Well, this draw a priori pretty much impedes an all La Liga final.

Selfishly speaking, Real were best off drawing Chelsea, and hoping Atlético went through.

Atléti can beat Bayern, and I think that´s a great match up.

Just reviewed Zonal Marking, good to see they review some matches which aren´t prem matches.

Linked me over to an Atléti article, wherein I found this post:

quote:

Without money the PL would be a backwater league. That shite league doesn’t add anything new to the game, no tactical innovations or no producing their own World Class players.Teams like Chelsea can spend £1 Billion over a decade and still fail to produce top quality football.It’s just a money league which the ignorant masses flock to because they are susceptible to advertisement and hype. Even now, with the increasing wealth most games are still headless-chicken style matches, shite on a stick stuff. I get irritated after 10 minutes and turn it off.

Can't we just accept the leagues all have some good and bad about them - and every fan can choose the one he or she likes the most? I don't get the reason for dogging other leagues just for the sake of it.

The Prem's exposure makes soccer better globally. If La Liga, Serie A or the Bundesliga are all bent out of shape over it, then go get better TV contracts, market to a market audience or find more billionaires to flood your league. It reeks of a Napoleon complex.

I didn´t write that, I simply cut and pasted from Zonal Marking. I found it amusing.

I know, I'm just surprised that opinions like that are so strong (regardless of who has them). I guess that's sports for ya
