Yep but the point is your still watching a competition which is of a high quality and taken in isolation isn't too different from the top. If you are into running and you watch nz's best compete in isolation the quality appears no different from the world champs, people aren't tripping on their laces or running with bow legs, their technique is flawless and they are still fudgeing fast. Visually from a running stand point there is no difference between our best runners and Jamaica's best. It's only when you see them competing against each other that you realise that we aren't good enough.
So the point is that euro snobs should get over the fact that the aleague isn't a top euro league because the margins are small between them, and you mainly watch your league in isolation. The teams still look like football teams and still play a high quality game, they just lack those fractions to make them Bolt. But why does it matter? they are still all competent professionals playing in a close and exciting league.
