Re: Spanish league is a boring two-horse race

Only high scoring matches happen in la liga Laughing

I'm genuinely curious to see the last team to be 6-0 down at half time btw. This is not a troll.

Also chad

Nobody ever said that was the case. Ever.

Bayern - HSV was "only" 5:0 at half time.

by Tomwin Lannister Sun Aug 18, 2013 7:12 pm

5:0? What an uneventful match Proud

by Donuts Sun Aug 18, 2013 7:15 pm

when people compare the leagues they say "lmao as if Barcelona can score 6 in half time against (insert top team name here)"

but my question is since when has Levante been a top team?
I'm sure Barcelona could score that much as-well against Norwich City who was in the 11th league position (same as Levante) last season.

by Tomwin Lannister Sun Aug 18, 2013 7:16 pm

I doubt they'd be 6-0 up at half time tbf

by Donuts Sun Aug 18, 2013 7:17 pm

6-0 isn't a norm for Barcelona though this is the first time this has happened in a while.

why you think Norwich can stop those attacking moves Laughing

again Epl looks hard cause its just hoofing and being physical how is manu fairing against technical teams lately Laughing

I guess they could do it against the HSV, though. Heck, even Hoffenheim defeated them 5:1 XD

I dont even bother to watch La Liga these days.

So predictable.

I'll put my cents on Real Madrid to win La Liga this season.

3rd and 5th(maybe) biggest club in Spain playing right now(Atletico - Sevilla) - nobody cares.

3rd and 5th biggest club in England(Arsenal - Spurs). Everybody would care.

by Albiceleste Sun Aug 18, 2013 10:29 pm

The match is being discussed in la liga thread

by AltoZ Sun Aug 18, 2013 10:43 pm

Yeah, but its only hipsters that watch.

To be honest, I dont watch as much EPL or La Liga anymore. Much rather Serie A & Bundesliga.

BT Sport put on a much better show when broadcasting European football and have much better pundits. Think I might cancel Sky Sports all together, BT have as much football now.

Maybe it's the unholy time they are playing. I mean, 23:00 GMT+2 just before a work day? Not really a good time to watch in my time zone. (Which reminds me, I really should go to sleep now - I have to get up at 06:00.)

Barca defeated Levante with 7-0 = La Liga is uncompetitive but no one mentiones that Real Madrid barely defeated Betis at home. Heck, Betis were even outplaying Real Madrid at some parts of the game and even could have had a penalty. If that would have happend in the PL, then everyone would be using it as a proof of the competitive nature of the PL..

I think you see that wrong. This definitely shows that La Liga turned from a duopoly to a monopoly and thus it gets even more boring Razz

Betis are a very good team. Barca would struggle against them too.
