Re: Spanish league is a boring two-horse race

Yeah this is officially my last La Liga game.

I'm taking the 4-6 games I watched in that league every year and replacing them with PSG - Monaco and some mid-table BPL games.

Good bye La liga, it's not been fun Proud

barca does usually score 2-3 in a half, on a good day even worse

STFU gais, La Liga is the bestest in the world. It's because Barca and Madrid are sooooooooo good, they would walk any league in the world. Especially Madrid who can't beat a strong team in a CL knockout phase 11vs11 but are somehow better than the rest.

Atletico would finish with over 100 points in any league except La Liga tbh.

Can't argue with facts.

Where was this when bayern was winning 6-0 every week Laughing

by M99 Sun Aug 18, 2013 6:49 pm

Apart from El Clasico, did you guys seriously watch La Liga these past few years?

by AltoZ Sun Aug 18, 2013 6:50 pm

B-b-b-b-ut look at the spanish teams' record in the massive Europa League!!!!!

by Tomwin Lannister Sun Aug 18, 2013 6:50 pm

Like I said. 4-6 games.

Normally El classico

RM - Atleti

Barca- Atleti

Because I like Falcao.

by Abramovich Sun Aug 18, 2013 6:50 pm

Yeah but difference being in the CL Bayern have beaten piratically everyman and his dog.

At least Bayerns opponents kept them at 6-0 after 90 minutes, not 45 Proud

You can't help but think how do Barca/Madrid fans deal with such dominance? Doesn't it become boring at one point?

by Albiceleste Sun Aug 18, 2013 6:52 pm

When Milan came to the Nou, they didn't fair much better than Levante Laughing

by Tomwin Lannister Sun Aug 18, 2013 6:54 pm

Tbh i'd say that 4-2 on aggregate after 180+ minutes is perhaps a tad better than 6-0 after 45 minutes.

one of the two teams still has to win the league hmm

by halamadrid2 Sun Aug 18, 2013 6:56 pm

Barcas biggest win is probably their 8-0 win against Almeria which also came in the first match of the season

Barca to beat that hmm

by Albiceleste Sun Aug 18, 2013 6:59 pm

Leverkusen also suffered a similar fate to Levante hmm

Maybe it's not just La Liga hmm

Maybe Barca are a good team hmm

Maybe

Barca to beat that

Highest win in home matches:

10–1, FC Barcelona 10–1 Gimnàstic Tarragona in 1949, in La Liga.

Question time folks.

Get ready to buzz in when you know the answer Smile

When's the last time a team had a goal difference of +6 or greater prior to this match?

Out of the top 5 leagues.

yep

But seriously, this is like half paced walking the ball into the net. Are they even out of second gear? Laughing

yeh..but the team is expected to win every game and every trophy , every season. so they is still some pressure there. The style of play also keeps us watching. If they played hoofball we would quickly get bored.
Even though its only Levante, we still appreciate the skill e.g Messi's through ball for pedro's goal. You hardly see such a thing in EPL (but I'm sure its because EPL has the best defence on earth, not the lack of creativity Wink

Sorry I forgot to add. At half time

I know there's quite a few full time results like that.

by chad4401 Sun Aug 18, 2013 7:10 pm
