It sickens me that forwards are only rated on how many goals they score instead of more important stats like passes and possession stats.

Because you don't win football games by having the most passes and possessions?

I thought everyone who actually know anything about football by now would realise that the champions league is the true marker of how great a player is and not some international tournament dominated by ~8 teams.

Neymar plays for Barca so him winning the World Cup can only be a good thing for Barca imo.

Yeah it's like how Torres, after winning Euro 2012 and the Golden Ball, promptly led Chelsea to champions league glory by getting knocked out of the group stages. And then they lost to Corinthians.

Can somebody who follows Rayo tell me if Rochina has looked any good?

Can't speak about Rochina specifically, but Rayo this year are conducting an interesting experiment on what happens if you try tiki-taka with mediocre players (they have 59% possession this season)

Results: You still end up in and around the relegation zone while conceding some hilarious goals in the process

You are always guarenteed a competitive match when a team with a smaller turnover than some clubs in the english third tier is away to a team who are willing to spend 117m on a player they don't even want.

That explains it. Big win for Barcelona, "Siete a Ciero", love it, keeps the Madrid teams on alert not to lose any more points, will Neymar start against Real next week? Who knows, €100 million players aren't what they used to be.

I love all leagues equally like a father loves all his children. Sure, La Liga has its flaws (awful and unfair TV deal, two club league, crappy defending, bad football from 80% of the teams, laughable media etc) but it also has its own qualities you can find nowhere else, like having the 2013 Ballon d'Or and best player in the world Cristiano Ronaldo embellishing every match in which he deigns to make an appearance. Hopefully I, and all the other impassioned fans who watch the league and post in this thread, can contribute to diminishing these crippling flaws so one day we can all be proud to call La Liga - our home.

Something is definitely amiss...I'm not sure what it is, but for some reason the number 117 keeps popping into my head.

It pleases me that JPL cloggers like Bacca and Perbet get more goals in than Neymar.
