Madridistas All Over Copa And Euros Collide While Colombians Dominate - The Other Teams Thread

Villarreal, Betis games are mostly fun to watch. Athletic Bilbao are much better to watch in recent years as they have had good talent and right coaches.

Celta, Rayo, Espanyol, Levante play good football among lower table teams. PL has 5-6 clubs with huge fanbases compared to just 2 in La Liga. Wolves, Bournemouth etc vast majority viewers are local fans just like Rayo or Espanyol.

Production quality is much better and ref standards in PL are not as bad compared to La Liga. Lahoz used to be the the only La Liga coach who was considered good enough for big CL and World Cup games yet he rarely got Clasico games.

Not that he was a really good Spanish ref, but above average at International level while rest were not good enough. Negreira bribe system couldn't have helped in promoting competent young refs.

 

Real Sociedad were also easy on the eyes during Imanol era except last season. Hope they bounce back rather than go Sevilla and Valencia route.

Cordon has the right track record as SD to improve Sevilla, but they need to fix FFP situation first to make some moves other than free transfers.

Valencia are hopeless. Marcelino and Alemany got them back on track, but Lim pressed self destruction button again by firing both.

 

How come the Athletic Club Vs Arsenal game is kicking off at 6:45pm?

 

Athletic ripping through the Arseanal defense with ease..

 

If they only had a normal striker...

 

Wow Zubimendi getting dispossessed 3 times so far leading to dangerous counters by Athletic.

 

Insta reel going around of yamals father being kicked out of an establishment for hostile behaviour.... The police were throwing him around like he was a bag of potatoes and the guy looked drugged up.

 

Gyokeres taken off. Think his upside is Mario Gomez, but Arsenal won't dominate teams and feed a limited striker so much like Bayern did in Bundesliga.

 

Martinelli scores soon after coming on as a sub.

 

Very, very fortunate..1v1 with both sides of the net open to him and he shoots at the GK, mofo doesn't have the physical capacity to lift his head

 

Lol the guy was busy shaking off that defenders and barely had time to get the shot in.... That was a good goal

 

Gyokeres to me was another Darwin Nuñez. Flat track bully in Portuguese league who gets found out when the competition rises.

 

2-0

 

It's why he wasn't being liked to all the greatest teams itw and was looking between arsenal and man U lol

 

Athletic should have made more of their many chances in the 1H. Arsenal scored scrappy goals but at least they capitalized on what they got.

 

Dortmund are some serious bottle jobs.

 

Juve 4-4 Dortmund
Benfica 2-3 Qarabag

 

Yildiz with another golazo

 

Mourinho close to succeeding Lage at Benfica
