well that is an easy rule to enforce

but judging fouls already starts with the question "what is a foul?"

This is nuts. (The 2 bundesliga incident.)


Wow lol, that’s extremely harsh even if it’s a rule. That ball was obviously going out and the play did not interfere with play in any way.

It is the rule and its completely black and white, if a player not in the game interferes with the ball in play it is a direct freekick -> penalty if in the box.
Clearly this should be refereed like professional fouls:
- prevent a goal scoring opportunity = red and penalty
- stop the ball going out too early = indirect fk and maybe a yellow for stupidity, depending on context

Heres hoping that this is taken notice of and a common sense change to the laws is applied soon- However blaming the referee and var for not ignoring the rules is just annoying.

Yeah as farcical as it seems. The problem is the rule and not the referees actions.

Maybe it's a programmer thing, but where ever possible, I'd like to keep the 'vulnerable surface' as small as possible. The less interpretational rules you have, the less things can go wrong because people are pushing against the rules to get advantages and all that.

I just find it easier to keep the rule straightforward. I'm not particularly against having more room to pick the correct punishment, but the bottom line is that it never even should come to question whether a player outside the current 11 interfered with the play. Especially with the loud stadiums, mental pressure, time wasting and all that, we sometimes get really awkward stuff like Hazard vs the ballboy. I'd rather keep possibilities like that minimal whenever the more lax set of rules isn't making the game flow much better anyway.

can someone explain me why the Premier league has such huge problems with VAR? I know its not perfect anywhere but imo its the worst in England - whats different there?

The premier league refs official governing body they have (PMGOL) stated they set the bar very high to overrule any decision in the game, if it is not an OBVIOUS error they said they would not get involved, that is why the calls are shit like they are even with VAR active. Now this weekend it looks like they relaxed them tenfold but still got some wrong, even though imo this weekend was way better.

Meanwhile, 14! year old Moukoko scored his 4th hattrick of the season in the highest german under 19 league and is now sitting on 18 goals in 9 games. That kid just doesn't stop scoring.

The way you wrote that made me think Barcelona lost badly at home. I had to check the result.

The difference between the beginning of the league without Messi and now with Messi is so huge (All victories since he is playing in form).

I have a bad feeling about Barcelona when Messi retires. He has been carrying the team alone (with Ter Stegen) since Neymar left.

I've just watched the highlights, both assists and goals were amazing. I was mostly in awe of his ball control again in his second goal (the 4-1). It looks so simple, yet the way he controls it with his upper leg and how it perfectly lines up for the shot, no-one else does that. Most people just try to control the ball and end up with their backs to the goal and play continues from there. Somehow he manages to control it in an 180 degree angle and grants himself the time to release a pitch-perfect missile.

It will be a couple of years, they have some time to work on their team. They're already bringing youngsters in the team like Frenkie de Jong.

But yeah, they'll fall off but isn't that quite logical when the best player in the world retires? That would happen to any team. Look at what happened in Madrid :x

Every time i watch some Liga's highlights it baffles me how teams defend so badly, like no fucking marking by defenders, tons of space for every forward to control the ball, turn and go for the goal. The first goal of Barca's match is a perfect example

And yet it is by far the strongest league, or at least was until the last season, where the Premiere League probably was better.

Yeah that second goal was pure class, the more I watched the more impressive it gets. Once he got the ball goal side you know it’s going in the back of the net.

At least in terms of overall market value of players, Premier League is still way higher. Transfermarkt lists PL at 9 billion, La Liga at 6 billion.

It's probably a horrible measure, for example Grenada is contesting the La Liga right now with total market value of some 35 million or something, but I can't really come up anything better to compare team strength past the top few that qualify to the European competitions.

English football has a shitload of money but most clubs are managed poorly so a lot of the money goes to waste. Then there's inflated market values for English 'homegrown' players to account for as well.

I think the rivalry between both leagues is exciting though, but this year I only see Barça threatening the English clubs (again). Atletico could grind out some results, but Real Madrid is very poor since after they lucked some CL's.

I think the homegrown bonus doesn't apply to transfermarkt directly, most homegrown players are just traded with way higher money than their listed value. I did some googling, but couldn't find much info on their calculation though, so I might be lost on this one.

Otherwise I kind of agree, but I couldn't figure out any better even remotely objective metric than the transfermarkt overall. Something like poor management is really hard to assess - especially for bottom half of La Liga teams, which will get very little coverage most of the time.

Yeah I think it has to do with budget as well. The budget of clubs like Southampton, Norwich and Aston Villa is a lot higher than Granada, Eibar and Leganes due to extremely high payouts from tv rights. They can afford more expensive players, whereas the Spanish club have to be more inventive with their choices and focus more on youth academies (short term vs long term, long term is often less expensive).
