but for truly championship teams one needs that midFEEL that has STEEL to dismantle another team/opposition that, oh DEAR, has FOUR to SCORE, and solid back FOUR also.
Then you check the FORM, historical possession statistics (final third ofcourse), Goal attemps, goals concededand LUCK = influence on refs
Luck equals, in most parts, the influence one has on the Referee, as many games are decided by the opinion of ONE MAN and to a slighty lesser extent the other 2 GUYs (linesman).
For example, is it a penalty? or is it offside? good teams tend to gain this luck. To me offside is the hardest thing for an official as the rule isnt followed as FIFA mandates, if you are not sure let the play continue as an attacker being inline or equal to a defender is ONSIDE and not the reverse OFFSIDE. But the FEAR of the official is the JUMBO tron (TV replays) and hence doesnt want to be ridiculed for an opponent scoring unfairly.
What do ya'll think about the Guru's theory on Championship teams? I repeat this numerous times over the years but I have now condensced it.
Again here it is, and not in Chronological order of importance, just my qualitative instincts of placing them in said order.
(1) FOUR to SCORE say it loud
(2) STEEL in midFEEL
(3) SOLID back FOUR
If you cant decipher how to tell the above then
(4) Form (recent WIN streak) , Shots on goals, Historical Possession Statistics (in middle to final third). The teams with the most possession and SHOTS on Goals wins 98% of the time. Goals conceded, the lower the number the better. Check FIFA World cup stats if in doubt.
(5) LUCK = fill it out, mentioned above
