Bundesliga has had 5 different champions in the last 10 years. PL > 4. Seria A and La Liga > 3
.
Oh really?
3 of them have been managed by Felix Magath.
Truly one of our greatest visionary of our time.
For shizzle my nizzle
M'vila is shit anyway. wouldn't change the favour to his team. fyi: Falcao is injured as well.
Lol Seria A + Lol
* Translation: Also called League Zlatan
pulease. You don't even believe in what you're saying, let alone us.

Thing with the Bundesliga is that whilst it's unlikely anybody will challenge Bayern for the title in the near future, since they have compiled such a fantastic squad, it is possible for other teams to close the gap and improve themselves within the structure of the league.
In Spain, nobody is ever going to get close to winning the Liga apart from Madrid or Barca.
And in England, City and Chelsea are only in contention because of their owners.
Bundesliga sets clubs up on a reasonably level playing field, Bayern are well ahead for a combination of reasons but it's not out of the realms of possibility somebody else catches up. Dortmund managed it after a few years in the wilderness.

Fine the ligue 1 is bs, but Lucas Moura is better than Neymar.

Falcao is playing! Oh well, I've seen worse Rubin teams grind out results against decent opposition, like Barca and treble-winning Inter.
Right now he is. But Neymar has a bit more potential.

On paper Italy and Serie A is balanced and competitive.

Ok, you Bwin.
Yeah, thanks to the shitty Seria A league, German League is still safe, but it would be better to close that gap. Also, you have to keep in mind that the Portugese League might catch up soon if we don't become careful. They are way behind, but they have done so well in EL that I wouldn't be surprised if they hop along the table.
Norwegian League is still as irralevent as Liverpool
Nah man, I don't think Portugal will come anywhere near us. There are basically just two strong teams there (3 if Sporting L. didn't suck), we definitely have more opportunities and also greater opportunities to score in the Euro coefficient.
The "problem" is that it's always news teams coming up in the league, like Gladbach who almost got relegated in 10/11, but almost qualified for CL next season (lost in the qualifiers vs. Kiev) and now are playing EL.
Mainz, who got promoted not too long ago, almost played EL this last season.
Now Frankfurt is in course for CL (3/4th in the league) and they just got promoted, lol
There's just no clearly defined group of strong teams in Germany.

No Falcao and no Klose (shut up, he's one of my favorites).
Well, Tottenham v Lyon better not disappoint because I'm out of back-up matches.

We haven't won a game unexpectedly since we beat City in the CC semi last season. Its depressing coming to the realisation that we're better off compounding our status as the 7th best team in England before thinking about making a march upwards. 4th is absolutely lightyears away. There are too many teams waiting to take advantage for us to even begin to hope for a Villa 07/08 style battle
Different GOAT.
Balanced and competetive by being shit, that is.
our overlord Zeman have left the building

We would have been in the quarterfinals last year if we didn't have to play our reserve keeper against Benfica....
Was shocked reading this. The line up I checked said he didn't play but now that I checked again he does indeed play, I must have missed it. Guess I'll skip the Spurs - Lyon game then.

The cold air tickles the back of my throat as I slip my hands from my pockets. Looking around this arena, I think of my luminaries, the ones who visited the hallowed streets of this federal city before me. Tsar Peter the Great. Antonio Rinaldi. Ethan Hunt. Do they share the same passion for the culture as I? Do they ingratiate themselves with the locals? Share a vodka with the luminous blonde girl behind the counter? Do they attempt to do as I do and speak the dialect?
Myself in front of the Statue of Lenin
Leningrad's history breathes out of the cobbled path. I can hear the Nazi soldiers who fell here (note to self: must pick up Mein Kampf for team talk v Swansea) bleeding out, wishing their lives away. They will be grateful in hell, for they did not face the wrath of possession based horizontal football.

Milito injured, looks serious. Bye third place ;_;
Hehe, I thought you'd enjoy that reference. The Cowboys will always be one of the most popular teams in the NFL regardless of their performances. Their popularity is ubiquitous.

This is not fair as multiplying by zero makes the number zero
Isn't he 89 year old by now? If you guys are still relying on him, then you better forget that 3rd place anyway.
