    The English league is so boring but there are great games of football to watch out there. I can watch virtually any game in La Liga. Aside from the obvious Barca, Real and Atletico, Villarreal and Sevilla are superb to watch. High intensity and real purposeful football. Even teams like Rayo Vallecano and Espanyol play good stuff with limited resources.

    The Bundesliga has went back the way slightly as big teams like Werder Bremen, Hamburg and Stuttgart have all been struggling in recent years. But Dortmund and Gladbach are superb to watch and Mainz consistently over achieve every year.

    Serie A is incredibly under rated as well. The best league tactically by a mile and there is a good mix of experience and promising youth players amongst the top teams.

    Despite how stale I find the league I really enjoy watching Southampton as well, and Ajax are always good to watch.

    I've not watched any football outside of us and Scotland this season basically, might have caught another few games as well, but the majority of the time I just watch the results coming in when I put a bet on.

    I just don't feel as interested in football as I used to and especially the Champions League

    That's it for me.

    I used to hate watching Chelsea when they would just camp in their own box and offer little going forward. But the way Atletico players press and win the ball back so quickly is amazing. Plus their counter attacks are often lethal.

    Aye the Atletico version isn't really park the bus anti-football - that usually just has a team camping in their own box and allowing the opposition all the possession which is usually boring as *. Atletico they more just run about mental shutting everyone down to win the ball back and break quick so its a more end to end version of defensive football.

    I am the exact same.

    I am hoping the Euros will somewhat make up for what has been a boring season.

    Unstoppable force vs immovable object. Have no idea who will go through.
