Guest Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Just now, Daedalus said: Believe it or not, I did read it all, and it's clear that you two just see things differently when it comes to the Bundesliga. You would think after numerous people call you out on your insults you might soon realize that maybe the person at fault is in fact...you. But alas I digress. I don't insult anyone except the ones that have done enough to piss me off - stop blinding yourself. And no, you didn't read the other threads. Just now, Daedalus said: To be back on topic - Is the point to win the CL every year when you are a massive club like Bayern? Sure. But there is a reason only 1 team has won it 2 years consecutively, and that team isn't Barcelona, which has been one of the most dominate teams Europe has seen ever. The point I'm making is that it's so hard to win the CL, so I don't see how getting to the Semis every year is a disappointing thing. Its not an idiotic thing, but I'm not an idiot for thinking Serie A is a better league when their top club has made the finals twice in the last 4 years in comparison to Germany's top club Bayern who hasn't.

I didn't say you were idoitic. But neither is @Viva la FCB for saying the opposite. Or @nudge for saying the attractiveness of a league is about the fans and the style of play. That's the point in all this...it's a debate. If you can't debate a topic and at least pretend to see the other's point of view, then you what's the point??

Your problem as well as FCB's is that you're both blinded and insult or make fun of me instead of debate something. The day you realize this and apologize is when I'll have a proper debate with one of you 2. Example: Making fun of Peru or saying I'm outlandish for thinking X league is better than Y. Its the big reason why I can't take either of you seriously. Edited January 24, 2018 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as someone who loves Serie A. I still put the Bundesliga ahead. Germany is better off financially, which doesn't seem like a major deal until you look at all the absolute crap stadiums that are falling apart in Italy (except Juventus), and the lack of pure infrastructure. The football gets overly defensive at times, but the major selling points right now in the league is the fact that we are the only one of the 'big' leagues in Europe which still have a title race on.

The teams are better and the style of play is subjective. I'd rather watch Napoli than BVB, and I'd wager the mid-level teams in Italy like Sassuolo and Fiorentina are better than Werder and Wolsburg. The Italian league is fantastic and I don't understand this bizarre groupthink of ultradefensive football. Sachi and Herrera don't coach anymore. Stadia and attendance is irrelevent.

Well I'm not shocked you'd rather watch the team at the top of the table in Serie A against the team currently in 6th in Germany. If you are doing that comparison - Napoli vs Bayern Juventus vs Bayer Leverkusen Schalke vs Lazio Inter Milan vs Leipzig .... Bayern and Juve would both win, but I'm not sure about the rests of those. And stadiums, infrastructure and attendance do matter to me. Which is why I like the Bundesliga setup and commitment more than what is currently happening in Italy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were a betting man, I'd definitely put my money on Lazio. but I'd also put my money on RB over Inter. Again, I understand you and @Spike don't think attendance and stadiums matter, but I do when I consider the league as a whole. And you keep bringing up Argentina in terms of attendance, but don't mention the stadium situation in Argentina compared to that of Italy and Germany. I have never been to an Argentine game, but I've been to one in the Bundesliga, and I've been to the San Siro a few times, there is a massive difference between them.

It's fine if it matters to you, and that definitely matters in league structure but standard has to do with the football played and not the crowds. I agree with you on Leipzig though. They are better than Inter IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the only interesting match up. Sure those German clubs are high on the table but the discrepency between 1st and those clubs puts Bayern ahead into a different stratosphere. 16 points seperates 1st and 2nd while 16 points seperates 2nd and 17th. Everything after Bayern may as well be called 2.Bundesliga because while they be competitive with eachother, tehy aren't very good teams. Juve would smash Bayer. Lazio would beat Schalke. Inter should beat Leipzig but it depends on Perisic and Icardi. It matters literally nothing from a competitiveness viewpoint. We may as throw in other arbitrary things like sponsorships, shared revenue, TV rights, and owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
