Simple:

EPL has better attack and defense in general, so there are less interceptions because the passing is of superior quality and there are less dribbles because the defenders are too awesome to fall for the amateur-ish dribbling of La Liga and Bundesliga.

Midget wrestling = analogy for La Liga?

Small players, lots of play acting, over the top stars?

It is easy for PL teams to dominate another PL team. La Liga teams have a much more difficult task to do so. :coffee:

Donkey league has become the most watched league in the world courtesy their excellent marketing.People ONLY watch it for the hype :coffee:

Imagine if they actually played "football".... :bow:

That makes sense until you actually watch them play. I don't call it the donkey league because Bale kind of looks like one.

Guardiola

That's because they play in the donkey league.

I'm convinced Xavi would never misplace a pass in England.

by EarlyPrototype Wed Jan 18, 2012 6:23 pm

Xavi could even be a play making goal keeper because his team will never lose possession in the PL.

Which pretty much tells you the myth about him being a pure stopper is clearly bollocks.

For a centre back is passing range is superb, Probably the best in the World in that aspect for his position.

JT's trademark 40 yard diagonal with his weaker foot. :bow:

if PL starts to copy la liga teams than there will be no difference between EPL n inferior liga :lucas:

our hoofball specialist teams make the league so special :bow:

Yea but more often than not, many of the passes will be in their own half.

Whereas its not the case in with creative midfielders who have to be accurate with their passing in the opposition half which would include delivery of final ball as well.So it definitely has some significance.

by Gil Wed Jan 18, 2012 6:54 pm

That's about the only thing I would actually give Ramos any praise for. Still not better than Terry though. Smile
