Blatter| La Liga best in the world.

[Andythetoonfan]

la liga has only got two good teams.. the rest are complete ****.. the prem is so much more competitive and has a better quality overall. Blatter is just talking **** as per

Ah the common deluded opinion that Spain has only got two good sides comes back again,I could easily say the same as noone else has won the EPL for the last 6 years aside from Chelsea and Man United,La Liga has several other good sides such as Villarreal who have one of the most underrated forward lines in the world in Nilmar and Rossi,they also have quality on the wings in Santi Carzola and Cani and the second best keeper in the league in Diego Lopez,Valencia have quality players such as Mata and Banega and also another great set of forwards in Aduriz and Soldado.

Sevilla have players such as Jesus Navas,Fabiano,Perotti,Kanoute and Negredo and Atletico have Forlan,Aguero,Reyes,De Gea,Godin and Felipe.

There all class sides but just don't have the resources of Barca and Madrid so therefore they will win the titles.

By just saying that only chelsea and Man united have won it the last 6 years is foolish and completely vague on the facts of the individual seasons, At least on thoses occasion it wasnt always chelsea challenging Man united, there was a season where liverpool challenged and arsenal have always been there they just drop off in the last 2 months of the season.

Oh and btw the last 6 six seasons of La Liga HAVE ONLY BEEN WON BY MADRID AND BARCA

This guy says it. And Valencia had a powerful team until last season , when almost all of their good players left (David Villa , Silva , Zigic)

 

[Alcaraz]

La Liga is boring, u see the same 2 teams winning, I doubt it was that hard for Messi or Xavi to get into the World XI considering that the only strong opposition they face is R.Madrid and at times Valnencia or At.Madrid, and the rest of the teams is **** thats why they are all scoring goals for fun, Premiere League is way more competitive

2009–10 Chelsea
2010-11 Manchester United


SO much variety. At least during that time period La Liga had 5 different winners.

But Utd did not absolutely dominate every year , the way Real and Barca have been doing

We are not talking about History. Current state.

Spain have two very strong teams that doesn't mean they have better league. League is for 20 teams and thats where Premier league is better.

That's because Barca is possibly the best team of all time and Madrid is pretty darn good too.

I'm not saying the Prem isn't better (I think in the past two seasons it has finally gotten more competitive than La Liga) but they're a lot closer than many English are willing to admit.

I am not saying the Premiership is a million miles better than the La Liga , it is pretty close but I think most peoples argument is that the Premiership has a wider spread of teams being able to challenge for the title , whereas in Spain it is rare that anyone other Real or Barca come close to winning anything.
Yes , Barca and Madrid are great teams but in a league there is 20 teams , not 2.

 

[GodCubed]

Madrid and Barca absolutely destroy their league. If you look at their stats, it's getting ridiculous. Barca, played 18, won 16, drawn 1, lost 1. Madrid's stats are hardly worse. It's getting to a point now where it's more or less a guarenteed victory for them over smaller clubs.

At the other extreme, there is the Bundesliga, which is easily the most open of the big leagues. Serie A is too slow IMO, and the Prem is the best of the lot. It combines athleticism with skill and excitement. More to the point, any team can beat any team. You've got teams like Blackpool doing a double over Liverpool, Birmingham beating Chelsea, Tottenham and City challenging for a top 4 spot.

 

[curtis290]

If we're talking about best league all-around you'd definitely have to go with the Bundesliga. It has by far the highest average attendance in the world, the clubs are very financially secure without a lot of debt, and it has as much parity as any league in the world. It also has the highest goals per game ratio.

As for La Liga and the Prem, Real Madrid and Barca are incredible teams so they'll keep winning (they other teams are downright intimidated by them). The Prem title race is pretty much over (ManU is a lock) but the quality of the top teams is a lot worse than in recent years. I don't think this ManU team would have won the title in any other season dating back a long time.

From a non-Englidh, non-biased person: Premier League is better if you like at average ability. La liga has Real And Barca which are much better teams then ANY English team. But take those 2 away and you have 18 lesser teams with some of them still being a good side (Valencia, Atletico for instance). While in England you have Chelsea, ManU, Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal as the 5 top teams who are easily better then the 18 lesser ones in La Liga. The English subtoppers can be compared with La liga's teams like Valencia or Atletico.
But Blatter DOES have a point when he says that La Liga teams are better in developing Their own spanish youth players. While English teams just buy some kid from Africa or South America for a lot of money and develop him instead of putting their energy in English young players (Which is reflected in the debts that almost every Elnglish club has)

Good that you mentioned Bundesliga. It is very entertaining and open. No half filled stadiums, fantastic crowd and very good games. Up there with the best leagues interms of entertainment,

 

[Mike.]

The idea of who is better is very subjective. He has picked his own criteria for why spain is best, (because the spanish players are home based and they won the World Cup). There is no definitive criteria for which league is better and thus it's only his opinion, no need for anyone on either side to get hot under the collar.

Also not really sure what we can learn from La Liga itself. Their TV shares are lot less unequal. Even the spanish commentators bemoan the fact its a two horse race, because the third horse is a donkey

 

[Lloyd is Fat]

If the Prem isn't the best league in the world then why does everybody in Africa and Asia support a Prem team?

This is just another example of the Anti-English policy that FIFA and UEFA hold.

I agree with the last bit but the first point isn't the most convincing side to an argument to be fair

The Premiership is the most well marketed league in the world. And here, timings matter a lot. The average Prem game is at 8Pm, 9:30 Pm or 11:55 Pm.
The La Liga games are at 2:30 Am or 3:30 Am.
The Bundesliga is much the same as the La Liga in terms of time.

 

[vlad-the-impaling-gunner]

Sepp Blatter - what a ****** he is. EPL is by far more competitive and exciting than La Liga or even Serie A.
