The mosaic? The tapestry? The flow? The bone crunching tackles? The incredible upsets? The relentless domination by the best teams? The goalkeeping? The finishing by the deadliest strikers? The dribbling by the dribbling wizards? The poetry of the sport? The warlike nature of the sport? The fans? The future of it? Its past? Is the present of the sport the best it'll ever be?
This question hasn't come out quite right, but how do you perceive the game? Like an organic matrix played out over 90 minutes? Or two walls of stone battling each other for supremacy? Or some weird, wild combination?
I apologize for these questions. It's late. I'm going to bed.

For me, this is one of the more beautiful aspects of the game. I've seen certain teams in certain games attain to this, few and far between but enough to keep me watching.

This is what I love about soccer.
- Players that dribble like if they had hands in their feet.
- The war-like feeling when archrivals play each other such as: Arg-Bra, USA-Mex, Spain-France, Holland-Germany, Eng-Turkey, Spain-Portugal, and many others.
- The extreme passion that millions of soccer fans have for the game.

- The teamwork that makes a team without stars beat a team like Real Madrid and Brazil.
- To watch what I consider "complete players" play, not just a player that is good at free kicks (Beckham), or scoring(Van Nistelrooy), but players that can do it all, defend, make excellent passes, score, head, dribble, such as: Zidane, Ronaldinho, Carlos Tevez, etc.

I love it when players rape underage girls. That seems to happen all the time in Europe.

Ya..also when they're caught in those local city brothels, although they always claim that they've been framed or something...

Looks like some people pay too much attention to what happens off the field.

A full volley goal. IF I have to pick just one thing, that is...
A great pass between two defenders, catching a forward making his run with perfect timing--that would be a close second.
Followed closely by about five hundred other things...

Inside combination play in congested space in the area. Then when a space to shoot opens up a player shoots and scores.
You hardly ever see it done right anymore.
Thats beautiful soccer.
The argentines did it right in the 1980's.
