Which? I think that england has the best league in the world.
Why? Look at the UEFA champions league, the quality of players, the coachs and the development of players from youth to teams like Man.U, Chel$ki so on.

England does ave the best domestic league..It's very well marketed, and it is the highest goal of all footballers I would think..To play in the EPL.

Depends what you mean by 'best'.
 
English football is the most popular in the world  because of the pace. It's like watching human pinball compared to Serie A....but the old argument is that the Italians have the better technique.
 
I prefer watching Spanish football as it seems to be the best of both worlds.

Defo EPL - all the others are mere pretenders to the throne.

NZFC thanks... the A-League has 7 Australian sides dragging it down.


Good call. The fact that the EPL is played in the middle of the night means that I would much prefer to watch the Phoenix, but I prefer the EPL to games that do not involve the Phoenix.

Call me old fashioned but a league should be competetive to be good. We can all name the the top four for next seasons English Premiership already, make a good guess for the top two and probably gamble on the winner. So where's the fun in that?
English Championship throws up some good results and is genuinely competetive. Sunderlands rise up last season was incredible and who wold have predicted Derby gaining promotion?
But -dare I say it- further down the leagues it really gets interesting. No big money clubs means a much more level playing field. The English Conference (now called the Blue Square Premiership for chrissakes) has half the table who could realistically hope for promotion next season while League two has equally that number who are anxiously looking over their shoulders.
Now that is exciting, makes entertaining football - and makes good leagues.

La Liga , much more compact than the EPL, players are technically superior and there has been a great three way battle for the title this season, it going to go down to the last round. Beyond the top 4 the EPL is very average in quality.

I like the Brazilian Championship, it has some great young talents (until they are shipped to Europe) and there are many competitive teams, while many older brazilians come back and give their experience back to their team. Although it is never televised in NZ some games are well worth seeing, adn often there are many goals oweing to the fact Brazilians are actually interested in scoring goals unlike many european teams i have seen play.

Botafogo - Rio de Janeiro and Wellington Phoenix, my two teams til death do us part.

I agree the EPL is really quite boring but lower down it gets more interesting.
 
 For me the A league is best
 
Nothing to do with whom I support or where I'm from.  Its becuase its a good mix of physical football, skill and class and its very close, none of the SPL or EPL run aways.  And there's also none of the poofter South American, or European "injuries" beacuse someone looked at him (read Ronaldo of Portugal or many Brazilians and Agentinians).
 
I do though rate Costa Rican club football highly.  Saw a few games earlier this year and really enjoyed them

The A league - cos it's local and the salary cap keeps it competitive. Also reasonable standard of football with some great goals.

What's sight without sound? Love without peace? Copulation without conception?

Whats the obsession with the EPL being the "best", surely its the most televised league, but i would have to agree with some of the others who say that latin leagues are more interesting. I would have to go for a South American league, perhaps the Brazilian league.

Iv seen a few brazilian games and the talent and flair, awesome goals, as well as the crazy, enraged brain-explosion type tackles, makes it one of the more entertaining. I love seeing those Latin tempers flare!

In my opinion, the obscene amounts of money and professionalism is ruining the game over there. Sure there are some of the best players on big money, but has this translated into success for the English national team? I would argue not. The biggest games are often boring flops, including most cup finals.

Actually thinking about it, some of you are right, EPL is to predictable, I think the A-league is good, but not the best.
I don't think there is any best league, all have their good and bad points about them.
