I happened to see that a match was on the scoreboard about 2 days ago. It must have been Steelers vs. Seoul.

http://int.soccerway.com/ I'll keep an eye out for this next match, it looks like Saturday.

England has had 10 clubs appear in the Champion's League (Us, Utd, City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Leeds, Everton, Newcastle and Spurs).

Spain has had 14 (can't be arsed listing): http://www.eurocupshistory.com/champions_league/spain_clubs

You can use stats how you want ofc, but I believe Spain is definitely more competitive than England.

That link was to the botton half of the league. It splits into two now at the half way point of the season. here is the situation at the top.

We are 9 hours ahead here on the peninsula so kick off will be 5am Sunday in the UK.

The Premier League has had the most World Cup players since at least 2006, meaning World Cup players from every team, Drogba, Kuyt, etc, in fact, let's not forget the Korean who played for Man Utd. as well, I think Park.

That's got to be a good stat.

Still, it seems the "mega-stars" in recent years have been in Spain, Ronaldinho, Messi, now Cristiano Ronaldo who of course, played in England, now they have Gareth Bale. A decade ago, Zidane and Ronaldo. Not to forget Ibrahamovic and Eto'o who were prime big stars there.

Well the Korean team I like is bottom of the league I've just discovered!

Daejeon rallied well under a new manager but didn't quite escape. They were relegated today.

That's a shame, I didn't even know they had a second division over there. I know they have a lot of university teams though so could one of them be promoted to the K League?

Only in Japan.

Love the way that he beat the offside trap for the first, but lucky with the second, mind.

[Stuart]

Funny but... ouch.

Fernando Ricksen, who is suffering from Motor Neurone Disease, makes an emotional return to Rangers.

And some people said that he was a good player, and should play for us.

Rest In Peace Luis Aragones. Saddened.

http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/25997111

Yes, he met with some controversy, he was from another time.

For the record, he played with Real Betis, that was his main club.

Surely Spain will dedicate their WC effort to the memory of LA.

I notice Pablo Piatti scored as Valencia ended Barca's unbeaten home record...

Remember when we were linked to him?

[Guest Norbert]

Yep, though it was all agent talk to get others after him. Just like the other players in that £50m list.
