Really? Because I'd equate the game I watched the other day (and all other games I've watched Barcelona play where they complete 5x as many passes as the other team and spend 75% of their time in the opponents half of the field) to a high school team playing a middle school team. Gerard Pique the CB for Barcelona probably had more passes and touches than any Real Madrid player. That's just a sad way to compete. At least go out there and defend, body somebody off the ball...do SOMETHING besides waiting.
At least the EPL is a physical game for MEN. Even in the worst contest, they at least go out there and play like guys, not fairies. This La Liga crap looks like little boys playing slap and tickle with each other. Even the worst EPL team has people that go out there and don't take it from a whimpy group of Spaniards.
and this is mourinhos tactics, a coach that made a name for himself in epl.
no even capello ever played as defensive as mou in madrid, that is just againts barcelona, and only bc mourinho has won champions league twice is the only reason he hasnt been sacked yet.
yes barcelona players are divers, sp busquet, biggest wussies ever.
again, when players are technically terrible, they play "tough," there is not point of doing dumb-wreckless tackles when you are technically gifted.
even to tackle there is a skill to it... at least a few teams in mls and ncaa (akron, michigan and santa barbara) are trying to put the ball down but for the most part, long ball soccer still sucks, puts me to sleep.
