What actually makes a football team “good”? 👀

We often judge teams by results, league position, or the number of goals they score.

But if you had to evaluate how good a team REALLY is beyond the scoreboard, what would you look at?

For example:

• xG / chance quality

• Shot creation

• Possession & territory

• Defensive structure

• Pressing intensity

• Build-up quality

• Transition play

• Squad depth

• Consistency over time

Which factor do you think is the most reliable indicator of a team's actual strength?

And more importantly — why?

I'm interested in hearing different perspectives, especially if you can back your opinion with statistics, examples, or tactical reasoning.
