Another goal by Iñaki Williams, I don't know how Athletic manages to extract so much talent from a 2 million population.

Who would win between the Basque region and Catalonia do you think?

 

Is that a serious question?

Oh great, Villa have dramatically improved straight away.

 

:lol: :lol: First game. Even we looked much improved in Carvers first half as manager against Burnley

 

Aye I know, was just hoping they would be getting hammered by now.

 

Me too for my fantasy team. Captaining Sterling is looking like a beautiful decision.

Why woudn't it be?

 

They play each other quite often and the games are usually draws.

Yes. The Basque team would be fucking class, Azpiliqueta, Martinez, Alonso, Herrera, Griezmann, Laporte, Llorente

 

Edit: Actually not sure Griezmann is Basque

TBF they don't play quite often at all, while it's usually draws I don't doubt for a second if both had to play on the international stage that the Catalan team would be more successful.

Catalonia have bigger names but they're largely aging (Valdes and Xavi). Basque have more depth and better strikers. Basque team would probably be stronger if you include the French basque region (the Basque national team only includes the autonomous region within Spain.)

Yes. The Basque team would be f***ing class, Azpiliqueta, Martinez, Alonso, Herrera, Griezmann, Laporte, Llorente

He's not

?? If we're putting Griezemann there I guess Messi is part of the Catalonia team? And are we adding French-Basque players as well?

Fair enough, was thinking more in terms of last decade or so. I mean Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets ends that for me.

I already edited my post as I wasn't sure. Well they are part of Basque so yes I am counting them. Barca have bigger names no doubt but the Basque team would be more balanced IMO

:thup:

 

Iniesta has lived in Barcelona since he was bairn (and he moved for football reasons), but he was born in La Mancha. I wouldn't count him.

 

True, completely forgot about that.

Yeah I'd agree 5 years ago the Catalan team would be stacked. Iniesta's not Catalan btw. He played once for Catalonia but that's only because they sometimes have guest players (Cruyff and a few others have played as well).
