England or Italy

[enigma]

I don't know, in terms of entertainment I'd say EPL wins by miles. Technically the football in Spain and Italy are better.

How can you say Italian football is better? They just defend defend defend defend defend and more defending!

In 160 games the EPL have scored a total of 420 goals

In 140 games the Serie A have scored a total of 340 goals

that's not to far off considering the EPL have 20 more games played

Also......

In 160 games the EPL have an average of 2.64 goals per match

In 140 games the Serie A have an average of 2.42 Goals per match

that leaves us with a 0.22 average goals difference, that's also not to far off, and the EPL have 20 more games played

wow, the Serie A is very defensive indeed


In conlcusion.....the Serie A is not defensive, we just have more competition

You can throw all the stats you want at me. My point is the Italian game has more of an emphasis on defending. Slow build up play, sitting on goal leads, etc

The English game is much quicker with a greater emphasis on getting the ball into the back of the net, the whole point of football.

Therefore the English game is more entertaining and i get much better value for my money IMO.

but then again, what kind of idiots would think there's a tactical and strategic point to soccer which could help get the ball in the back of the net

oh yea, the team that won 3 world cups doing it

I suggest you do your maths again:

Ah well, was wrong on that one. Saw on an other site that Italian matches had slight more goals.

But like Santino said, the difference is minimal. It does annoy me when it keeps getting labelled defensive, because that's the old stereotype.

 

[mega montana]

ain't nothing wrong with being labeled defensive, you are supposed to stop the other team from scoring, no?

Anyway, i've enjoyed watching serie a this year, i find it entertaining because smaller teams are no walkover for the bigger clubs.

A question for Juve fans though, why so many empty seats? Is it because the seats are so far away from the pitch? Games readily available on TV?

I'd think a team that has the talent of Juve, the fans would flock in to see them

LOL@ Retardino the numskull advising people on about the good that comes out of just simply shutting the **** up to stafe off further embarrassment....man that's gold. Seriously, if you only practiced what you preached, you'd be a Goddamn mute around here. If only. though. I mean, you and your backdoor brothers have fouled up and ruined countless of threads with your inane and tripe talk and you have the gall to talk to a SG hero like dannyeli in that manner? What a joke!!

 

[santino]

yes, you are correct, it was a joke...hence the

my apologies if you were offeneded for a joking comment directed at danny

and retardino...hahahahaha, good one, and since your so familiar with family guy, then you'll have fun reading this

Ha ha ha! Oh gosh that's funny! That's really funny! Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. You are the weakest link goodbye. You know, I've, I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Hmm. You're the first. I've never heard anyone reference, reference that outside the program before. Because that's what she says on the show right? Isn't it? You are the weakest link goodbye. And, and yet you've taken that and used it out of context to insult me in this everyday situation. God what a clever, smart girl you must be, to come up with a joke like that all by yourself. That's so fresh too. Any, any Titanic jokes you want to throw at me too as long as we're hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity. God you're so funny!

Serie A - 816 goals for divided by 18 = 45.3 as an average
Premierleague - 1012 goals for divided by 20 = 51 as an average

last season the serie a only had 34 weeks and the epl had 38

therefore.......a lot more epl games and not a large difference in scoring


sorry im dragging this on, but the outlook people have about the serie a being defensive should try watching the games

 

[dannyeli]

Santino

 

[claupastore]

only 2.6 more goals each week

 

[santino]

so i guess now's a good time to toss out an:

and a rot in hell to yoss

yea like this other guy that said that he prefers the EPL because he gets more for his money.
how is watching a team attack and the other one just sit there and let the other team rape them in the ass fun??

i´d rather watch a team attack and the other one defend itself with everything they have
now thats fun alright!

It is an average; weeks don't go into consideration after he averaged the goals out per the teams.

Do it by weeks, it will just be divided by 2 again from the original number.

Now, I know you don't want to take on me So I will close the thread because this "Serie A vs EPL" is annoying, boring and just plain stupid.
