Sevilla that knocked out Man Utd last season and beat Liverpool two years ago in Europa league final. Let's not forget that they won it three times in a row in front of the likes of totenham, everton, Liverpool....face it... the technical aspect of the epl is overrated
We live in the present, are you willing to put your money on Sevilla against Arsenal or Chelsea this season? What about Valencia against Arsenal or Chelsea? Top 6 vs Top 6 are you confident the EPL won't win 3 of those contest?

The last 2 European finals Liverpool have played, they've lost to Spanish teams. Sevilla in the Europa league final of 2016 and Madrid earlier in the year. So yes, I'd bet on the top 4 in Spain to beat the top 100 in England and smile to the bank. English teams are no where near their Spanish counterparts. It's time you pour some cold water on yourself and get rid of your colonial hangover
Liverpool in 2016 was not technically sound but this is about Top6 not top4. We live in the present, are you willing to put your money on Sevilla against Arsenal or Chelsea this season? What about Valencia against Arsenal or Chelsea? Top 6 vs Top 6 are you confident the EPL won't win 3 of those contest?

You have said it all, technically / tactically the EPl is inferior to Spanish, Italian and Bundesliga.. The English are like Nigerians, they can hype even rubbish..

Typical nigerians without fact to back up their shyt..Liverpool dumped roma last season..a struggling arsenal beat ac Milan home and away last season...epl has been on a slump for a while which is true, life na turn by turn..there was a time the epl was having atleast 2 teams in the semis of the champions league..
2005-liverpool were winners
2006-arsenal were finalist
2007-liverpool were finalist
2008-chelsea and manU were finalist
2009-manU were finalist
2010- was a poor showing
2011- manU were finalist
2012- Chelsea were winners

From then on they have been on a slump...Liverpool still were finalist last season..count the consecutive years they reached finals..to you lots football started 5 years ago abi? If anything the epl have been underperforming for a while..the hype is justified because when they get their shyt right they are potential league winners..

that's because the greatest players simply don't go to England. EPL has only produced balon dor once (in 2008). LA Liga has produced the balon dor for the last 10 years. Ronaldo never played in England, ronaldinho, zidane, Iniesta, Gattuso, Del Piero, Neymar. These players can only play in EPL when they are just starting their career or when they just want to go and make money not because they want to play the highest level of football. Man City are unbeatable in EPL, they would struggle against Atletico Madrid and suffer in the hands of Bayern, Barça, madrid
Beemhan:
Yes, there is no way a player can score those ridiculous number of goals in England you know why? Because just before such players reach those heights, they upgrade to the league that matches their talents; La liga - Ronaldo, Suarez, Coutinhuo....should I continue?
Ever wondered why the brightest footballers in the game want to play in Spain? I bet not grin

nope. that's because Madrid and barca would pay a fortune to BUY such players. and its at the expense of every other clubs in their league. As well as juve and Bayern perform, do they ever get a shout at the balon'dor?
mbappe and neymar would score goals in his farmers French league and win balon d'or and y'all say French league is better.
if city's team were to be in the liga they would be doing better by now.

People make decisions present events based on past events. Even if a computer was to predict this season, the data gotten from the last 5 seasons will be used as a basis now. So yes, based on the consistency of the Spanish teams at beating English teams over the past 5 seasons, I can bet on them to do it again. That's it

Lol. why are you trying to filter the ranges you want to suit your agenda. Let me do exactly as you did.
Since the start of the century, English clubs have carried UCL three times. While Spanish clubs have carried it 10 times. That is 10/18 while epl is 3/18. Since 2000-2018, only 3 times says alot

that's a lie. Barça would never buy Pogba from juventus for £100 million pounds. How much has Madrid spent in the last three years, Barça only spent outrageously recently because they received a lot of money from PSG for Neymar and other clubs wanted a piece of that money. Cristiano for example chose not to go back to Manchester United when they had the money to buy him because of the quality of players there. The clubs in Spain also produce most of their stars themselves. E.g. Barça didn't spend a dime on Messi.

