attitude. Except it wasn't an underdog win but you can't have really everything. :-)

Except that the Milan of the late 80's and early 90's played brilliant, ground breaking, epoch making football and Chelski are just one of many similar bores going around. |
