Are we talking national players, or club players? Club - couldn't care less, as long as he delivers on the pitch. National - I want them belting out the anthem, kicking people around like Psycho!

After the Asian Cup debacle, I'd rather A-League players who have the passion to play for Australia instead of premier league blow-ins who think they are god's gift to the FFA.

'Passion' became a 'necessity' when it became the only stick the media could beat Sven with.
Neatly forgetting, of course, that if managers who displayed passion were so important we'd still have Graham Taylor as England manager and never have had Alf Ramsay...

It is a well-known fact that a bloodstained conical bandage is more important than goals. Only cheating foreigners don't recognise this.

Strikers who rely on their explosiveness and defenders who closely stick to tactical instructions are frequently accused of lacking passion when they're really doing their team a favor by not chasing every ball. I only take those complaints seriously if the manager is making such statements, certainly not the media or fans.

A hard working player of limited ability can be much better than a skillfull lazy show pony, who is inconsistent.
Passion has not become a substitute for skill, but without some form of passion no player can become a top draw player. Pele was hard working and commited.
