What type do you prefer?
I've never been a big fan of the Spanish / Barcelona possession based football. Ive always preferred watching the Brazilian samba football. When they turn it on, they're more of a joy to watch for me than Spain/Barcelona. Much more easy on the eye.
What about yourself?
Brazilian Samba or Spanish Possession

I was bound to pop up and give my two-pennies-worth on this!
I hate the idea of trying to dominate a game through possession only - it's not art, it's for greedy, selfish minds.
Love the idea of fluid attacking play - lots of movement and flair. That's at the heart of the game.
So NO to Spain or Barca. YES to Samba.

Are you saying that Spain and especially; Barca, are not fluid, and attack-minded, with lots of movement?
Somebody really needs to watch more football, and quit jumping on the Spain/Barca hate bandwagon.
The only difference between Samba and Spain's possession football, is that; Samba is more direct, with lots of flair players, who have a trick or two up their sleeves.
Get your facts right before judging or criticising.

"Spanish Possesion - 3 Titles in 6 years.
Brazil Samba - 0 Titles in 6 years."

King of the Bridge
Me too. We've become pathetic at defending in recent years. 5 goals against Arsenal. 3 against Utd are just two high profile games where we've looked a shambles as a defensive unit. Both of them were at Stamford Bridge which was a fortress for us. Id do anything to get Steve Clarke back.
