I belive the best league is a tie between Serie A and La Liga for the following reasons:
- the competition thats all 20 or so teams are at a higher level
- players are better, more stars
- the technical, skill and tactical levels are supreme

having said that i think EPL is third and still very good

let me get this straight you guys are saying that most football fans are ignorant because they think the EPL is the best league in europe,while you guys are the all knowledgable people because you thin the Calcio is the best:rolleyes:
There are people in Asia who think that the EPL is the best league in the world, and if you ask them to name any teams besides Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal, they wont know Southampton from Texas.

We're not claiming to be the know all knowledgeble types, but what you must realise is that people like yourself (considering your an epl fan) are falling prey to a very well packaged commercial product. When in reality, the football team you follow should be more than just that.

If you ask me, i think the Dutch league is as exciting as the EPL, but it never will enjoy the backing the EPL gets because it isnt as hyped. But the quality, mind you is as good if not better, overall.

As for the overall best league, i think the La Liga and Serie A make the cut over the EPL.

pure entertain ment is between epl or maybe a decent la liga game.

Technically terms its serie a....

but there is no one best, each has its advantage and disadvantage, and depends on ur criteria.

Because defenders in EPL don't have a clue. Midfielders watch the ball fly over them as it ping pongs from box to box. People who love it and claim it is the best don't watch other leagues or haven't heard of the champions league

The EPL is a tad overrated. it isnt the best league (you cant really compare the leagues quality wise, they're all diferent and have their unique characteristics), but the EPL undoubtably has the biggest entertainment value, and hence most people think it's the best league.
Oh really? And I thought those things are subjective.. :D:p

Does anyone know how I can get ahold of Arsen Wenger and tell him he is a bloody genius. He has gotten his whole National Team to play for the same club team, that, brilliant! or it is weakness depending on how you look at it.

Also if the EPL is so good, why is it dominated by players who are not originally from the UK?

AND why only has one English team won in the Champions League in past 18 Years (Man. U. over my beloved Bayern in 1999), that seems rather weak to us.
What has having foreigners in your league got to do with the entertainment ? Yes its overrated in terms of saying its the best but its the most universally popular for whatever reasons, who gives a toss?
The fact still remains that it is very entertaining to whole lotta ppl.
Its teams have done well in the Cl and the Uefa league as they have been in semis, quarters and some finals and have beaten a lot of Italian teams on the way.

La liga used toi be the most entertaining in my view but this season , its no where as good

I have always preferred seriea to every other league but ats a personal touch

And what of the bundelsliga? It has so many foreigners, but its problem is that it has way too many Germans and that makes it thrash

What have German teams done lately in both club level and international level

England may not be the best in the world but they don't get thrashed 5-1 at home or 3-0 in huge European competitions

And would definitely have beaten czech b side to qualify and not have drawn with mighty Latvia

You criticise English players, please outside Ballack name me 1 world class German player

And how the hell can u get away with ur filthy signature?
