La Liga 21-22

Post by govmentchedda »

I think Barcelona will be much better than most culers fear. They've got the talent to fill the vacuum left by the Messiah leaving.

Getafe Valencia today should be tasty.

Valencia Getafe has been as chippy as advertised, but I think I fucking hate Kasey Keller and whoever the play by play guy is. Keller has such a shit American attitude towards the Spanish style of play. So much shit talking about theatrics, etc. Just shut the fuck up and realize that's how the game is played in Spain, and celebrate the game. His incessant holier than thou bitching takes all the joy out of the match for me.

Agree.

George Carlin did a bit about listening to baseball games in Spanish. All you need is knowledge of a few numbers, and a few key words and there you go.

That's about where I am. Ended up putting EPL audio on, and rotated between silent La Liga and Bundesliga. NBC's PL coverage is just fantastic.

Especially when Arsenal loses to a team that has never played in the EPL before!

I thought I could read a La Liga thread without getting an EPL spoiler. Oh well, probably better off I go into watching the game dejected.

For spoiling the score.

Although when you think of it, I could have saved Syb 2 hours of pain.

ABC with a pretty big set up at Camp Nou for today's match. Don't think I've ever seen a riser platform in that section of the stadium before. Which reminds me, if you're ever in Barcelona, take the stadium tour. You tour the entire pressbox, where Macca and Darke are calling the game, as well as the trophy room, locker room, benches, press room, etc. It's fantastic.

I'm a bit blown away by the production value for this game. Are they going to CGI Messi onto the field?

La Liga has used that 4k camera for a few years now for sideline shots. I love it.
