Nice... Some fantastic movements, others not so great, but overall a great clip.

Mmmmm. What a question. Why is it the beautiful game? For once, I have no idea, other than the fact that it is absolutely beautiful.

Playing, watching, crying, loving.

The beautiful game.

I hate people.

Mmmmm. What a question.

It is a diffiicult one. wot makes football beautiful?...I think you have to start with the player; if he/she is atheletical, has cadence, technique, composure, intelligence,creativity and style then they will be pleasing to watch, whatever their position. If you have a team with the above attributes who are encouraged to play an expansive game then it'll be pleasing to watch - the fact that the object ball is manipulated with the feet, which requires good balance, also adds to the elegance of the game and may be the fundimental reason why it can be EYE-CANDY. :)

No more rep for Revelian you make me cry!!!

It is beautiful because it is greatness and we love it. There is no explaining, it is just the things that can occur with a simple spherical ball..

thanks
