Did anyone see the Racing Santander v Real Madrid game. I thought
it was hilarious. Santander winner through 2 late penalties. The
defending from Madrid was aweful and there was a rugby tackle by
Cannavaro which was easily a penalty in either rugby or football
cause he didnt have the ball. 2 sent off for madrid onegiven to a
player who had come on for about 2 minutes before getting it.
La Liga is sh*t.

The depth in the league is far better....
Better than what?
The picture quality does spoil it for me I'm afraid.
Have to disagree. La Liga is a top class competition but it is not the best in the world. There are quality players in La Liga. However, some things that are frustrating about La Liga is the poor picture quality and how many (not all, but many) of the players dive and fake injuries to get free kicks.loyalgunner2007-06-19 16:24:15
Tommy Smyth with a Y is cool though
I expect Sevilla to win.
The UEFA Cup final Sevilla versus Espanyol shows the League
is strong as I said before.
La Liga is awesome, the atmosphere is amazing! The competition at
the top is really tense & exciting, unlike the EPL this
season.

Nah La Liga is f**king bollocks the football is boring as f**k
nothing like the EPL which is fast and exciting and the atmosphere
is sh*t the fans have no f**king idea
Villlan I usually agree with your comments but I cant see where
this one comes from! Deportivo have been struggling and I
cant see the signings that would enable this!!

For once the footballers were as big a clowns as the ESPN
commentary team. That's Smyth with a Y in the ole onion
bag.

It is but it was the first time i have ever watched 15 minutes
of it and i enjoyed it for the wrong reasons thought.
Actually its usually pretty good. Good teams to watch are
Real Zaragoza, Sevilla and Osasuna.
Barca usually win but are getting to be a bit of a Chelsea (eg play poorly then a superstar scores an unlikely spec goal to win).
Its also great watching Athletico failing to reach potential season after season with Torres especially never quite justfying his superstar tag.
What is poor is that the bottom teams give up against the top sides too easily - more fight in Sheffield Utd and Watford than in those guys.

Yeah - I think it is pretty good and I watch it a fair bit.
Sevilla are my pick of the teams to watch - they have some great players. I would love to see Danny Alves ply his trade in the Premiership.
Zaragoza is pretty much made up of lots of guys who never quite made it at the bigger clubs (Aimar et al) but have gelled into a very good side - similar to the Villarreal of 2006.
Certainly much better than the Serie A!

COmpletely disagree. If ESPN could sort out the picture
and the commentary then it would be fantastic. The depth in
the league is far better, the technical ability of the players in
general is very high and although Madrid and Barcelona have been
strong recently there is plenty of competition for the title.
Plus some ridiculiusly good goals...

Tommy is unrivalled as the world's worst commentator and I'm
not sure why the pictures are so awful - we can get perfectly good
pictures of the Premier League but route them through America and
you don't get to see much. But I enjoy watching it as a chnage from
the Premiership, and Champions League is briiliant aaprt from same
issues of commentary and picture quality.
Would be good if the Chelsea v Liverpool matches could take an
English feed.

Better than what?
Sorry, meant to say better than the Premier League (which I
assume most are comparing La Liga to)
Recently ESPN seem to have a better feed from the Champions
League games, but they can definitely get a proper picture
sometimes. Recently in an FA Cup game which was
being broadcast on both Sky Sport 1 and ESPN (can't remember which,
musn't have been a good one) the Sky Sports 1 version clicked over
to the English commentary, but not the ESPN. Odd. Also,
for about 20 minutes in the first half of the Arsenal Liverpool FA
Cup game the picture clicked over the a crisp version of premier
league quality. Then after half time it was back to the
grainy version.
Anyone able to shed any light at all on this?

is sh*t the fans have no f**king idea i mean you may aswell place
the two teams on the moon and you'd get more atmposhere!!! If i had
a choice between Arsenal v Man Yoo or even Fulham v Sheffield
instead of Real v Barca or two rubbish La Liga sides i know who i'd
choose every time.
Also Serie A is sh*t.

We saw perfectly well that Sevilla are a good team when they played
Spurs. I think all the top leagues have merit and Buffon is
being to dismissive. Osasuna versus Fulham would be an
Osasuna win.
The league that has fallen away in recent times is the Bundesligia. Serie A lacks some depth, but EPL and the Spanish Primera are good right through(even if the bottom teams sometimes give up too easily against the top sides).

did anyone see the barca vs getafe game, i don't really like la
liga but this messi goal was awesome, it was just like Maradona's
one against england , carbon copy almost. Buffon is being a bit
over the top with his criticism of la liga, i know epl is 10 times
better but would you rather watch nothing or la liga?
I'd rather watch La Liga than nothing of course adam!!! But i'd
actually rather watch the A-League than La Liga and that says
something!!!
Also Messi's goal was world class but let's not build this guy up yet he may end up a flop.

