Spanish football is a joke and shit like abusing the referee is why. Every. Single. Time.

Should be straight yellows for that stuff, no one but the captain should even be allowed to speak to the referee for anything more than a reactionary sentence. Would soon lead to better discipline on the field; just look at how disciplined players usually are in Rugby w.r.t refereeing decisions.

spanish football is the best in the world by a large margin(both clubs and national team)and on/off pitch drama is part of it.

thats cyclical. a couple years ago you could say Premier league was the strongest by a large margin. Actually I still think it's the strong league overall.

edit- where is Valdez, btw? Pinto sucks, I can't believe he's barcelona's 2nd gk

I'd still say the overall skill level in the English league is higher then in the Spanish league.

You shouldnt make generalizations like that. Abuse the referee that way only happens in the "clasico" and specially since Mourinho/Pepe/etc are in Real Madrid that last two years. Other matches arent that way.

overall level of the league might be better(and the debatable btw with the rise of malaga),btw i think its due to the media attention to the premier league,there are awesome games in la liga every week,nobody knows about it thats all.

now speaking of BEST football in clubs and national team,spanish teams are miles ahead of english teams.

So, what do Real Madrid and Jose Mourinho have to do to beat Barcelona.......I feel so sorry for my ex boss

he playing vs the gods, he dominates the first half and finds him self 2-0 down and out of the cup basically.

So annoying, poor Jose

Yes, blame Mourinho for Barcelona players sprinting across the pitch to surround the referee. You see the same reactions in Barcelona's Champions League matches against non-Mourinho teams. Group stages against Milan, semis against Chelsea, etc. Any other team in the world has their one or two whiners (my Chelsea side has Ashley and Terry in the refs face all the time for example), while Barcelona has literally the entire team do it. How many times have we seen Valdes near the opposition penalty area arguing with the referee? But yeah, go ahead and blame your own team's behavior on Mourinho, all you're doing is diluting the potency of the legitimate complaints you can have against him.
