With Crisitano Ronaldo's gr8 scoring to start to his Real Madrid career, and the ridiculously poor goalkeeping and defending in La Liga and sum European teams. Can he do the "impossible" and score 50 goals this season in the 2nd best league in Europe?
My personal opinion is if he stays fit, then Yes
A better question could be "Will Zlatan Ibrahimovic get 50 goals this season"? He's already on 5 in 5, which I believe is an all-time record start to a Barcelona career. There again, David Villa is currently ahead of both of them.

Cristiano's got off to record start with Real Madrid as well. I was referring to ALL competitions, there's no way any1 can get 50 goals in the league alone! lol

Which league is better?
Surely the league with the best teams and the best players and the best football is the best league?
To answer the question though I don't think he will, teams will adjust or Raul will have a strop so I don't think he'll get to hit all the penalties
He SHOULD reach 40 if he stays uninjured but I think that 50 is a tall order.
The defending in spain is shit so he might

4m early sighting it looks like ronaldo has got penalty duty. But he did let kaka take 1 but it may have been so kaka gets off the mark.
Best league in the world is 1 that has depth and quality and integrity. Not jus the best 2 or 4 teams. Since bout 2006. The EPL has been the best.
Spain is well know 4 it's "match agreements" in dead rubbers at the end of the season.
In la liga the defendin is shockin!! They dnt even put up a fight!
The premier league has the largest worlwide audience because it's entertaintment value and unpredictability. Yes, the technical ability of players in la liga is higher, but in terms of competitiveness n quality EPL is streets ahead.

I think you'll find it's Italy where there are gentlemen's agreements over end-of-season matches.
Regarding whether the Premier League or La Liga is stronger, it depends how you look at it. The PL is of course extremely strong when you look at the Top 4, and the second batch (e.g. Villa, Everton,) are on a level with the equivalent Spanish teams like Valencia and Villarreal. After that, though, the quality drops off rapidly. If the bottom half teams in Spain played the bottom half teams in England, there would be no contest. Last season, Hull stayed up with 35 points, but in Spain, Betis got relegated with 42. Espanyol even beat Barcelona in the Camp Nou when they were bottom of the table, the equivalent of West Brom winning at Old Trafford!
Lol ye thats tru but they do it in Spain as well, sum clubs will pay another club to beat the team they're playing.
The top 10 of the premier league are far superior to the top 10 of La Liga. And some of the goals scored this season, u'l never see defenders jus let players walk through like they did in La Liga like u wud in the Premier League.
With Espanyol, tho it was a false position, they're a UEFA cup team. it wud be the same as sum1 like Everton or Villa winning at Chelsea or Utd
The other coin to the Hull arguement is its harder to get points in EPL, but having said that the bottom 4 teams last season were dreadful. This season seems alot better with Burnley, Brum n Wolves putting up a fight, in comparison the teams promoted in La Liga are awful, yes i no that they don't have the money that u get in the EPL in terms of parachute payments n all that, but La Liga teams sell their TV rights individually, and Barca and Real sold there's for 140m euro's or sumtin like that, so its the distribution of money thats different, not the entire amount.
