logica: Apparently he CRAWLED into the Spanish squad because he has no place in the 1st eleven so long as Xavi, Iniesta and Alonso remain alive and fit.

He was very vital for Spain in last Euro cup. And he has many years more.

We are talking about those there currently. I can also give you several from years back like Ivan Campo, Robinho, etc

Meanwhile guys like Alonso, DelHorno all came from La Liga to EPL

YOUR BEST DEFENDER Gerard Piqué i Bernabeu came to manu to learn lol

A product of Barça's cantera, he initially left the club for Manchester United in 2004, where he remained for four years,

So are you saying that minus the 17 goals he got assisted, he will just collect the ball from an opponent and go straight and score? So he doesnt get ANY pass from a team mate even if it is from his own half? Dont you know that even if it is Valdes that gave him a pass from his post and he took it from there to the opponents post and score, Valdes gets the assist? Did you start watching football yesterday?
You are a m0r0n of unbelievable proportions. Have you ever seen a Valdes assist? Check Valdes stats and tell me how many assists he had last season. Not every goal is classified as "assisted". Apparently you are the one who just started watching football.

And yes, many of the goals came from "steals" where he dispossessed an opponent. Give it up already.

Keep enjoying the mediocre matches and leave La Liga fans to enjoy theirs too. I am sure it was EPL fans who first attacked La Liga claiming messi wont perform in EPL

A bore to watch? Go and watch how Bilbao destroyed the EPL perennial champions last season

logica: And who asked them to lose a man? Was it Barca that forced their players to play rough and see red? Do you know how football works? So if I give you pressure and you lose your head and get a red card whose business is that? All these silly nonsense propagated by Mourinho and repeated by his fan of zombies.

Pressure? Like Drogba's red card at Camp Nou in 2004? Or Robben's red card in Stamford Bridge in 2006? Watch these matches again and tell me if they deserve red cards...
Re: Lionel Messi Wins Ballon D'or Award by raffite: 9:56pm On Jan 07, 2013
As for those arguing quality between EPL and LaLiga, I think this FIFA PRO XI tells the whole story.

2012 FIFA PRO XI:

Iker Casillas (Real Madrid);
Dani Alves (Barcelona), Gerard Pique (Barcelona), Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid), Marcelo (Real Madrid);
Xabi Alonso (Real Madrid), Xavi Hernandez (Barcelona), Andres Iniesta (Barcelona);
Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Radamel Falcao (Atletico Madrid), Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid).

Yes,yes,yes...better football is played in La liga compared to EpL,buh what is the essence of a league that has little or no competition.attendance is zero..most times,when I watch highlights of la liga matches,I get disappointed.u can hardly have an attendance of 5,000 in matches between the lower la liga teams.dat means even their fans aren't interested in watching them.hardly would u find a viewing centre(in nigeria) dat will show a la liga match not involving the giant 2.truth be told,la liga is boring.oh,lest I forget,messi is the greatest player ever.messi till 2016

How does this answer my question

Whats the biggest scoreline in La Liga this season and whats the biggest scoreline in EPL this season

The biggest scoreline in EPL this season is 8-0

Whats La Ligas to know the more useless league
Re: Lionel Messi Wins Ballon D'or Award by 1025: 9:59pm On Jan 07, 2013
whether he played well or not, he will win. in 2010, messi and barca had nothing to show for the year. argentina made no impact in the world cup yet he won what more this time. it is a shame that even in 2010, barca presented the 3 best players in messi, xavi and iniester yet they won nothing. this year, they have messi and iniester and they won nothing so how come teams with no players in the top ten won the champions league and domestic leagues respectively?
i am yet to know the basis for winning this award. in 2006, canavaro who played as a defender won it and now messi who scored millions of goals won it.
can someone pls explain this award to me.

Like I said earlier most EPL fans dont know anything about football, I cant count how many goofs I have corrected in the last 1 hour

Robben didnt get a red card vs Barca in Stamford bridge go and check your records

And Have you watched how Abidal got a red card vs Chelsea in 2009 CL

If you are abreast of world events, you would know Spain is in a recession. Could that have affected attendance? Think about it.

I see no point in arguing with someone who cant keep insults out of his comments. If you dont see the "even if" in my post and discern that the Valdes example there is just what it is - an example, then I dont have anything else to say to you. Thank you.

Arguing? You can argue when you have a point; not when you want to expose your ignorance and at the same time want to appear like you know anything. So who just started watching football? You or me?

Technicallty yes and technically no

In 90 mins the game was 11 vs 11 and in extra time Chelseas Celestine Babayaro bagged a red card for a tackle from behind on Luis Figo(iirc)which resulted in a penalty which Rivaldo missed
