Play bad and win or play good and lose?

[kostamarino]

In what situation would you prefer your favorite team to be if you had to choose from the two below:
1.Play good but never win championships ,important matches etc.
2.Play bad but win championships ,important matches etc.

Of course these situations above are kinda extreme ,and the actual question is what matters most, the style or the result when it is about your favourite team?

[Tony Dellbird]

Winning matters

[kwik1980]

It depends on the situation, doesn't it? I'd take an ugly championship win over a pretty loss anyday.

[Raider Red]

Depends if you're Italian or not.

[Fiorentina lives!]

Or Greek, Raider Red :D

Too extreme if you ask me, I would definitely go with playing great and winning titles some times, instead of playing bad and winning titles all of the times though.

What good is winning when you don't even enjoy watching your own team.

In football, really, what matters is to win but what's the point of winning all the time if your team plays bad football. You can't enjoy a game like that.
I, and so does everyone, prefer that my team wins all the time and plays nice football, just like Valencia did this season. That really was nice football!

[TRICOLOR BRASIL]

I prefer to play good and win, like we are used to do.

[5_Rmadrid_3]

ye that's true

That wasn't an option, I think.

¿Did you figure that out by yourself?

I think it's incredibly selfish if you would rather play well in a team that loses as opposed to play baddly in a team that wins.

In terms of supporting a team - in the long term it'd probalby be better to play well and lose - because you'd be all the stronger when you play well and win. But when losing involves the threat of relegation or financial disaster - then it's play baddly and win all the way.

Exactly.

I wouldn't support a team that plays badly. Wich actually was the case when Semb was coach for the norwegian national team.

If you're winning consistently, you're not playing bad.

Lats season, Middlesbrough played Man City.

City had about 20 shots on target, we had none, yet won 1-0.
Thanks to an own goal. It was absoultly hilarious. However it happens the other way, where you trounce ateam, can't score and concede a daft goal it hurts.........very bad :(

If East Fife win but play ugly football (which often happens :D), I'm happy. If we play very good football and lose, I may have enjoyed watching some good football but I leave the ground unhappy. There's your answer.
