Spain: La Liga
« on: Aug 17, 2008, 06:59: PM »



Its the beginning of the new season and there have been changes in all the dressing room, how will that effect the team and where will everyone finish come end of the season?
we will have to wait and see!

Spanish Primera División 2008/2009 Opening Fixtures:

Athletic Bilbao    VS    Almeria
Numancia    VS    Barcelona
Osasuna    VS    Villarreal
Real Betis    VS    Recreativo Huelva
Deportivo La Coruña    VS    Real Madrid
Racing Santander    VS    Sevilla FC
Sporting Gijon    VS    Getafe
Atlético Madrid    VS    Málaga
Espanyol    VS    Valladolid
Valencia    VS    Mallorca


there are many question to be asked such as:
Can Almeria continue their good form in the La Liga like last season as they face Bilbao who are also relegation candidates?
Can Barcelona cope with the loss of Ronaldinho and will the La Liga?
Will Madrid go all the way and win the title despite not signing C.Ronaldo and Sniejder injured?

Good first post there Tito.

I honestly think the Ronaldinho transfer will not make an entirely huge difference on Barcelona. Barca will finish 2nd to Madrid though.

Villa = Transfer OUT to United! (comeee on)

Xavi Confident Of Barça Success
After finishing last season on a huge high by winning the European Championships with Spain and being named as player of the tournament, Xavi Hernandez is confident of success at club level this year with Barcelona…

Xavi, Hleb, Iniesta and Yaya Toure in mid along with Messi and Bojan in Attacking mid or wind position theres no reason why they can't win the league specially with the mood at the bernabuea souring but their only problem is defense.

Can you see teams like Athletico Madrid, Villareal, Valencia and Sevilla step up their game and make the La Liga the dominate force in European football?

Good first post there Tito.
thanks i'm going to try to make this thread the best of all

Looks like they aren't getting as unlucky anymore. Both of David Villa's goals required some lucky bounces. They got none of those last season. And Silva is a beast. Top 5 midfielder right now in the world.

Numancia 1 - 0 Barcelona
Mario from Numancia had a great goal and Messi was so close to scoring on a freekick late in the game to tie it up but he hit the post.. unlucky.

Hleb also got subbed on..

Barca tends tp have moments of weakness where they let the opponent make a run though the middle and send a ball through so that the only one who is left to clean up in front of the goal is Puyol. And the guy is only mortal, seriously...
