In Your Opnion, Which League Is The Best In Europe?
Monday, 14 July 08, 11:23 AM · Comments(16)
Okay this a very heated discussion and I know many people who blow up over the issue, so I'll just throw this out there to get your views.
For me the I rank the top 6 leagues in Europe as follows:
1) La Liga - Spain
2) Serie A - Italy
3) Premier League - England
4) Portuguese Liga - Portugal
5) Eredivisie - Holland
6) Ligue 1 - France
Okay I will justify my reason for saying Spain has the best League. The La Liga is very competitive, unlike England you cannot choose a winner out of four specific clubs. Middle order teams break into the top 4 four every season and teams who you would think are destined to perform are sometimes relegated. The technicality of the league is on another level, and teams are beaten largely based on who makes a mistake first. Another reason why I say La Liga is the best league is because the best players play in the league or want to do so. The biggest stars from around the globe are always drawn to the league, Henry is an example with his recent move to Barcelona and more recently Cristiano Ronaldo, who has openly expressed his desire to join Real Madrid. Moreover the league produces the hottest young talent through their youth teams, the likes of Fernando Torres, Messi, Bojan Krikic, Giovanni Dos Santos, David Villa, David Silva and Sergio Ramos have all been raised in the youth ranks of clubs in Spain.
I could go on and on giving reasons why I believe La Liga is the best league but you go ahead and voice your opinion, I'm eager to hear your comments.

k you say the Premier League and that's your opinion but think about it why are they always struggling to convince the best players to play in their league Ronaldinho for example looks like he will never play in the Premier League. After having basically two opportunities in his career to do so. Also why are the biggest players in the Premier League always keen on moves to Spain or Italy
cause the weathers nice..........
Sorry, can not agree with you at all. I definately feel that our very own Primiership is the 'strongest' league in Europe (not the world, we could never prove that). Why do we never see names such as Ronaldinho here?... They know they would not be able to adapt to the fast physical nature of the Premiership, we have seen it time and time again. The English game is almost a different sport altogether. If a top player learns his game in Spain or Italy and spends the majority of their carrear there, it is inevitable that they will find it extremely tough to adapt to the Premiership (and visa versa). BUT.... That is not to say that it is the best, just as you can not proclaim La Liga to be the best. The truth is they are entirely different games, and it depends on the spectator which is the 'best'. To me personally I prefer The English League, for the simple reason that it is infinately more entertaining, in terms of fast phisycal football. I find the Spanish and Italian leagues a bit too slow for my liking (climate perhaps?). As for the likes of Henry and Ronaldo, Henry obviously wnted to experience another league, and Ronaldo is a prime example of footballing greed. The quality of players in each league is most certainly on a par. It is personal preference as to which style of football an individuall prefers which dictates what is deemed as the 'best league'.
oh Davros Malloy! my my my you hit the nail on the head. It's really down to which style you like the most. I agree with you 100%. I prefer the Spanish style because of the killer passes and how every attacking and defensive play is so well orchestrated. The EPL is fast but lots of times there is a lot of flare and many goals happen by chance in my opinion. In my view not beautiful soccer, teams tend to win ugly a lot in the EPL. However I disagree with what you said about Ronaldinho, trust me he could play anywhere!
