Again, if you knew anything about this country and its main football channel, you would realize what is going on here. He's promoting football through hyping up the MLS and the EPL, the two leagues that people here love the most. The show he just appeared upon is notorious for not knowing much about other leagues and hyping up the EPL, as the two idiots in charge are English. The reason why Lalas would want to hype up the EPL instead of Italy is because it looks better for the EPL fans and also the MLS... as most MLS players travel to England once they graduate from here.
Lalas played for Padova in the 90's. Calciopoli wasn't present back then, however possible doping was running rampant. He didn't say anything about the latter, so he doesn't know what he's talking about. The guy is from essentially the same place as I am, but when I here him speak such nonsense, I'm not going to stand for it. Anybody who has a reasonable recognition of the top three leagues in Europe can see straight through this nonsense.
Look, Andries. You might think I'm an idiot and all, but don't try to argue something I watch or experiance everyday that is exclusive to my country. I would never argue anything regarding Belgian football because unfortunately we don't see any here in the US of A. What Lalas is doing here is pure propaganda.
