I agree with this. Sure the acting is embarrassing and more frequent than other leagues (to be fair it is a Madrid derby) but all the drama it adds + the atmosphere + otherwise an intense game + the goals make this very exciting. So far the first half is definitely among the more memorable games this season. Let's not pretend as if other big derbies around Europe don't end up on the silly side in some portions of the games.The only thing that has rivaled this is the first half from Pool - Arse
Its a more memorable, dramatic, and down right entertaining first half in a car crashy sort of way than most "big" games from any given league.
I also loved the first half in City - Pool game and the Arsenal - Pool game. Great games.
