It's cause he plays for Barcelona, that is why he escapes criticism.
What the hell do you mean by that? Punish? What? Catalonia would be punishing themselves if they left Spain, not only because they would lose all the money they leech from the rest of the country, but because industries and investors will leave. In fact, they are already leaving. Nobody would exclude Barcelona, they are choosing to exclude themselves. For what it matters, they should have already left, since they hate Spain so much and show it by burning flags, whistling against the national anthem etcEdit: In case of a Catalan yes vote, how far do you think Madrid would want to punish them? And if they exclude Barcelona (who just supported the independence vote) do you think they will play at the French league or somewhere else?
Well technically Andorra and Gilbartar are foreign countries (yes yes Spain claims the latter as territory and Andorra has a Spanich co-prince ruling thingy). There is also the fact Real Madrid, its fans and classico lovers all over the world not wanting the league to be destroyed regardless of the outcome of the vote but this is an interesting subject to bring up seeing as the vote is November 22.What the hell do you mean by that?

DestinyGallade Spain's Sport Law specifies that no team from a foreign country can play in any of Spain's sport leagues. So Barcelona wouldn't be able to play La Liga, unless they change the law, which would be unbelievably pathetic, and an invitation for other parts of Spain to do the same. We would be making a fool of ourselves and throwing out all of the national pride we had left.
As for playing in Ligue 1, Manuel Valls (France primer minister) said a few months ago that ''We will not allow Barcelona to play in Ligue 1''
Gibraltar teams don't play in Spain, they have their own league. Doesn't have anything to do with this.Well technically Andorra and Gilbartar are foreign countries (yes yes Spain claims the latter as territory and Andorra has a Spanich co-prince ruling thingy).

But from a nationalistic view I don't see Spain welcoming Barca to the league regardless of how the league will fare afterwards.
In a worst case scenario especially since you say France won't house them (they have their own separatists after all) I could see a small Catalonia league with some teams from supportive regions (Basque) joining in.
Again, don't shoot the messenger I'm just sayian.
The team that played against Poland and Ireland is clearly worse than the team that won the World Cup. For example Löw needs to find new full backs, especially due to Lahm's retire, so we are testing players there. Rüdiger and Durm are both young lads with few experience and Rüdiger is a CB at Stuttgart, so not even used to play as a right back. It was also a kinda young team, considering that Neuer was the oldest player in our starting XI and he is 28 years.O'shea of all people, Germany that bad?
ye you liverpool fans really have it tough. finishing second in the premier league and winning a champions league in the last decade must've really been a struggle for you to see throughOh shut up, as a Liverpool and Ireland fan I haven't had many moments of rejoice recently, let me enjoy this one!!
