MattyHart Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I'm guessing it just means he has experiences lots of different cultures from around the world so shouldn't have too much trouvle settling in anywhere. Hope that helps. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Zidane. Does that fit with the player with that description? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick2k7 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 For me a cultured played...be it striker or midfeilder....is one who has been brought up in the same club for many years i guess...cuz like rooney at United... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phnompenhandy Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 It's a description of his ability and mentality - bermybhoy is right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty_ACE Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Cultured means he's a well refined and polished player in his position. Basically a very good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johno Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 likes classical jazz? think as mentioned above its to do with his mentality and ability to control the ball. possibly also calm personality, so the opposite of temperamental Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsonmcjones Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 I think this is an odd expression in football. I've heard it used to refer to a players foot! eg. Christian Vieri has a cultured left foot... What!? Does it go to the opera? Actually in his case it probably does, still... doesn't stop him twanging penos clean over the bar. LOL. I've always related it to intelligence. The expression "a good footballing brain" is one that springs to mind... I think this sums it up nicely. To quote dis523: "I see cultured players as ones who are very naturalistic, smooth. Andrea Pirlo is the ultimate definition of a cultured midfielder imo. So comfortable on the ball, at times he looks like it's just a training drill. It was like he was born in football boots. They are like the Fine Wines of the football world." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

frediculous_biggs Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Doesn't it mean he likes Opera, going to the Theatre and Classical Music? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doruk Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Actually all it really means is that he is a midfield playmaker with flair less than 15 (so 14 or below). Long shots, technique, passing, creativity, flair, and dribbling all need to be 15 o above for a player to have the description "midfield playmaker." If you just bothered to search the site you would find the thread that discusses this. Though I don;t think it's set in stone my through my own observations I've noticed it is a fairly accurate statement. duh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSCCG Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 dictionary.com will tell us the answer! cultured: 1. enlightened; refined. 2. artificially nurtured or grown: cultured bacteria. 3. cultivated; tilled. I'd say its the first one. You would probably be able to replace cultured with "well practiced", or "experienced to the point of his work being an art form".

Mike7077 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I'm pretty sure the game describes Wayne Rooney as a cultured striker. Therefore, there's no way it's to do with being a well-travelled player with experience as he's both young and he's only played for two teams who are separated by nothing greater than the length of the M62's western stretch!
