Right. Because everyone will want to watch the Italian Eredivisie.
once again how that relates to the league is beyond me you could have at least gone with the quality player attraction argument, but i ll entertain your silly corelation, so since serie a has been making more money since they ve been flopping in european competition, and the 2 are related then we have to definitely root for less italian teams in the competitions.

1 Champions League slot. Doesn't that tell you that the league is probably shit?

The ESPN commentators and summarisers are a mixed bag.

There are a few good ones who just comment on the game.

Then there are others who go into games with a dislike of Italian football and are going to criticise it at every opportunity.

The Aberdonian guys are pretty decent: Derek Rae (from Aberdeen) and Scott Booth (ex Aberdeen player).
I don't see enough to get a full picture. Generally I'm a fan of British commentary.
Just can't stand watching a good serie a game and then hearing a caller sound like he's at a funeral procession.

not necessarily, would you say german/spanish league is better than serie a?
I don't often watch either, but whatever the answer is, I'd guess they're pretty close. And Italy only recently lost that 1 spot and mostly because of EL performances i.e. not because of the strength of the top teams.

Are there any interesting or strong leagues with only 1 strong team in them?

Trust me, I want inter, Milan and Napoli to fail as much as possible but I do not want to watch a boring league and one where I have to watch from a small screen on a laptop. The 2 are probably not exclusive, so I'd take the tears of the scum if I had to choose.
