Englsih football is the only league I follow, because of the intensity and amosphere and the high pace of the game. I cant stand watching Italian football, with all the primadonnas and crying and diving and whatnot. La Liga is more entertaining, but far from Premier League in my opinion. I love the hard tackles, the no-nonsense style of English football.

And the person who wrote the letter in the original post was nothing but a bitter tool with little understanding of the game, just that technincal football necessarily was better than any other football. His notion about Gerrard shows how little he really understands. While we all love to see players like Kaka and Ronaldinho, there is not one team in the world who wouldnt love to have Gerrard on their team.

Also, the Premiership is the No 1 league in the World, and I don't think thats up for debate tbh.

no 1 in what way? it's certainly the most famous league, but uefa has la liga ranked ahead of the epl regarding performance

2nd essay is spot on, sums up many of my thoughts, the coaching at youth level really does need a mass overhaul.

Yeah, Spains technical football surely have done them a lot good in the European and World Cup...

The most successful European team has been Germany, anyone impressed by their technical skills?

i think that begs the question of whether the players place more significance on their club performance or their national team.
