Spanish football 2014/2015

Ronaldo generally gets better nearing the Ballon d'Or months.

Mirth

Bit pointless if he does since March - April are the key months.

crazy. I believe he has caught up with ronaldo's hat tricks too? Plus I haven't watched madrid much but I've read in various places that ronaldo has gone to shit except for his goals, hard to imagine but is that true?

No, not true. He was good in 2014, and had plenty of assists too. He has changed his game though, from "a scorer of great goals" to a great goalscorer. More goals, more tap-ins. In 2015 he has turned to shit, but not "except for his goals". He's scoring very few goals at the moment.

And yeah, Messi passed Ronaldo on the hattrick list. Messi 24 league hattricks (32 total), Ronaldo 23 league hattricks.

Claudius

it's too easy to get a hat trick in this joke league.

Rex

Those guys, in their teams, would score similarly in England I reckon.

goon

Similarly perhaps, but still less.

Campbell started again for Villareal. Plays on the right tonight.

jones

I reckon Messi would score even more in an ADHD paced joke league like the EPL.

Atlético - Valencia on now, looking to be a terrific match.

QuincyAbeyie

He would probably score less, but because of the PL using goal difference instead of head-to-head. In Spain, since goal difference doesn't matter, the bottom teams don't really have any reason to fight back once they're under by two to three goals.

My point is, he would not score less because the PL is better. It's really not that good.

Ray

Messi's hat trick today was against the type of defending you expect in a charity match.

Claudius

...as are most of them.

Otamendi looks to be the best purchase in Europe this season, 10m and he looks worth double or triple that.

Bit envious watching this match, never mind Barcelona or Real, Atlético and Valencia would be challenging for the title in England.

His performance vs. Real was incredible. I remember he caught up to Bale and tackled him last minute and scored a goal.

Clrnc

It's ridiculous he wasn't called up to the world cup

jones

Bad decision from Sabella, but to be fair to him Otamendi was nowhere near his level before the WC, he lost his starting place at Porto and was even loaned out to Atlético Mineiro. Don't think many have expected him to explode like this.

QuincyAbeyie

He also scored with a diving header from a corner. 😆

Klaus

Leading goalscorer in Europe now too, despite the huge advantage Ronaldo was working up at the beginning of the season.

arsedocmd

apparently ronaldo was being a little bitch today.

Rex

Isn't he always?

QuincyAbeyie

Getting mad when Bale scored because he didn't get the goal himself was a little over the top, even for him. 😆
