While they do play like Brazil, I've noticed occasionlly they'll lose composure for about 10 or 15 minutes in a game and start hoofing it, but then after a while, they'll regain composure and return to playing like Brazil, that's the reason they're below the men's team. But it's not a huge gap!
The easiest way to express my views on this subject is tto say that of of now I believe the ranking of teams in terms of quality of football is as follows. Man Utd Man City Arsenal Chelsea Tottenham Everton Liverpool West Brom Swansea Fulham Southampton West Ham Newcastle Norwich Sunderland Stoke Aston Villa Wigan QPR Reading Effectiveness is the only one of your criteria that I agree with for assessing quality of football.
Yeh, funny that. Anyone would think that I thought that the league table was the only true guide as quality of football ...
