My new most hated player: Gastaldello. He was shameful today.
This post was made after the Markus Rosenberg goal, btw.
dimo;2924454 said:Haha. sure bro. There's diving in every league. And the atmosphere in the BL? Haha...it would put anyone to sleep.
You can have the 4th CL place. It's only because no one give two ****s about the European Cup\EL...How that decides CL spots, i'll never understand
Milan 2005
Milan 2007
Inter 2009
When was the last time a German team won? It won't ever happen again. You can take that to the bank:sKIp_E:
I was going to say Steven Gerrard, but then I remembered he's a Mediterranean South American ...ShiftyPowers;2924481 said:1) No there isn't diving and play acting in every league. I think it's a great crime that us fans have been duped into the "oh, everyone does it!" attitude. No, not everyone does it. You know who does it? Mediterranean and South American countries. That's it. There's sportsmanship in other nations.
more goals = better quality of football? give me a break ...ShiftyPowers;2924481 said:2) Every single season the Bundesliga has the most goals per game than any other major league in Europe. Serie A is consistently 4th, outscoring only France.
Xifio;2924483 said:I agree that German football is on the rise, but not because the scoreline today shows that Bremen overcame Samp ...
sometimes it is necessary to state the obvious ... and considering how this result could unfortunately have far-reaching repercussions in the coefficients table, this was one of those times ...ShiftyPowers;2924529 said:Duh.
yeah, but he dives ... so 'Mediterranean and South America, that's it' is already out the window ... plus, I was watching Sky Sports News, and saw the Rangers keeper Alan McGregor (?) grab his face when he had barely been touched this past weekend ... your theory of regional absolutes is bilge; get over it ...ShiftyPowers;2924529 said:EDIT: And I have NEVER seen Gerrard grab his face and squirm on the ground trying to get someone sent off even though he wasn't touched. I've never seen him carted off on a stretcher to waste time either.

ShiftyPowers;2924481 said:3) I agree that the UEFA Cup or Euro League or whatever should not have as much say on the coefficients, but it does matter a lot to the teams who participate, and it's a good way to see the depth of leagues.
ShiftyPowers;2924481 said:4) The last time a German team won was 2001, there was also a German team in the Final this year in case you forgot.
ShiftyPowers;2924481 said:5) The financial tides of football are changing. Italian, Spanish, and English clubs have traditionally been financed by debt, and as a result clubs go bankrupt relatively frequently; in Germany the clubs only spend what they make, which in the ridiculously inflated 2000s kept the clubs out of contention in Europe. Well, now with the financial meltdown the debt heavy clubs are rethinking their strategy and spending a hell of a lot less money which means that there is a lot more money in Germany now relative to the rest of the top leagues than there used to be. If the Bundesliga isn't back yet, it will be VERY soon. It also has to do with the German economy, which despite having to bail out the rest of the EU is doing relatively well, and can raise revenue from the increasing prosperity of its fans. The fans in Italy and Spain are much less prosperous than they were 8 years ago, and it is going to start to make a major impact on the pitch.
