Joy for the game came first, I believe.
Later it turned out to be as it is today and as you describe it.
Like you say, it should be profitable; but there are hardly any profitable clubs around today.
As a footballconsumer I want to be entertained, though a trophy would be nice ofcourse, no doubt about it. But for me winning a cup would make me feel ashamed when it's done with the most boring play.
Greece may be fine with you, I thought they were horrible.
By the way, wasn't it you, among others, who thought the dutch were unrecognizable the last WC because they weren't playing their wellknown attractive style and were in fact boring?
