Actually I much prefer Serie A than EPL, unfortunately the number of live telecasts of Serie A as well as time (mostly late nite) are not as good as EPL.

actually most of the Serie A matches play on times like 9pm or 10pm weekly. so the problem is simply bcoz no telecast for it due to the language barrier.

well in truth, the EPL is much more exciting as most teams tend NOT to sit back and defend leads, and will really have a go for it.  although it has long become a cliche, but the Serie A is really a tactical battle at most times, so for a fan to sit through 90 mins of such battles....susah a bit lah....
*
well not really. teams in Serie A no longer 'sit back n defence' most of the time now. biggrin.gif

for 2 years in a row now, Serie A scored more goals than EPL n La Liga. of coz such stats do not prove anything, but surely Serie A is not like what many believe.

is that true then?  maybe i'm still old school lah.  but i have watched Milan games for the past few seasons, and still think that it's a major tactical battle as far as Milan is concerned barring the derbies which were out of this world!  maybe it's for Milan lah, can't compared with the Romas and the Inters simply because I don't watch them!

i done a quick calculation, n what i got is EPL concluded with 931 goals, Serie A hav 930 with 10 games to go, n La Liga got 845 with 30 games remaining.

Serie A is still pretty much abt tactical of coz, as they usually wouldn't rush the ball upfront like EPL. its juz that teams now don't usually hold on with a 1 goal lead n sit back to block out the goal. laugh.gif

i really dont like italian team players, they tend to talk alot before game.. look at ROMA.. Totti asked ferguson to remember his name, but guess what. totti will remember ferguson name..now i dont know about milan.. see their players.. i would love to see them cry really.. after the clash on weds

I think there are many reasons for this..

1. Timezone.. Since most EPL games are broadcasted at the best times (sometimes at 10.45pm, sometimes even earlier at around 7pm.. sometimes 12-1am, rarely shown at 3.00am). I think most of the times, La Liga and Serie A matches are shown quite late, at 3.45am...

2. Fan base.. I guess there is a huge following here, so teams become popular here and it becomes a trend or easier choice. You might want to follow a mate here as one of the reasons (not the single reason anyway)

3. Football style.. English football is a lot of attacking minded and physical.. I guess is entertaining to watch.

That's one of the few reasons.. with the declining of our own football (Malaysian football scene) it makes it even more attractive for people to watch...
*
duh, for the point #1, i think i hav mentioned it quite a few times here b4 : 70-80% of Serie A games plays on our local time 9 or 10pm (depends on DST).

as for the other points... nah i dont wan to open up a can of worms.

How can La Liga be better when EPL rejects like Diego Forlan, Fernando Morientes, and  have managed to flourish there.

now this is a very stupid 'logic' if u ask me.

Can't believe they are doing that bad. My boy Totti isn't even amongst the top scorers.

thats bcoz he only started 10 league games so far - n he was only fully fit for half of them. yet he still managed 5 goals.


QUOTE(kimhoong @ Dec 28 2008, 12:35 AM)
I'm 100% on the bold statement thumbup.gif

I wonder why they never increase the volume of the match after soooo many years. Add in the uninteresting commentary, you get Serie A. laugh.gif

never heard the REAL Italian commentatings, eh ? u'll be amazed. biggrin.gif
