I think the Spanish League is much stronger than the Premier League. But that isn't to say it's better. It's much more unbalanced.

You see, that seems to be the general consensus, but whenever a Spanish player goes to the EPL, they tend to struggle for consistency.

We tend to enjoy kicking them, that's usually one of the reasons.

As in, foul play? That initially stemmed from European football more than British. The British style of football has always been a physical game at its core, which is one of the reasons it's in a poor state right now. Since the start of the Premier League, we've had an influx of European players that are quite happy to fake injury to get an advantage. Heck, it's considered part of the game in Italy and Spain.

Fun fact about Leicester City.

In the last two seasons, Manchester United have spent more money then Leicester have...in their entire history.

No. That's a misconception.
The point is, why will you continue running after getting kicked, when a free kick is a better solution?

How about not kicking players in the chins?

Did you not see the last Italy vs Spain game? It was a pathetic circus.

Fifa could always deal with issues like deliberately attempting to injury people far more effectively. But they don't.

Like every international friendly ever. No consequence, no reward.

Crackdude, do you like England or Wales?

Crackdude, do you like England or Wales?

Are you asking which one I like best, or if I like either one?

[Spock]

I wanted to know if you like either team or not.

[Tad]

Without Barry, Wales are pretty much screwed. England will probably get past the group stages then get kicked out I suspect.

Just seen a perfect example of cheating with Portugal. He elbowed Ali and got away with it, then another player was rolling around on the floor looking at the ref. Once he got nothing, he quickly got up and ran back into position.

Here we go again. It's always the same with Spain, Italy and Port. They're not winning so they play dirty.
