Everytime I watch Brazil play soccer, they realy don't have to win or even to score, the art is in the movements and the passes!
Similar to "Football Americano", a good pass, and an ipossible catch even if it is at the opposing team is a wonderful things to watch; that is if you enjoy sport rather than looking for war and winnig at any cost even if your team cheated, you still back them?
It's interesting that people have such different reasons for watching. There are times when the pure demonstration of skill (or "art") is attractive to me in and of itself. (I like watching power pitchers in baseball, for example.) And I saw and enjoyed a World Cup elimination game between Romania and Argentina in 1994 in the Rose Bowl that was interesting simply because of the spectacle of the crowd. But most of the time, for me the drama's the thing.
