Why is 'slow tempo la liga' seen as inferior to the 'fast paced' EPL?

Why is 'slow tempo la liga' seen as inferior to the 'fast paced' EPL?

I just see it as different. Takes different skills to do either.

I think some pundits see it as inferior, but they dont know any better.

Agree with Franchise. Some pundits are just biased because they're told to be, I imagine.

:lucas:

Because average footy fans thinks end to end football with more goals is the best football played or atleast pretty to watch.

Remember the Chelsea vs Arsenal 3-5? one of the worst matches i have seen this season.But some how the score line and the way the game played masked it.

It is mainly because there are more top teams. More teams close to the level of the top 2. I guess you could say people enjoy watching fast paced games too.

La Liga may be a two horse race, but the doesn't change the fact that United and Chelsea have won all the recent premier league titles between them since 2004-05.

There is also more of a chance that lower table teams can drop points and turn in shock results.

It is also nearly unpredictable as to who out of Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs will finish top 4. Assuming United and City are going to grab the top 2.

Premier league also have had more English cubs in the latter stages in the champions league. Normally 3-4 teams. La Liga has only had Barca go through to the latter stages consistently and Real Madrid have only had 1 semi final appearance in the last 7 years.


Arguing in favor of La Liga it could be said that Real and Barca would dominate any league in the world. IMO they would and comfortably too.
:bball:

Premier league also has sugar daddies owning City and Chelsea. That is half the top 4 right there. La Liga has Magala................lol.

World XI consisted of predominantly the big 2 in Spain too.

Personally even though I am a Real Madrid fan I find the Premier League more entertaining.

I know many like this pass run style in northern europe, but not so much Holland. I think american like this style to.

But south america, holland, southern europe (including balkan) is like international top football is more slow and technikle.

We must have been watching different games because that was one HELL of a game. Also, are you seriously talking about fans only liking the EPL more because of big scorelines? LOL REALLY?

its because the best players get too much time on the ball in spain. look at silva etc, they need time to settle before they become who they are while ruud, forlan, cesc etc came from epl clubs on the back of disappointing seasons and absolutely kill it.
the 1st season silva returns to spain, he will murder that league

PLayers get better with maturity and age, stop talking nonsense. And you put Cesc in that bracket, need i remember what team he is playing for? and how well, he is being set up?

more empty arguments.

The way both teams defended that game was horrible and horrible is an understatement,how good was chelsea at that time? how good was arsenal? How was the winning goal scored? a terry error.The game was more about who will make less errors than anything and thats something hardly a great football match.

It's because liga fans enjoy futsal more than football.... lol

They buy into all those fancy tricks that liga players can do with peace in mind.

They don't seem to me that they value physical game, defensive mindset and speed.

Defensive mind set?

EPL has been the most goal scored league for god knows how long,brainless defending at best.

Dont listen to Cyber, he made a point of insisting how Silva was going to flop.

This subject isnt his forte.

And the attacking was incredible. There was no single WINNING goal. Form is irrelevant, it's temporary and class is permanent, it was an important game and Arsenal's revival practically dependend on it ffs. It was an incredible game and it was very entertaining. Terry made an error in his penalty shoot out in CL (Not as similar, but still relevant), you're not taking anything away from that game.

brainless defending at best?

So I guess you have the brain to do better than them huh? Listen to your own brain fart.

Without Barca, la liga wouldn't have survived sustaining the fourth CL spot. rofl!

Because most people are idiots. There are great games to be had whether it's in the PL, Liga, Serie A or Bundesliga.

The whole PL thing is due to recent best league in the world brainwashing and due to the high tempo, kick and run tactic which is very pleasing to the eye, but not to the brain. I personally hate it, but then again I'm an Arsenal fan.

La Liga is frowned upon because most teams give up upon facing Madrid and Barcelona. 30 point differences between 2nd and 3rd place should not be happening.

Calcio is said to be filled with old men, and wingers are rarely used so you have more tactical, central area oriented games which are supposedly are catennaccio or something.

Bundesliga is a little mix of everything, employing possession , counter attacking, and grindfests all in one. But it's completely ruled out due to lack of media coverage and supposedly "mediocre players".

IMO, all the leagues have an appealing side, and I enjoy watching most decent teams from any league.

you see him now? you see him in his last season at valencia? look inbetween and see his worst season to date.
like i said would happen.
dont gloat now, silva has been average for 4 to 5 weeks now...

So Silva is flopping like you said?

Still sticking with that are you?

Did you have an opinion on Aguero? Would love to have heard it seeing how he is scoring much easier now then ever before.

Silva and Aguero would sleep walk into the United team.

Wonder what he thought of Mata.

That's probably why as soon as Suarez pulls a trick, people start wanking, and then he misses a sitter, and there you go scratching your head.

And look at the wanking surrounding Aguero, Silva or Mata?

that stuff is considered as normal in la liga, keep riding the cliches

and by sheer luck, theres a massive rumour that silva has a broken bone in his foot.
im not being funny, but he and nasri have been average since november, aguero and milner have been their 2 best players

including the fact he was young, developing and in an average team, he was scoring just under 1 in 2 games.

what was your point about scoring freely?

Interesting statistics:

Average player age:

Serie A- 26.9

EPL- 26.7

La Liga - 26.5

Ligue 1 - 25.4

Bundesliga - 25

Eredivisie - 23.9
