Even 'Arry thinks La Liga is better, quotes verbatim... :tongue: :lol:


When you watch a La Liga game, you will always see two teams who are technically very good. Our league has the excitement, every game is a tough game. It isn't always pretty...


For me, technically, La Liga is a better league than the Barclays Premier League. The football they play, the passing of the ball; it's of better quality than the Barclays Premier League.

Why is is it a better league technically? Because they don't play like we do.

They don't put crosses into the box too often, they don't have teams taking long throws, they don't have teams just booting the ball up the pitch.

They all play. They play out from the back, pass the ball and their movement is good.

Its not a generalization, it's a fact. Its uglier football. It's the reason why British teams can't compete in Euro competitions all that well any more, whether it be a team from the Prem or the 3 Lions. It's been factually & mathematically proven. :tongue: (Ahem, ahem...)

Prem & British footy is fast for the sake of being fast. There is no tactical or technical aspect to it. It leads to defenders having to overcompensate & make rash challenge, often cleats up.

Players, coaches, & respected pundits all say the same thing. Cesc said similar comments 1-2 years go...


“The English league is more difficult to win, but on an individual level, it is much, much easier to shine in England, I always thought English football was the best to watch because there are more goals, more chances, more excitement. But now, I understand why there are more goals and more chances: it’s much more crazy, out of control, everyone attacking, pouring forward.”

It’s a question of space. A Spanish-style footballer, like [David] Silva or [Mesut] Özil, if they can find two seconds to think, will see the pass because there’ll be space. … In Spain, reducing space is worked on more. In England, it’s fast, but you can find that space if you are a good player.”

A win's a win. I'll take it. Much needed for our mindset. With Giroud back, Theo soon, and Alexis firing on all cylinders, the turnaround is coming.


Pump the breaks :nerd:


Anyone have the Kun injury video? Did it look that bad? Poor dude.

If Ronaldo would've made that bicycle kick, I would **** my pants. :x

I thought the same thing. There is a Portuguese expression that goes "he could have just gone home after that one, take a month off"

But he missed, so go do your job Ronaldo :lol:
 
This dude PSk writes an essay if you insult his liga (you'd think he was getting paid for all the stanning he does for em), and he goes into all this diatribe about all the techinicality in spain, but doesnt bother to explain why nobody outside of the top 3 can play defense, LMAO...

So Harry says it and its true?

Mathematically and factually proven? LOL.

The FIFA coefficient might make your point about "math" but facts?  C'mon its AT BEST subjective. 2/3 of La Liga is technical but 3/4 of it can't play defense, C'mon breh. 

You're whole argument that there isn't any "technical" play in the EPL is completely baseless as Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City, Everton, Man U (in the past decade), Swansea, Southampton, Tottenham  and even Newcastle this season are doing JUST that. 

Then equating the Prem with the 3 Lions, when the top squads in the EPL are more than 2/3 foreign is completely irrelevant.

And EPL teams dont do as well in Europe because they don't have the finances that RM/Barca/Bayern do to stockpile players (outside of Chelsea and Man U, who HAVE competed and done well in europe, and CHelsea will more than likely be there until the end this year). You act like anyone outside of SPain's top 3 is competing hardbody in CL. At best you have 4/5/6 Teams (the sevillas, Valencias) competing in Europa League and doing well... and they CAN as their league isn't as competetive outside the top 3. Any EPL team in Europa (and CL for that matter) typically has a DOGFIGHT in their league... not so much in la liga.

All that to say, your argument is subjective, not FACTUAL. A fifa coefficient is a direct reflection of Barca and RM's accomplishments... THAT's all...

AND Pundits are just that PUNDITS. All their comments tend to be based around offense. Again show me some punditry speaking to the Awesome defending found in LA liga... I'll wait.... LOL.

And that's my point. Let people like the EPL, and we'll let you stan for La Liga. No need to dog and throw shots at the EPL every weekend. Nobody else on here smack talks la liga.

How am i bent out of shape? Cuz i actually challenged your train of thought? LOL

Back to this RM game.

FYI, i actually enjoy watching La liga very much as I can appreciate ALL types/styles of footy.

Funny how when u type some long response, its just your football banter.

When I type a long response, I'm "bent out of shape/need to relax/take things personally". LOL at you internet dudes.

I wonder if that has anything to do with that La Liga defending?

PSK, happy holidays to you and lil man. NO ill will over here, just ask for a bit of objectivity. That is all. Be easy my NT Footy brehs.
