Spanish Football thread

[sachin]

Well personally i disagree.La Liga i find to be rather boring,and very individually focused.And as i said,i think even the Seria A is better than La Liga.I have a complete lack of respect for the way football is played in Spain,and alot of their clubs(I.E. Real Madrid).

 

[m_vaughan]

Like you said, its just your personal problem.

And the La Liga doesn't have the passion and strength of the Premiership.

Serie A is a farce, for goodness sake even the Championship got bigger crowds.

The strength of La Liga is greater. The Premiership at times is over-hyped I feel.

Though i agree La liga is better for diving cheaters,and individuals...

Christiano Ronaldo plays for Manchester United - not any team in Spain .

And La Liga is such a better league than the EPL. As Madrid proved, money can't buy wins in Spain. Chelsea basically owns the EPL and they can't even win the Champions League. Peter Crouch wouldn't play in the Segunda in Spain, let alone one of the best clubs in the country. And teams in La Liga show a bit of allegiance to their country - there aren't any Arsenals in Spain. How many English players play for them again?

I wouldn't call it a problem,that just sounds like your own personal Bias.And Real Madrid aren't over hyped?

Talking about how many English players are in the squad doesn't really bother me(it would be nice to have more,but they just don't suit our style of play.

Again we disagree about how good the Spanish league.And it is probably true that Crouch wouldn't do any good in Spain...It's a league for divers and cheats,whereas the EPL is harder,and you need good on the ball skills to make it.Cristiano Ronaldo needs to go,he's such a scummy cheater!

Probably the first person I've met who could actually argue that Crouch has better on the ball skills than Christiano Ronaldo :rofl
Although I give it to Crouch for his introduction of an altogether new style of play - that of the "holding" striker.

 

[m_vaughan]

The Spanish league is more competitive top to bottom, like edgar said. This, imo, is why it turns to be so exciting all throughout the season.

I wouldn't say it was stronger, but more entertaining as a lot of the middle clubs can get dragged into relegation and there title race isn't as much of a joke one horse race. :onpc

Putting words in someone else's mouth just to make yourself look good is not an honourbale thing to do at all. : Crouch hasn't got great skills on the ball(better than i expect you give him credit for),but i was just saying the Prem is more suited to him,because you don't need to be Ronaldo to make IT.You need different attributes in the Prem...Thats what i was saying.And my comment on ronaldo was just a voicing of my deep disaproval of his diving and cheating ways...

Hmmm,well the Prem is more of a one horse race.True...but Barca is the only real super team in La Liga,Real Madrid are a joke.

 

[m_vaughan]

Barca were a joke not so long ago. They arent now, because of one Brazilian.

And a Dutchman named Frank Rijkaard. He is certainly a very underestimated part of this squad. In fact, I think that he is just as important to Barca as Ronaldinho. A good manager makes his team better (obviously) - just like I think that Chelsea would be nowhere without JM and Madrid have struggled the past few years since Del Bosque left.

 

[m_vaughan]

Chelsea would still do well without JM, but would not win any trophies. Agree about the Rijkaard part, though on the pitch, its all down to Ronaldinho. Eto'o is good, but Barca can do without him, but not the Brazilian. I do remember them struggling last season during the period when Ron was injured.

Please... : You loose all credibility with that one!!! Deco,Etoo,Messi,Puyol,giuly...All top class players.

Don't be an id1ot!Etoo has been one of the top scorers in Europe the last two seasons!

 

[m_vaughan]

Why did Barca struggle when Ron was injured? What happened to all these top class players then?

 

[sachin]

Answer me why Madrid are rubbish ecen with all those star players?Obviosuly Barca is going to struggle a little without it's best player.Though you cannot deny the other players are absolute class.

 

[m_vaughan]

I dont have to answer that because Madrid arent rubbish. They have just been underachieving.
