The sport is most certainly in my blood, and you sir, have no idea what you're talking about here. Give me an Enlighs hards-as-nails, tough-tackling, no skill centre back over a skillful winger like Ronaldo or Messi any day of the week. There's a reason that John Terry is the highest player in the world.
You have no idea how this game works. If every team went out there with the intention of playing lovely passing football they'd all end up like West Brom did this season playing that way. You call that entertainment? I'd much rather see a good team trying to break down a well organized defense instead of run-and-gun, high scoring, no tactic football.
Chelsea were by far the better team in both legs. Their first leg performance was a textbook example of how to play against a skillful team. Stifle the opposition's creativity, by fouling if necessary, cut out any probing balls in the hole, and counter attack if and when the team makes a mistake. Had Drogba scored in the first leg, like he should have, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
