The Single Most Important Attribute In Modern Football by jalether(m): 6:02pm On Jun 14, 2009
The question is what is the most important attribute a footballer must possess, ( i  know the attributes listed
below are all important but which one do you think is the most significant)

Pace
exquisite ball control
passing accuracy
short accuracy and power
physical dominance


and the list goes on, share your opinion

I think its exquisite ball control cos people like zidane,ronaldinho,xavi and requelme all have good ball control dat is u can make d ball do wat u want it to do

I think it depends on the position of the player and the team's style of play. And i'm not sure if there is one most important attribute . . it depends on how well u do what u are good at doing, and how it fits into the team's system of play.

That said, i'll go with the lowest common denominator, athleticism . . u can't be a professional footballer without that . .

Passing accuracy is the most important attribute in football. . . . .

A simple pass is not quite simple but when you watch players like Xavi, Cesc and Iniesta, you would appreciate it.
To give a pass and run into space to receive the pass is the most important thing in football.
Unfortunately, many English players lack this simple logic.

Without a decent/exquisite ball control, you cant really do anything else effectively!
You need to be able to control the ball if you are going to rip some pace
You need to be able to control the ball if you are going to string some passes together
You need to be able to control the ball if you are going set the ball up for a short
Physical dominance is nothing if you cant control the ball!

Quite agree wit u on dat,4 witout it a player is jst lyk a train witout control.
Re: The Single Most Important Attribute In Modern Football by jalether(m): 10:30pm On Jun 14, 2009
@ mrcrackles, i cosign that, but at the same time there are certain situations where

a player doesn't have to control the ball
Re: The Single Most Important Attribute In Modern Football by jalether(m): 10:32pm On Jun 14, 2009
@ krayola, by athleticism do you mean pace.
Re: The Single Most Important Attribute In Modern Football by bollingjoe(m): 8:53am On Jun 15, 2009
@ mr crackles i second ur opinion. Lemme summarise it by sayin power is nothin witout control. Ball control is it
Re: The Single Most Important Attribute In Modern Football by allboyz(m): 12:21pm On Jun 15, 2009
Ball control - is the most important.

i think Sauron has never kicked a ball in his life before tongue grin grin

I would say :
Decision taking and off-ball movement.
Here is my full explanation and justification
