Kind of impressed by Hull, especially Brady. I don't know if they really have a goal scorer though

beware. that was mo bunkering and letting them look better than they are

Bunkering is a bit much. They definitely slowed the tempo down and were content to let Hull have more possession.
When I say I'm impressed it's mainly about expectations. They were a Championship side I knew nothing about, and at least they seem to have some players that are comfortable on the ball and fairly skilled (Brady, Koren, Huddlestone, although everyone knew about him).
They look a notch above Crystal Palace ability wise. I haven't seen Cardiff. But they still could have problems scoring goals.

frick, even by Messi's standards this is pretty impressive 
Posted on 8/18/13 at 12:28 pm to LSUSOBEAST1
I think that Levante might disband after this game

you're right. it was harsh
i do like huddlestone. i think he could help out some mid-ish type teams. he just didn't fit under AvB

5-0, Messi PK

So the EPL thread turned into a Barcelona massacre. On Fox Soccer News about a week or so ago the panel was talking about La Liga and said that Barca and RM get half of the tv revenue. I know internationally those two teams are the main draw but the product on the pitch is really shitty when other teams can't complete. It isn't even really worth it watching the big 2 unless they are in Champions League play.

AvB fricked him. I completely agreed with all of Huddlestone's bitter comments about not getting a fair shake. He worked his arse off for nothing. I'm really going to be pulling for Hull to stay up (not likely) because of him and his three year deal. Although, it wouldn't surprise me if he has a release clause for relegation.

the product on the pitch
This year is very much a tell tale year, as many have held an offseason fire sale.
Levante looks relegation bound, BTW.

The Spanish league in general is pretty tough to get into. I probably watch 60-70% of Barça and Madrid matches, but have zero interest in any other club outside of Atletico, who I barely follow as is.
The problem is the league is run pretty terribly, as are half of the actual clubs. Not to mention the country's financial situation is not good.

Yea I struggle with the talent gap at times. It really is pretty massive.
