Re: Rank soccer Leagues of the world

Re: Rank soccer Leagues of the world
yeah I think the top 4 are definitely:
1. England 2. Spain 3. Italy 4. Germany I think the gap between 1 and 2 are very close if not even. However both of those leagues are somewhat much better than 3 and 4. An argument could be made for Germany currently being 3rd. |

[/ QUOTE ] Wow.... so wrong. off top of my head, not necessarily in order England, Spain, Italy, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Holland, France, Mexico, Portugal... that's 10 leagues higher then MLS. I know nothing about leagues in Asia either and I don't think its all that much of stretch to consider other South American leagues being > or equal to the MLS. |

Re: Rank soccer Leagues of the world
1. Spain
2. England 3. Italy 4. Germany 5. France Next tier has leagues from countries like Belgium, Scotland, Portugal, the Netherlands, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Eastern European and Scandinavian countries. I honestly don't know about these last two groups except that they produce credible but not great teams in the UEFA Cup and Champions League. The type of teams nobody wants to play in the earlier rounds but that don't usually get deep. The next tier down after that is going to have the MLS, middle eastern and East Asian leagues as well as some of the South American leagues like in Chile, Colombia and Uruguay. Finally, you would have leagues in central America and the Caribbean as well as the other smaller leagues in Asia and I guess Africa. I'm not considering lower tiers in any country. I don't think anybody knows enough to really say how the Portuguese second flight compares with the league in Romania or whatever. |

MLS is closer to 17th than 7th, although I think the gap after the top 6 or 7 to the 20th best league isn't a lot.

[/ QUOTE ] I think overall a good way to judge this would be to think about how well teams in the leagues would do if they switched with the corresponding team in the other league. I think Manchester United and Chelsea would do as well or better than Real Madrid and Barcelona if they switched but I think after that I would expect most teams in Spain to do better than their corresponding team. That's why I put Spain higher than England. It's pretty close though. I think Italy is a notch down for a similar reason. |
