To be honest, living in the UK, I am just so glad that the Premiership is one of the best sporting competitions in the world, no question. The English league is of such good quality now, I only think La Liga is as good/better.

I totally agree.

Even Serie A doesn't quite compare to the English League. And I rate German Bundesliga a bit higher than Serie A but my judgement is based on the leading clubs. Unfortunately, I get almost no broadcast of La Liga. :(

Bundesliga is an excellent league. I actually live in Wales and we have a Welsh language program called Sgorio which broadcasts highlights from every Serie A, La Liga and Bundesliga game every Monday, its great:DThey dont even get that much coverage in England.

You're right Serie A is not what it used to be, Manchester United's dominance of Juventus and Arsenal's impressive away performance in Rome being examples of this.

Maybe I should move to Wales. :)

We'll see, we'll see :) as I stated earlier, they're not only a team of bought superstars like Real.

Really? :p

I credit Man U as a better team, but Real Madrid will be a very tough battle. I agree that they got way too many star players, though. It's ridiculous.

FIGO! FIGO! FIGO! FIGO!

I like Man Utd but this time they're going to lose to the current best football team in the world: Real Madrid.

Any team that has players with the like of FIGO, Ronaldo, Raul, Roberto Carlos and Zidane is always the favourite :)

You remember the WC2002? As soon as he gets touched a little bit, he starts running to the ref.

I'm sorry but you sound a bit confused I didn't see any instance where Figo raced to the referee in World Cup 2002.

You must be confusing him for João Vieira Pinto or some other Portuguese player.

or also in the Champions League. If I would have some recorded games, I had proof. He's a whiny lil' b!tch, period.

So? Filippo Inzaghi is also a whiny lil' b!tch, although he's one of the top scorer in the Champions League.

I agree with that call, I personally don't like Pippo Inzaghi, but you are wrong in calling Figo a whiny lil bitch.

for the sheer ammount of fouls he suffers game in, game out I think that Figo is one of the calmest football players I have ever seen.

Are we really talking about the same Figo? OK, we gonna see it when they play against Man U :)

Did you actually see any of their qualifying games? Under achieving. Struggling in Moscow is poor by anyone's standards. Just because they have names doesn't make them THAT great a team.

Have you seen the footage when Real Madrid went to play in Camp Nou (against Barcelona) after Figo moved from Barça to Real?

He was probably the calmest player in the field.
