Is there any one out there still claiming La liga is better than EPL ?

[Arian]

in my opinion, if you combined la liga and epl into 1 league (without liverpool, chelsea, united, arsenal, real, barca) an english team would win the league every season for sure.

bottom line, epl 2nd rate teams > laliga 2nd rate teams

plus, epl has 4 world powerhouses (liv, che, utd, ars) while laliga only has 2 (real,barca)

if Xerez plays Burnley, who is most likely to win..be honest ?
in EPL, Burnley beats UTD, Villa beats Liverpool in Anfield, Arsenal and City makes so much drama. and LOL at you saying teams hate each other more in Spain
look at those rivalries and try to match them
Pool v.s Utd
Utd vs. City
Pool vs. Everton
Chelsea vs. Pool
Chelsea vs. Spurs
Arsenal vs. UTD
Arsenal vs. Chelsea
Arsenal vs. Spurs
Villa vs. Birmingham
just to mention a few. and on other note if you had to choose La liga best XI vs. EPL best XI, there will be only 3 clubs in La Liga, where it would be 5 easily in EPL
La Liga:
-----------------Casillas----------
Alves----Puyol----Pique------Abidal
Messi----Xavi-----Iniesta---Kaka---
-----------Ronaldo---Villa---------
in EPL, however, it would be
-------------Given------------
Johnson---Terry---Vidic---Evra
Gerrard----Lampard-----Arshavin
Rooney-----Torres------Drogba
who do you think will win ???

how do you expect me to answer to all your random individual match-ups and scenarios lol?

in my opinion this would be best line up composed of la liga players:

-----------------Casillas----------
Alves----Puyol----Pique------capdevila
--------------------lass------------
--------------xavi------------------
-------------------kaka-------------
messi------------villa-----------iniesta

and this team will definitely beat the epl team you posted. first of all because the team you posted looks only good on paper and would definitely lose against a set of talented players playing in proper positions, let alone the la liga all star team. but even if you want to compare player by player the la liga one is better: best keeper in the world, best right back in the world, best defensive mid in the world, best attacking mid in the world, best striker in the world, and best player in the world lol.

yea but la liga has 4 consistently amazing teams outside real madrid and barca (atletico, sevilla, valencia, villareal) but aside from the top 4 epl cant be compared (well the couple of month old billionaire buy of citeh made city on valencia/villareal/sevilla/atleticos level i guess but thats just 1 team).

i think its not fair for people to say la liga only has 2 teams because they are too focused on the NAME of real madrid and barca.... but look at the la liga standings and you see the 3rd place team is not far behind in points.. sometimes real or barca being 3rd or even worse. but in epl the top 4 are usually clearly separated. and dont forget champions league where both valencia and villareal (epl champions man u couldnt even beat them, and arsenal won at home with 2 of villareals best players injured and adebayor miracle goal) were good in recent years. plus, you have to admit that epl teams do better in champions league (a knockout tournament, look who won the WC italy lol) because they play more defensive than spanish teams. and the top 4 epl teams have the same coach/playing style for years/decades while spanish teams get their whole coach and playing style changed almost yearly.

if arsenal is a world powerhouse, so is valencia

also yeah, if they combined i'm sure a english team would win. the same way barca beat the top two english teams in cl last year (the champions with 3/4 of their defense missing)

recently everton, aston villa and tottenham have been finishing in the 5th-8th spots and now man city is an emerging world powerhouse too so...

you might have a point for toure but lass would definitely fit in better in that formation than alonso.

[elnino99]

Lass Diara = Arsenal reject

EPL team will easily beat La Liga team.

Rooney, Drogba, Torres upfront
each have their own quality, not similar at all
will slaughter any defense

true but i doubt those teams are better than sevilla, atletico, valencia, and villareal because their point gap is higher against the top 4 compared to the 4 spanish teams against real and barca.

laliga only has 1 team make it past the last 16 in the CL for the last 5 years while 3-4 english teams have made it to the quaterfinals for the last 3 seasons

you have 2 center forwards and a support striker... how can they play in a 4-3-3 system?

we'll see at the end of this season.. cuz now we have man city and tottenham as emerging powerhouses

-------------Given------------
Johnson---Terry---Vidic---Evra
Gerrard----Lampard-----Arshavin
-----------Rooney-------------
------Torres------Drogba------

more like a 4-3-1-2
