A journalists view of a journalists view of a beautiful game...

A great quote from Rob Hugh's IHT column:

Tactically, football is like a short blanket in winter. You can pull it up and keep your head warm, or your feet. You have to decide. ~João Saldanha (1917-1990)

What is meant by this? Either you go for results with style and passion (presumably this is located in the feet, formerly referred to as "total football") or you go for results through defensive play and counter attacks. This is what Hugh's means with "cold feet."

After the 4:0 thrashing Bayern received tonight in St. Petersburg, it seems not every one has the cold feet...
