one commented about the world's best team before...if we go by trophies won at world club championships then the EPL does not even feature in the world's best clubs. Edit: sorry it does feature at the bottom
I guess this settles it then
The strongest/most successful leagues in the world aren't even in europe but are in South America. (Pity we never get to watch them)
The strongest/most successful league in Europe is Italy (in world terms)
English league is the second least successful in the world amongst winners of world club championships...
This is also closely mirrored in each country's achievement at World Cup championships.....
To sum up we watch the EPL simply because we do not have a choice....It's sort of like how it is with the local PSL, we watch it simply because it's what's on TV, otherwise there are better products out there...but we never know because the owners of television bend the information all they want to suit their revenues....
ur argument has no bearing on the topic at hand. we are discussing the best leagues in the world, not the best countries in the world.
The leagues happen to correspond to countries. or are you dumb.
The English Premier League is from ENGLAND. Maybe you don't understand football that well, let me explain it to you REAL SLOW... There's one main league per country, get it ? ITaly Serie A, Spain Laliga etc, are you still following ?
The winner of the UEfa Champions league comes from the winners of various domestic leugues within UEFA. This winner (last year AC Milan) competes against winners from other federations i.e. Commenbol, Caf, Concacaf, etc. The winner of that tournament is the winner of the world club football.
This is the ULTIMATE winner of club football. Judging by the stats posted previously, proponents of the English league are either naive about football outside of the EPL as I mentioned before, or are just arguing just for the sake of arguing. The EPL depite boasting all the money, the marketing, the big name players has achieved very little in comparison to other leagues across the world. DO YOU GET IT NOW ?
NOW for the finale
1. ARGENTINA AND BRAZILIAN Leagues are the most succesful with 9 titles each
2. ITALY 8 titles
3. URuguays 6 titles
....
....
....
....
....
ENGlAND 1 title

when people resort to insults to try and promote their ideas, it usually means they are talking BS. i don't see any exception here.

There are no insults in my posts?
Being dumb is not an insult it simple means you know preciously little.....
It can also mean you comment first and read the post you are quoting later... that's dumb...
Finally we have somebody on this forum who knows what they talking about.

This facts however Ubercal and Bageloo actually mean zilts. In an earlier analysis I have proved that Serie A went backwards since the turn of the century... Not necessary to call people dumb,... or are you guys actually referring to yourselves...5. AC Milan are current European Champions
6. AC Milan are the most successfull Champions League team of the 21St Centuary
7. AC Milan are jointly tied with Boca Juniors as the most successful teams in professional football ( both have won more trophies then any other team including real madrid
The World Club Championships??? Please. Talk about a pointless trophy. It's more like the Charity Shield and is a useless measure of which leagues are the strongest.
On the point of 6-4 score lines, please dude get this fact, football is not a high scoring game, rugby and cricket are. A team that concedes 6 goals in one match shows lack of purpose, lack of game plan, above all that is lack of discipline. All those goals are probably a result of basic errors (sort of like school boy soccer) and not so much an indication of resolute attack. In football the best form of defense is attack....but that still does not mean that you throw everything forward from the word go and leave only the keeper to defend. Again you are not worthy of anything if you can score 4 goals and still lose the match.
Spurs 6-4 Reading. Why people watch the EPL.![]()
shocking defending
you have 4 defenders in a team to do axactly that, DEFEND.
One of the goals of soccer is not to concede!!!!
1-0 score line reflects better organisation on both sides whereas a cricket score is typical of youth leagues....where positional play is not yet fully understood.
wtf you are on about? are you retarded or something? if this was the Italian league you would say 6-4 is a brilliant, entertaining match. geez.
I'm with mercurial and hj2k_x on this one, the EPL is for me by far the best league in the world, trophies or no trophies, every single team down to the bottom 3 play slick, fast and ENTERTAINING football with big name footballers filling the squad which, at the end of the day, is what draws spectators to the game.I would never say such a thing especially since in my playing days I played a defensive role
You are right about one thing though, that kind of match is highly entertaining to the spectator. However in terms of gauging football strength, don't even mention it.
