    This is why I love the FA Cup

    What a weekend!! The FA cup is unlike anything else. To have clubs like Man City, Chelsea, Southampton, Spurs all get knocked out and Man United and Liverpool going to a replay is fantastic!

    That is what is so great about Football!!

    I really want Liverpool to do well. It's also nice to see Arsenal doing well too in the FA cup and League, hopefully this will gain them the confidence for a Top 4 finish

          NBC Sports has FA games when played, as well as League games every other Sat/Sun from 7am-4pm, and usually at least 1 league game on regular NBC on Sat/Sun mornings.

                  Nope just enjoy the leagues that have the world's best players... you pick your top 11 EPL players and I'll just take the players from real Madrid, Barcelona and juventus....I'll even give you a goal lead

                    This has been a great debate for some time now. I will say that La Liga has 3 teams at the top that all would win the premier league or at least finish in the top 2, however, from top to bottom the Premier League is more competitive than La Liga.

                    Yes the style of soccer is different. La Liga is a much more technical league where as the Premier League is more of a box to box type of league. More quick counter attacking and faster pace for the most part.

                    As for Serie A, you are completely off base. The league has gone downhill over the past 10 years. Even UEFA has established this. The top 3 leagues get 3 automatic champions league places as well as a play in spot. Right now Serie A only has 2 guaranteed places and one qualification spot. That means UEFA believes they are no better than the 4th best league in europe. Last year if Benfica won the UEFA Cup then Portuguese league was going to leapfrog Serie A as the fourth best league in europe.

                      Like I said, pick the best 11 players from the EPL and I'll pick the best players from Real, Barca and Juve...I'll even give you a one goal lead

                        That is not the point. If you're saying that La Liga is a better league than the Premier league then this point is not applicable. A better question would be other then the top two teams in each league, which would be Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester city, and Chelsea which league has the better 11?

                          Okay. Pick your 11 from Real, Barca and Juve.
                          I'll match it with my 11 from the Premier League.

                            Not the OP but I'll try it...


                            GK: Casillas
                            Def: Chiellini, Ramos and Marcelo
                            MF: Kroos, Pogba, Iniesta and the midfield general, Pirlo
                            Fwd: Neymar , CR7 and Messi

                              MF: Kroos, Pogba, Iniesta and the midfield general, Pirlo
                              Fwd: Neymar , CR7 and Messi
                              GK: De Gea (better than Casillas)
                              Back: Baines, John Terry, Kompany, Vertonghen (better defense than yours)
                              MF: Harzard (or Alexis Sanchez), Di Maria, Fabregas, Yaya Toure (MF in my opinion are equal, give or take)
                              Fwd: Aguero, Diego Costa

                              You have better forwards (but Aguero and Costa aren't pushovers) and the Premier League matches your midfield you had to pull from 2 leagues and the Premier League defense is definitely better.
