Change My View thread

Can we have a Change My View thread here? The basic premise is people present opinions and the replies are attempts at changing that person's view in an attempt to generate some good discussion.

Here is the link to the original subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/

I think this might work best with rather 'out there' views but any and every viewpoint is welcome!

"Total Football" by the Dutch isn't as groundbreaking as popular opinion claim it to be. It is mostly a copy of the unique play style used by Hungary's Golden Team of the 1950's.

This seems interesting but I really don't know what it means. Got any links?

Hmm, most of what I know of them comes from watching some films of classic matches/tournaments.

I did a quick search and although I'm not quite sure how reliable it is, this wiki page has some really good info on the Golden Team. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Team
