i have to agree that italian football does look quite defensive when u watch it.....

they pretty much do play for a 1-0 most games that i seem to watch

this 1-0 win for juve for a great example of that

i personally dont mind watching good defensive football...its amazing to watch say juve keep an attack like real madrid from scoring and then getting them on the counter

peace

I have to disagree. That Milan-Juve game was like the final of the Serie A tournament. 4 games left, both the teams with the same points. 3 games left after this one. A concrete real chance to go +3 with 3 games remaining. Half of the Serie A title. It was too important for Juve to try to score the 2nd goal risking to give them the 1-1 goal, you know what i mean? 1-0 = Scudetto. 1=1 no-Scudetto. It was like a Champions League final. Or, to make a comprarsion with a British game, it was like a Liverpool-Chelsea game. 180', 0 goals. Why? Not because both the team didnt want to score, but because both the team knew it was a damn do or die situation.

Add to it the fact that Milan and Juventus have those defences:

Milan: Dida, Cafù, Stam, Nesta, Maldini.
Juventus: Buffon, Zebina, Thuram, Cannavaro, Zambrotta.

The two best defences in the world, imo. It's not only that the know how to defend, it's that they have the best defenders in the world. We dont play like Greece, with unknown players but all-defence. We have Stam, Maldini, Cannavaro, Thuram, Nesta.... Buffon, Dida, Cafù, Zambrotta!! The best in the world!!!

You cant say we play defence because Milan-Juve finished 0-1.

Chelsea-Liverpool finished 0-0.
Liverpool-Chelsea finished 1-0 (mmm.. 0-0).

I agree. Ronaldo was been destroyed by Cannavaro, and Raul by Thuram. 1 on 1 situations. That's good soccer too.

chelsea are an example of a team being criticised for being too defensive but they won the premiership

footballs a business, winning is paramount

thats why players like ronaldinho r great to watch, they can entertain a crowd while getting the result needed.
