Champions League 22-23 (18 Viewers)

[David O'Day]

No but I think Brentford are a decent side that would hold own Vs teams from other leagues

For me serie a top 8 are all good teams on the up right now. It's exciting for Calcio fans

I get your point about lower half but like I said I don't think spezia or Verona are worse than relegation fighting teams in Spain Germany or France either.

Leeds beat Liverpool didn't they? They are still an awful basketcase of a team

But they would prob finish ahead of cov right now too?

We can't just say we are better than teams above us lol

Would they? They don't tools a long time ago.

Also the point is you can't judge the quality of a league by 1 freak result

I gave more reasons for that as to why serie a is on the up

Nothing to suggest cov could finish lower midtable in any league above the championship other than someones opinion because they have seen relegation fighting teams lose alot.

 

[covcity4life]

But like maybe they could. Who knows. But they could also do it Spain Germany and France then. It's not that serie a is a poorer league that's for sure.

...and apart from watching a lot of Serie A football in general - the quality at the bottom of the league is poor.
I think you'd be hard pressed to find a lot of Italians who think Serie A in general is on the up at the moment, unless you're just basing it on a couple of rich clubs reaching the latter rounds of the CL, of course.

I have watched every season since channel 4 days

I don't see it as any lower quality than other leagues bar prem which is its own super League now.

Roma beat levurkusen in semis. Can't tell me bundelsiga is better than serie a. Bayern may be but overall I'm not having Dortmund over inter or RB liepzig I've napoli personally

Also as said before not having shalke or auxerre over spezia or Verona etc

Hopefully Roma win tonight. Jose vs Sevilla. Something's gotta give in Europe.

And again you’re just going on about top teams so will leave it there.

I literally just mentioned spezia and Verona and Bochum shalke and Ajaccio etc

Yeah and I was comparing them to CCFC and our chances of staying up in Serie A.
The top end of the Championship is A LOT better than the top of Serie B.

 

[covcity4life]

Yeah and I was comparing them to CCFC.

And ilall I have said is if that's the case we could also be lower mid table in bundelsiga and la Liga?

Agree or disagree?

No idea, I don't have enough knowledge of those leagues to comment.
I definitely think our squad that finished the season would survive in Serie A though.

Ok

Good signs then as serie a is second best league in Europe right now or at least well on its way. If only the finances could catch up.

Sporting directors working miracles without great revenues. Hard to keep that going.

 

[no_loyalty]

I can’t see anything other than a comfortable Man City win tonight.

Serie a rated 4th best , its actually gone down as it was 3rd best last season

Rated by who?

I'm giving my opinion based on all the leagues I watch

Ball is hardly in play in la Liga. Check the stats. Boring most games

undelsiga is fun and great crowds but teams not as good as in Italy for me. Well not too 10 anyway.

Prem I actually found boring for a few seasons now but no disputing it's number .1

So Italy in at 2 for me.

 

[covcity4life]

I'm only talking about right now btw

La Liga euro winner stats would have them number one over the longer term I imagine

I admire your passion for Serie A but the quality of the league outside of the top teams is really not great.

That's nothing, I often try to talk about the City on here to posters who are quite clearly on a different planet.

Think you are too down on them personally.

But there are different reasons to think a league is better than others. I'm just curious on what serie a was rated below la Liga other than Spanish teams record in Europe. Also bundelsiga is overated by fans in UK because of the packed crowds imo

It's the leagues coefficient rating based on lots of different things

I found that fairly realistic until I saw Scotland in 9th

Why? Who should be above them?
A Scottish team got to a Europa final recently, that will have a massive affect on the co-efficient amongst the minor nations.
It's not as though they're above any of the major leagues.
France in 5th is more astonishing.
Edit - France in 5th isn't, they've done fuck all really.

The Turkish league for sure.

Rangers getting to that final is doing a lot of heavy lifting, the league is garbage.

Turkish League, Austrian League, MLS as mentioned.

 

[clint van damme]

The Turkish league for sure. Reckon the MLS is probably better these days too tbh. Would think Brazilian has more quality too although I won't pretend to be an expert.

It's based on performance though.
What have Turkish teams done?

Surely it’s based on the quality of the league as a whole rather than performances of 1 team.
