peener weener Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) that's true, for most of my life the argentine first division was mostly dominated by the presence of boca juniors and river plate. not even remotely entirely, though, as there were other champions and strong teams. so it was somewhat lopsided but never to the extent of the big european leagues. now those are kind of shit and pretty much anyone can have a decent run at the title. clubs like velez sarsfield, newell's old boys, estudiantes, etc. were strong before, but are top dogs now. edit: that's actually a lie, river plate are once again pretty strong. but they got relegated for one year.

Tryhard Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Always found them overrated. possibly because they are fat and shit opwhile this is probably true to a degree, their ability to underperform is also quite astounding considering some of the quality that they do possess. not like best in the world or even close but they should do better than what they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's thanks to Cristina, they revamped the broadcasting rights and evened the money distribution in the Argentinian league. It made the top teams weaker, so they have a harder time in Libertadores, but the league became much more interesting. In Brazil Flamengo and Corinthians get the most money and the other teams get progressively less. It's not a good recipe for fairer competition. Still, Flamengo has so much debt that they perennially suck. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even so, Brasileirão manages to be a very balanced competition, even though it is "nivelada por baixo". Goias and Cape last year did quite respectable campaigns, and Sport this year had a very good start. I thought that Riquelme had retired for good? i can't really blame you for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passionfruit Cappuccino Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 James Rodriguez moves to Real Madrid for 81 million euros.... HOW MUCH FUCKING MONEY DO YOU WANT TO SPEND???? Now Real's team shall be even moar OP than before, so long as they don't sell Di Maria. I cant believe that the royal family gives them money to spend for this...

Parrhesia Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Real Madrid is the biggest club in the world by a staggering margin in everything except, I think, in 'plastic Asian fans'. That market's well and truly cornered by Manchester United. The point I forgot to make was that they're going to spend a shitton for their precious Galacticos and it won't necessarily translate into victory; see, this past season.

La Decima and a Copa Del Rey. Doesn't sound too bad for me, considering they were aiming for that tenth UCL trophy for more than a decade. The Mourinho period was a flop, tho. One domestic league and a domestic cup in like 3 years, with a OP squad? Shit. Them original galaticos were the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
