what class is that? kicking and diving all game with like 10 mins of good football over the course of the match...normal match day games are 2x better than el classico now not even comparable to other derbies.

Which derby is that?

Crappy boring Serie A ones?

or ones like Liverpool vs United that according to SAF is the biggest derby in the world lulz.

It's an annoying error that many Liga fans shouldn't be making.

Anyways, the only reason Clasicos have been sucking are because of tactics and Madrid inferiority. They have always been great games to watch. Even with Barcelona hammerings, Madrid usually come out all gung ho and it makes for an entertaining match. Only recently with Mourinho has it gone down to a grindfest.

Barcelona seem to save up ALL their energy for these matches, since the are good ole Castillian hatin' Catalans with years of all playing together. Madrid just don't have that chemistry yet.

But nevermind, Sahin the Saviour is here cheers

Last Clasico I recall ended 5-4 on aggregate with Real being the better team over both legs.

We attacked them in the 1-1 draw CL semi and should have won if it was not for a wrong call by the ref.

We attacked them at home in the league and got a 1-1 draw there too.

The only boring game was the 2-0 loss where we parked the bus.

Serie A Derbies so far:

Napoli - Milan: 3-1
Juve - Milan: 2-0
Lazio - Roma: 2-1

Not bad for "boring" derbies.

by EarlyPrototype Fri Oct 21, 2011 8:07 pm

and those derbies are better than clasicos?

More exciting than Clasico has been for the last 6 years......

It's either been a Barca rapefest or a boring draw, not exciting for a neutral at all......

I'd rather watch the majority of derby's around europe to El Clasico if iam honest.

please dont mention other derbies that actually still hold merit unlike el classico that has done nothing but hurt footballs image...i would understand if you said el classico being good 3 years ago but not now.

Now its only 2 teams ruining their image more and more...

by Sushi Master Fri Oct 21, 2011 8:11 pm

I'd take the Nazio - Roma match to most Clasicos, anyday.

All of these are poor man's Dortmund - Schalke, anyways.

The build up to the Clasicos are more exciting than those games.

I suggest you watch all the Clasicos of the last six years again I think you must be confused.

Please show me a match where either real or barca haven't dived or played dirty as hell in a recent el classico?

When someone makes a clean challenge the other team dives. When one makes a bad tackle they complain and bitch about bad refereeing. Both of the teams play like crap i dont care for the scoreline i care for the football on display and i can't watch football like that and im sure there are alot of people that don't like it aswell.

All that means is that you enjoy the hype more, it doesnt make the game better.....

Which is the point El Clasico is all hype, no substance......

Atleast since the 3-3 when Messi scored a hatrick when he was a teenager......
