effyoo Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Statment 1: The richest leagues usually equal the best leagues. It doesn't mean they are the most enjoyable to watch. Statement 2: From the nationalities of the different coaches I've had over the years, the style of play was determined by where they were from. Italy = Defensive = Success.... etc. The stereotypes were true. Most fun coach I've had = English. Most successful = Italian. Take this any way you'd like.

philestine Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 No way would i ever consider a Seria A game boring. It might be noticably toned down but never boring. At the moment the Premiere League is a treat to watch, mainly because of the ever increasing amount of internationals in every team. The Spaniards are real exciting to watch, most likely outcome for the champions league final i'm predicting will be AC vs Real. Milan to take it. I always go for the Germans in the champions league but this season they've performed terribly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinup Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 French Ligue 1 would be worth it if all the french players would f****** stay !!!! as soon as a player gets good, zzzzzip, he's bought off by an italian, spanish, or english team..... on the other hand.... maybe the success of the french team (dont tell me about World Cup 2002) specifically comes from the fact they all get a lot better by playing with people from other countries, whereas, Spain, for example, has many skillful players such as Morientes, Mendieta, Raul etc, who all play in great spanish clubs, but Spain never wins anything with their national team... conclusion : i don't think i will ever see a big french club win a european title any time soon :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Barlow Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Originally posted by philistine No way would i ever consider a Seria A game boring. It might be noticably toned down but never boring. Of all the Italian games you would think would include some excitement, it would be the Milan derby. I watched about 65 minutes of that game and turned it off. "The Day Britain Came to a Standstill" was far more interesting. I guess it depends on your personal style or preference. If you like the defensive aspects of the game, then Serie A games are probably a treat. By the way, when does the Spanish League end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinup Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 anyway, the high point of the competion was undoubtedly Real - Manchester....... both matches were beautiful, full of goals, and did not get boring a single second.... i do hope Real makes it to the final so it's not all italian, but real madrid and milan ac have already played in the second phase of groups together....so i don't think it will be a uniquely excellent final whatever happens...

Disco Terry Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Real would be my choice for the final/title - they play to score more than the opposition rather than tactics or being able to defend. They do look vulnerable at times but brilliant going forward. as for the Premiership being the most exciting league, certainly has it's moments but the only premiership game i went to see this season was Villa v Fulham (freebie) and it was as dull as ditchwater. I also saw my own team get thumped 8-0 by Sunderland in the worthington cup. More to say about my team than the quality of the premiership. Serie A games can be dull but have seen a number of good ones. Premier league top games are exciting but many of the players are like mercaneries - poor atmosphere at many games too. Spanish league has quality/skill but sometimes lacks some passion. German games on the whole are boring. So, Spanish top then premiership/italian equal. One last question : why does Roberto carlos take free kicks? i don't think i've seen him score one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_Europe Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 LOL! Me and my mates talked about excatly that last time Real played. Why does Roberto always fuck up his free kicks? Then his goal against France in 1998 was brought up... nuff said, best free kick goal ever in my opinion. For tonight, I hope for Real, my bid is 2-2 though.

Pinup Posted May 29, 2003 Author Share Posted May 29, 2003 it's all over kids Milan is european champion....... which i think sucks seen how they made it (lucky qualification against Ajax, then Inter, and bringing it to the shootouts with Juventus).... at least Juventus did a beautiful match versus Real....... overall the match was really boring, i was predicting 1-0 for Juve though. Props to Europe, who had predicted such an outcome. Porto vs Milan for the Supercup, i hope the portugese can teach an all star team a lesson...!

philestine Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 props to me cunt since i was the only one who explicitly said that Milan will take it in the final. ;) :) I got to see the penalites early this morning as i got out of bed for uni, they're airing the replay in about 3 hours. Some of the penalty taking was unlikely for such a grand match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boooring. Real are the true winners of this tournament after those two quarterfinals against Man U. haha, eureope was correct! usually i really hate the italian league, but i will have to give it that the match was damn exciting. but why the fuck would you not play rivaldo in the final of the champions league??

From what I hear, Rivaldo has been an absloute flop to the nth degree at AC. I think they have bought out his contract to get him to leave. I never rated him anyway.... But seriously those were the worst penalties I've ever seen. Why would you pick defenders to take penalties? Wasn't Gareth Southgate proof enough?? Surprisingly good game, though......

Freddy Adu. Some African born kid who is 13 and plays for the US under 17's or something. But there is no way that kid is 13. He's built like a shit-house and looks older than me.....