I'd rather watch A League too!

I don't believe anyone would think this unless they were
totally insane or on a wind up.
Here is some of the feedback he has had.

So...... there not in the champs league.
Sevilla will definitely win.
Buffon: LOL you are pretty stupid. :)
La Liga is awesome, its going to be a real nailbiter to the finish now, with four games to go and only 1 point separating Barca and Madrid.
Hala Madrid!

WHAT???? So your telling me Arsenal vs Manchester was not an
exciting match? Thats only naming one great match of this season. I
felt that Englands year was great.
Id take english over spanish football anyday.

I never said that the matches aren't exciting, I was saying
that the title race has been more exciting in La Liga & will
probably go to the very last match of the season.
The only reason why its close because whenever a team is looking
good to win it they roll of 2 or 3 bad games and let the others
back in.
Some people are forgetting that there are very good teams and
excellent players at a wider number of clubs than just the title
chasers. The "slip ups" are therefore more likely.
Title chasers need to beat teams that put internationals from
around the world on the park. Villa Real have had a poorer
season but their lineup is no pushover - look at Osasuna,Athletic
Madrid, even Espanyol. Team like Real Madrid and Barca have
to play well to beat them.
Take yesterdays game between Real Zaragoza and Athletic Bilboa - a great hat trick from the defeated team for a 4-3 - hardly a pushover for a well performing side like Zaragoza.

Real Madrid where great this weekend. 3-1 against a
determined Deportivo. Beckham very good. Still not
convinced that Cannavaro and Roberto Carlos should still be there
though.
What a set of results this weekend! Barca droping two points
at home in a draw with city rivals Espanyol, then Real Madrid
saving a point at the death away at Zaragoza. The second
Zaragoza goal was something special from Aimar and Diego
Milito. Sevilla bow out of title race with 0-0 away at
Mallorca.
Next week Real just have to match or better Barcas result to take the league.

Mate, for a guy whose nickname is Buffon, you have some
strange opinions about european football. Personally, I think
that the EPL is dull as muck. Too many long balls, players
who play to avoid doing something bad, rather than creating
something good, and fans who are convinced that the English are the
only people who really "understand football".
The influx of massive stacks of cash to the EPL only makes it
bearable to watch. Serie A is a little to defensive minded
for me, but its still better than a lot of the hack-and-chase
matches of the EPL.
i love la liga. always will, and i cant wait to see if villareal
will be able to hold on to 6th spot to qualify for eufa cup. they
got sevilla tho, its gunna be an interesting last round.
With Athletico being so erratic Villareal must be the best chance
now. Zaragoza have qualified I believe.
Well done Real. Good for Beckham to win a title before he leaves.
yes well done real, but even better was villareal 1 nil over
sevilla. im stoked!!
The end results were as they should be. Pleased to see
Villareal and Zaragoza qualify for UEFA Cup.
Barca and Real both tried hard to lose the title over recent weeks - actually finished in a tie although Real win under the rules.
Sad to see Real Sociedad relegated; hopefully they can come back next year. Replaced by one of my teams (ones I support in Real Vallodollid)

I'm still pretty crushed after Barca came so close. Still, if
I was a neutral that would have been a fantastic end to the season.
I can't wait for next year. I'm sure that Gio Dos Santos
and maybe Bojan Krkric will get some gametime in the first team,
and some fresh blood (not to mention outrageous talent) should see
them kicking some a$$ next season.
The likely changes to the top teams line ups certainly adds a lot
of interest. I predict that the day of the superstar is over
in La Liga. I believe that most clubs will seek to build
robust squads that can perform consistently through a long season
rather than headline catching signings. There are a lot of
good young players around who could be given a chance next
year.
Will Zaragoza be able to hang on to the Millito brothers? Will David Silva be on the move? Are there bargains available from Celta going down?

Deportivo La Corona for 08' title
Villlan I usually agree with your comments but I cant see where
this one comes from! Deportivo have been struggling and I
cant see the signings that would enable this!!
I was taking the piss mate, dont jump the gun.
Phew, my faith in you is restored