1. If we're talking about spending FORTUNES to buy players, then we should be talking about the EPL. It's the league with the most money bro....remember how much Abramovich spent to bring Chelsea to where they are are today. What about the monies Man United have been spending in the post Ferguson era or the ones Liverpool have been spending lately. I don't even want to mention the baba of them all; Man city.

If you think the likes of Man U and Liverpool sold Ronaldo and Coutinho respectively, because they needed Madrid's and Barça's 'FORTUNES' then I'm afraid to say, your mind is still enslaved by the chains of colonialism.
Also, if you think the above mentioned players went to Spain so they can get more money, then I must say that your case is very serious.

2. Seriously, Mbappe and Neymar would win the Ballon d'or in the French league? huh embarassed Can that ever happen? You need to pull your head outta your a.ss bro. You sound like a donkey right now.

3. Man City would do better in LA Liga than they're doing in the EPL? grin Pep won the league with a 19 point gap last season. Man city is top as we speak and from all indications, they'll most likely retain the title. So WTF do you mean when you say they'd do better in la Liga. Have you checked City's record against Spanish teams or you just feel like talking?

All these dimwitted EPL fan boys that have been brainwashed by the British media will just be coming here to spew gibberish. That's how they said Guardiola wasn't shii because he was winning trophies in La liga and Bundesliga which they called 'easy leagues.'
He's come to the epl now and won the league with a record number of points. He established a 19 point gap over the team closest to city in the standings at the end of last season, something he couldn't do in the so-called 'easy leagues', and his team will most likely win the league this season. You won't hear the fan boys retract their statements now oh. You won't see goal.com write an article about how good Guardiola is and how he has come to show them how football is done in Spain. No, you want see that because he's not british.

Get tf outta here with your lame arguments bro and return when you have sense undecided
Re: "English Premier League Overrated" - Zlatan Ibrahimovic by Nobody: 2:22pm On Nov 06, 2018
This guy is getting it wrong; the league is said to be the toughest, and hence the best. Not the most technical.

Sevilla beat Liverpool in 2016, will you put your money that they can do it in 2018? Tottenham beat Madrid in the past but I'm not puting my money that they can do it this year. I'm strictly focused on the present can the top 6 Laliga teams from last year defeat the top6 Premiership teams from last year. I see 3 wins for each side and on a good day 4 wins for Premiership.

Barcelona vs Man city
Athletico Madrid vs Man U
Real Madrid vs Tottenham
Valencia vs Liverpool
Villareal vs Chelsea
Betis vs Arsenal

He's right u knw. watch the german bundesliga and see how goals were scored, teams like stuttgart and frankfurt scored amazing counter attack goals last season.

you and who is talking about top 6? When did we make that agreement to talk about top 6? Uncle please speak for yourself.

Liverpool was not TECHNICALLY SOUND then? What does that even meanhuh grin grin You dey look for excuse? I guess they were not TECHNICALLY SOUND too when Madrid beat them? grin Or do you have a better EXCUSE in that case?? Your argument is very laughable bro... You should consider Stand up comedy. I swear you go blow! grin >: grin

And yes, in a match between Sevilla and Arsenal or Seville and Tottenham, I'll put my money on Sevilla just like I put my money on Sevilla when they knocked out Man United in last season's Champions League grin
I'll also put my money on ATM to beat Chelsea and Liverpool. Do you want me to bring in Madrid or BARCELONA into the picture too? grin grin grin grin I'm sure you don't want it. EPL NO REACH LA LIGA BRO.

The facts speak for themselves. The top 4 teams in Spain and the top 4 teams in England play in the champions league and SPAIN RULES.
Teams placed 5th to7th in both leagues also play in the Europa league and SPAIN STILL RULES. Check the head to head records between both leagues, SPAIN RULES.

The only thing EPL has on La liga is money and and a bigger market. But when it comes to playing the football on the pitch, EPL no follow...argue with your middle finger. tongue

Hahahaha...No need to argue then, just go back to my initial post which you quoted and see my statement was based on top6 vs top6. Any other argument is irrelevant and not worthy of discussing!
