simon 1,773 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Does anyone else just wish it was about football? It seems like every week there is some sub plot going on. Does it add an edge to the EPL? Or is becoming too much like a soap opera? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon 1,773 Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 La Liga is a much better league quality wise. But some EPL games are brilliant. I am just getting fed up with the bullshit they come up with week after week. Sky are the worst for it, just hype, hype, hype. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamd1986 8 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Was discussing EPL vs la Liga with a mate the other day. I was saying that la Liga is better, whereas he claimed the EPL is the superior league. His reasoning for this was that while the top third of la Liga is probably better, the lower teams aren't up to much. Therefore the EPL, overall, is a better league. I admit I couldn't comment further on this because due to my ignorance I haven't seen many games involving just the lower teams in la Liga, but I've seen a lot more games of similar status in the EPL.Would be interested to read what others (especially the likes of Muff) make of this, as I'm sure a few of you will be well up on this compared to me.

Orangeclement 619 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Some games i've seen in Seria A have been but others have been (seems any game involving Palermo coincidently) but EPL is boring as fuck the only games i now take any interest in is the Arsenal games and even then most are boring as Arsenal pass the ball about 11 denfenders on the edge of the 18 yard box. you just dont get this all out defensive mentallity in La Liga, i watched Real V think it was Almeria ( finished 3-0) but they didnt sit back and defend they tried to attack and cause problems etc were doing well up until 60 minutes gone .

Henders82 552 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 la Liga by far the better league, seems like there is a big match every week in it and as for the lower teams in La Liga, some of the technical ability on show is as good as top ten premiership.

Too many teams with a similar style. People say the PL is overrated but id rather watch the PL than Seria A. Seria A has a lot of poor teams which aren't that good. La Liga is the exact same. So many teams in La Liga can't even man mark players.A.Madrid don't believe in following runners, they just allow players to run. Thats not the sign of a good league.To be honest, this might cause a few rows but the reason so many of you love La Liga is because you sit down on a saturday/sunday night and watch it and think its awesome because of how open it is but you have to judge it overall. La Liga lets itself down with the defending in a big way. Plus the Premier league is more competitive overall. Teams are harder to beat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
