La liga has players who play technicall football and that's what makes it so good to watch. Most of their goals are better quality than Prem. Messi would be a really big hit in the PL. He has developed strengths and can prove the doubters wrong. Even in Revista la liga on sky sports today they said Messi is the best in the world, knowing the fact Ronaldo has been crowned the best player in the world.

His balance is incredible and there is not one player in the world who can dribble with the ball under pressure and at speed like Messi can.
-----------
Correction - there has NEVER (in the entire history of football) been another player who can dribble so perfectly at that speed. Before Messi I would have said Maradona is the best dribbler ever, but what some people don't seem to realise is just how fast Messi is moving when he dribbles. He's one of the 2 or 3 fastest players in Spain, but with the ball always stuck to his foot rather than 6 yards ahead of him. And his drop of the shoulder is basically unreadable - it works about 95% of the time, even against top defenders.

The EPL may be the strongest and by that I mean teams have very strong, burly defenders but the standard of skill and technique outside the big 4 teams is awful. Everton V Hull on the weekend was just an abysmal game of (sorry I cant call it football)thuggary - the worst teams in La Liga play quality football regardless of where they are on the ladder.
When the World Cup comes around ask yourself this when did England last perform on the World Stage - answer never because the EPL standard is not a World standard technical leagues like Spain, Argentina, Italy and Germany prevail because these countries play far superior football based on skill not brute strength and physical prowess.
The EPL is on the whole poor but I grant you its exciting to watch (lots of goalmouth action but very little skill)

ok then smee (if that is your real name).
If Stoke kick, scratch and bite their way to a 1-0 win over a free-flowing man utd who cut them open at will but miss chance after chance. Has the best football won?
Once you go outside the top 6 in the premiership it is distinctly average. You know my beliefs any way but in my opinion La Liga has more strength in depth than the premiership.

depends on what you find entertaining about football..a purist would prefer la liga because of the technical side however for all round entertainment the prem is better, its alot more competitive (albeit only in the top 5 sides) over the course of the season but day to day any team can beat any other team.. hull vs arsenal for example

this is not to say the football overall is of better technical quality just that the prem has more edge-of-your-seat match to match entertainment, the media makes it a story (& in a bad way sometimes like a soap opera) but i guess im biased because i live in UK... i'd watch any good football match and would probably miss out on both bolton vs west brom and osasuna vs huelva

I watch both every weekend.The 2 leagues are completely different.This is primarily because the syle of refering is different pushed by the playing culture.In the premiership the games flow more as the referees play more advantage and this is accepted by the players.However in la liga the game stops more frequently as the referees do not play the advantage rule and when they try there is normally complaining from one of the teams.Interestingly most of my Spanish friends (alomg with the press and tv pundits here) believe that the premiership is far more exciting and open.However there is no doubt that apart from the top 5-6 teams in the premiership all of the teams in la liga are technically far superior to the premiership teams.However that does not mean that they will be succesful and vice versa.At the end there are 12-14 top teams in Europe who would be succesful in whatever league they played in and quite honestly anyone with any knowledge of football could name them.

Poor Messi could only watch as the ball flew into his own net.

foreverunited2008 (U11033854), that was a good reply

Personally from experience I think La Liga is more entertaining, I feel teams attack more no matter what position they are in the table as opposed to Premier League lower teams who employ "park the bus" tatics.

However this NikosBg fellow is just an irritant, I think there are a lot of arrogant "Premier League is the best ever league" fans around but this guy is just as bad as the people he criticises, and unwilling to ever give credit to the Premier League or any of its teams or players.
