Gotta go with the side boasting Dzeko/ Kun because they are the most successful partnership between the FWD combos. Plus Fernando's ability can keep Yaya forward.

 

[champcruthik]

Mangala and Nastasic are both better than Demichelis.

 

[Sinner]

It's still silverware, right???

La Liga president's American dream


ESPN FC's Gab Marcotti gives his take on the record crowd at Michigan Stadium where Manchester United were 3-1 winners over Real Madrid.
La Liga president Javier Tebas has said he believes the time is right for the Spanish game to take off in the U.S.

Champions Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona are poised to lead attempts to crack the American market, with Tebas saying competitive matches could one day be played there.

The Telegraph quoted the president as saying he believed La Liga was the "best league in the world" and could stake its claim to a key place in the American sporting market.

"We have fans in every corner of the globe, and we want to deliver our product in any format necessary," he said.

"Today we play in Spain, but the future has no frontiers. We are the best league in the world. La Liga will continue to work on our global format so that our league can be visible the world over. From here, anything is conceivable."

Real and Atletico have already played in the U.S. this summer, and Tebas said he was confident the level of interest in them showed Spanish football would be a huge draw for American fans.

Nearly 110,000 people attended Real's 3-1 Champions Cup defeat to Manchester United in Michigan on Saturday -- the biggest-ever crowd for a soccer match in the States.

"The US is the sports marketplace par excellence," Tebas said. "It is the place where any global spectacle must prove its worth, where success is sought in terms of market, strategy and product.

"We want to be able to create and deliver Spanish football there. The best league in the world, the competition in which the best players in the world compete, wants to be able to pass the test of the most demanding sports fans on the planet."

He said "now is the moment" for the sport to take off in the U.S. and stressed: "La Liga considers the U.S. a priority. We will work with all our available resources to reach the American public with a level of excellence which our product represents.

"Our challenge is to reach the millions of potential fans in the U.S. If this comes to pass, La Liga as a brand will be in the best showcase in the world."

La Liga should and now I believe they will do a better job of promoting the league in the US. The EPL has done a great job doing so, La Liga has been behind. But I guess it's time to wake-up. Thing is La Liga has a huge advantage because of kick-off time, they're games would start between good day-time hours unlike England which starts way too early.

Just imagine the US hosting El Classico :x

I see that happening soon.

son, idc..the fact is the chance to see it live without going overseas

 

[flyeed]

Agreed that even a friendly would be crazy dope, but if you meant one of the competitive matches that they might have here like they were talking about in the article, there's no way that's happening

 

[rook]

would defeat the purpose of the rivalry imo.

 

[JJ Goon]

Mangala and Nastasic are both better than Demichelis.

Nastasic is mad underrated IMO

 

[heggsy]

 

[Sinner]

How many games do you plan on attending this season?

 

[heggsy]

My season card cost £390. I've had it one for 7 years straight. No matter what league. That allows me into every home game.

I attended every home game and 21/23 aways in the championship last years and this year, Because I'm also, along with the guys I go with, a Priority one season ticket holder, I was invited by the club to join a priority list for away matches, that guarantees me a ticket for every away game too, sent to my address. If I can't make a game, I send it back and get a refund for said ticket. So money and work pending, all 38 games

 

[eiddyfouw]

nice heggsy

 

[Kimchi Papi]

That's nice heggsy ! A true supporter. Hope your club does well this campaign.

 

[leavemeglazzies]

I applaud La Liga in what they are trying to achieve in America, but honestly I think they will always be second fiddle to the BPL here in the states. I like how they are both competing to tap into the US market though. Makes being a fan of both leagues even better!

 

[Kimchi Papi]

La Liga president Javier Tebas needs to worry about the financial health of a good portion of La Liga teams. Imagine if these teams would be able to pay the wages they were seeking elsewhere... This fool delayed the King's Cup final until he could come back from vacation.

Any Gooners in Chicago?  Flying in this weekend from Cali for a wedding.  Was planning on catching the Community Shield match at the Globe Pub.

 

[Coupé It]

What could happen is playing the final of the Copa Del Rey in the US.

That I can see being an option.
