I have heard this mentioned in football matches so many times, but have never really worked out what it is.

yeah same as two above, they focus on passing it round pretty much the whole opposition before slotting past a goalkeeper, but most teams if they see a space from outside the box they'l have a shot.
Accasionaly Arsenal will do this with Players like Rosicky, Van Persie and Henry but rarely

Its a team that tries to walk the ball into the net rather than going for the half chance at the edge of the box. Yes Arsenal are a good example at the moment.

The first answer is basicly correct, but needs to be added to:
It's the trying to score a beautiful goal that often leads to one pass too many, resulting in the defending team taking control.

you probably might have to do more research on my answer or someone who reads this drivel might help out.
during this years world cup ARGENTINA passed the ball 26 times in the opposition's half, teasing , taunting , until finally, scoring. this if you like was an example of a perfect goal in that no matter what the opposition did they had no impact on stopping argentina.

a team, like arsenal who want to score the perfect goal, don't want a 25 yarder, nor a penalty want to rip the opposing team apart by skilful passing and score the ultimate team goal
