💬Discussion Early Relegation Battle Signs

2 Upvotes

Early days but by the looks of it so far, Elche and Oviedo are staying up! Elche have been brilliant, they hold the ball so well. Don’t panic, use possession to defend unlike other teams in the bottom of the league. Oviedo have shown that they have a fight about them. Happy for both teams ❤️

Yes, they are horrible to play against. Yes, they are full of crappy antics.. And yes, everyone hates them but they take that as a badge of honor. They bring something different to the table in the league. And Pepe Bordalas, what is there to say.. Not fun, but admirable..

💬Discussion Tebas Has Destroyed La Liga

512 Upvotes

Tebas has destroyed La Liga. At the peak of Spanish football, when Real Madrid and Barcelona were dominating the Champions League, Atlético Madrid was winning the Europa League, and Sevilla was dominating that competition, he failed to leverage that momentum to create a valid league with real internal balance.

Unlike La Liga, the Premier League's distribution of money allows newly promoted teams to buy players and offer salaries that others can't afford. Under the guise of protecting clubs from bankruptcy, Tebas has ensured that La Liga remains a two-horse race, which is boring for spectators. It also forces mid-tier teams, as soon as they improve, to sell their best players without being able to truly build a team that can improve its status.

If you want what's best for your league, you want the level of play to always increase and for the title race to always be interesting. You should want your best teams to feel threatened by potential new contenders, but Tebas has thought differently. He wants to ensure that the two teams that bring in the most money are always competing for the title, and the rest don't matter. La Liga is seeing its level of competition decline.

Question respecting second yellow

8 Upvotes

Hi,

  1. If someone gets a yellow when he is still sitting on the bench before getting subbed on, and gets another yellow when he has been subbed on, does that equal a red card?
  2. What if he is a player-manager and the first yellow was received in a managerial capacity?

Thanks.

Is Cocu or Hierro better

0 Upvotes

Both are club legends/captains in similar eras. Cocu's position may be a bit further up the pitch but Hierro can take free kicks so he isn't completely useless going forward either.

Bijection between rival clubs in Argentina and Spain

0 Upvotes

Hi, can one say that River Plate maps onto Real Madrid in that they are both relatively upper class/Establishment, while Boca Juniors maps onto Barcelona in that they are both relatively grassroots? I note that River Plate seems more of a pipeline for Real Madrid (Di Stefano, Redondo) while Boca Juniors seems more of a pipeline for Barcelona (Maradona, Riquelme). Not sure if that's statistically true though.

Two additional questions:

  1. Does this correspondence apply to football styles (not just fan base/culture)?

  2. Does River Plate have more links to the Spanish monarchy than Boca Junior does? Or is there no difference because both clubs were founded long after Spain got out of South America?

We also discuss the latest on Sørloth's future, Baena's injury setback, and preview Matchday 2 against Elche, including tactical battles, line-up expectations, and what Atlético must fix Was the defeat against Espanyol just an opening-day stumble, or an early warning sign for Atleti's season

💬Discussion Getting into La Liga

15 Upvotes

Hi, I've been seeing a lot of La Liga content lately and was thinking about getting into it. Got a few questions.

  1. What is the best way to watch matches from the UK? I remember seeing something about Disney getting broadcast rights I think?

  2. What is a good team to support (not Real Madrid or Barca)? Slightly drawn to Real Sociedad as they are my 'local' team haha. What are they like as a club?

  3. How does the season differ to English football? I know about the league and Copa del Rey but are there any other competitions or major differences in how the league works?

Thanks for any advice you can give.
