I really would like to argue on how La Liga and Serie A fanboys keep on saying that their leagues are more into technicality and intelligence.

What's your take on how Carrick-Scholes combo in opening up game when Man United trashed Roma a few seasons back?

Or what about Alonso spraying those passes over for Liverpool? Maybe the role of Stevie G and Frank Lampard with their runs and passes?

If those La Liga fanboys say that their league are more into technique I cant argue..but Seria A?????

The last time I watch Seria A...er...fell asleep...

BTW I only watch either Juve or AC Milan...

I`m still a big fan of Uncle Maldini...

Well, I don't think there is anything to argue. Those were just our opinions.

Yes, you have stated good examples of intelligence by EPL players, but your examples are all the big 4 team players. What about the rest? Lennon? Ashley Young? Both are like Sevilla's Capel, great dribbling and speed but their other technical aspects are not top class. Right now, Capel, already a Spanish international, still can't hold a first team place at Sevilla.

La Liga used to have top playmakers. Zidane, Riquelme, and Xavi, among the most recent and famous examples. For some ardent La Liga fans, they surely know Ivan de la Pena, currently playing for Espanyol or Yeste, currently a Bilbao player. These players symbolize intelligence in La Liga. So, I think for us La Liga fanboys to think like what we do is not wrong at all. There are still many other creative players with good technique in La Liga

spanish league , er the commentator just too boring

a good question would be: does football need cheerleaders, like the american game do?

coz BPL has too many divers...u know who i mean hehehe

i will agree if someone says la liga is better than epl....true that la liga is more technical....but i cant accept is someone say seria a is better than epl...seria a is too slow and defensive + more violent for me....

huh? I thought there are more playing in the La Liga?

Examples?

Can't really give out any examples, it's just a hearsay, in fact I'm kinda tired of people kept saying that the EPL has a lot of divers and then by only giving CR7, Drogba or Gerrard as examples. The fact that I hear some players like Torres said that in the La Liga, the players are more prone to go down than to stay on their feet just to get a free kick gave me the impression about this, I know it is not a very good way to accuse the La Liga of having more divers, but like I said in the previous post, I thought that there are more in the La Liga.

Regardless, I do not care, I just watch Liverpool, no matter where they play. Why don't people start defending or bashing the Champions League because referees are more prone to whistle on a foul?

Why? He's absolutely right. There's more "simulation" in La Liga. It's a fact and very much part of the football culture in Spain. But this doesn't mean I support diving; I hate it when players dive.

I never said she was wrong. Just demand examples, since she stated that she thought like that. Would like to know why she thought like that

I was watching the game between Real and Villareal yesterday and Robben just sums up the league, he scored a stunning goal only to throw himself to the ground a few minutes later. La Liga has the most technical teams in the world, you won't see a Stoke or Bolton so in that sense it is more interesting. Italian football is very tactical, like watching a chess game being played out.

I think mostly ppl's who preferred oth leagues doesn't really hate EPL/BPL. Most of them, including me, are just tired from all those media hypes from (ESPN/STAR) that EPL/BPL is BY FAR THE BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD. Sorry bout the bold part, it's a direct quotation from most of the English football pundits on TV.

I enjoy English league as well and usually watch it week in and week out but i don't really think think they are way superior than oth leagues. It's a subjective opinion and those pundits are really ARROGANT and IGNORANT in giving those comments. Just my 2cents though.

So if she'd not wrong you agree with her then? Then why demand examples? You do realise that by doing that you're implying that you disagree with her. It's not a question of why she thinks like that. It's her opinion from what she has observed from the two leagues. She's obviously not targetting any individual in particular.

matyrze asked me to watch few games of La Liga.After watching few matches of La Liga, I still think that cards are easily fly over in the matches over there...

Matches like
barca and mallorca
Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao
Real madrid and mallorca, etc

got at least 7 yellow/red cards...

Which makes me think player like Joey Barton will get sent off every 2-3 matches..
