2014 La Liga Race

Atletico+Madrid+champions+La+Liga+Spain.

 

Can Atletico repeat or will the Summer exits prove to be too much to overcome?

Last year Atletico completed the dream league season, but it's been a Summer of change at the top of La Liga. Atletico has been poached to an extent, and Barcelona has brought in plenty of new talent like Luis "The Count" Suarez. Defending European Champions Real Madrid also have had another influx of serious talent with the additions of Toni Kroos, Kaylor Navas and James Rodriguez. While it remains to be seen what will happen with Di Maria and Khedira, it looks to be a two horse race again where Barcelona and Real will battle wire to wire for the League crown.

Your thread is a lot fancier than mine.  Boo!!!

 

I do not follow La Liga as much as other leagues but I loved seeing Atletico beat out the other two, if only for a season.  What are the chances they, or anybody else is competitive through at least the first half?

They'll be competitive for sure. Just don't think they have the horses to stay up top for the long-haul.

Edit: nevermind, now I remember you were the guy all bent out of shape that there were threads for the preseason,premier League and champions league. How's that truck thread working out for you? Nationwide?

Come on Real! Let's win La Liga this season.

Bale looks much improved, Ronaldo is healthy and only 6 goals away from breaking Raul's record, Navas is as good as advertised, Kroos is a passing guru, Di Maria is back with the team, Modric remains underrated, Benzema is shaking off the rust, and Isco is looking sharp.

James, on the other hand, has been such a disappointment and Khedira is being a sulky whimp.

 

People thought Bale was a bum last October too. Give James time to get acclimated to the team.

    • We definitely overpaid but as long as he's not lined up at NT he's been a starter level player which is a major step in the right direction compared to last year's D-line.  Because of his contract he'll definitely be here next year, but I fully expect him to be a cap casualty next offseason.  We'd save 15M in cap space if we cut him in 2027. I don't think he sees year 3 of his deal. I'd be open to keeping him around in 2027 but his deal would have to be reworked to a substantially lower number. 
    • Getting left out in favor of less-deserving Alabama is an honor bestowed upon a new team every year. Miami should take pride in back-to-back 10-win seasons for the first time in decades. As long as this doesn't cripple their program like it did FSU, they should be able to go for another one next year.  And, being someone who also likes to see Miami do well but knows its penchant for horribly timed losses, there's a great chance they don't find a way to beat UVa or Duke last night regardless of the matchup on paper. 
    • Truth be told, I just like a 4-3 defense better and I'll just jump in with any chance to make that statement. Seemed like an opportune moment.
