El G won the 1500 and 5000m in 2004. If you want to bring up old history let's discuss how Mo did in 2008, the loser couldn't even make the final. That sure shows he knows tactics!

El G was the wr holder by a few tenths of a second. The guy who beat him was the 2nd fastest 1500/miler ever.
In a fresh 5000 with a kick:
Bekele, El G, Farah
All out 5000 with no kick:
Bekele, El G, Farah

El G was beat by the 2nd fastest MILER. I'd still call that losing to a guy slower than you. The #2 1500 guy is Lagat. Look it up.

just to be anal but lagat wasnt #2 1500m at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. he ran his PB at brussels in 2001 a year after the 2000 Olympics. But yes Ngeny was the 2nd fastest miler of all time. Morceli was still the 2nd fastest 1500m runner in 2000.
Who?
This subject has already been addressed in a much more intelligent manner.

To put it simply for you, Farah clearly knows tactics and you can't see the obvious evidence. The European championships are a valid international competition, the point being discussed was not 'tactics in the Olympics'.

Winning the European Championships is not remotely comparable to either a World Championships or Olympic victory. Just to point out the obvious, the greatest source of competition, the Africans, aren't there to do their thing.
The fact that Mo won it in 2010 is already enough to attest to its weakness. This was Mo before he actually had his breakthrough, which more or less occurred during the 2011 indoor/outdoor season.

OK so I never said it is as difficult as winning world's or the Olympic's but back anyway back to the actually point...
Farah is tactically very good. In championships he rules.
You seem to have forgotten that Farah has won gold at the Olympics twice, and world champs 5 times, so er who cares if you don't think the Euro's count.
