MUAHAHAHA U JUST SPEAK MY MIND,BROTHER

CHEERS FOR AZZURI

That is truely insulting to EPL fans.

Nothing is about bored or cow or brainless. Both league or even comparing to other country league also playing different style or tactically. Some people prefer those football with million of individual skill to dribble but some people like those ball passing player to player, beautiful playing around. It is all depends on the PEOPLE who watching the football.

yesss dude..commentator role is important too..malaysian commentator can make me sleepy..

i love to watch la liga as well if it is at saturday nite...like 10pm...

but 3am in the morning...is killing me...

how bout bundesliga..hehehe...

i like epl bcos of the pace , i like serie a bcos i can learn a lot ( they play slower & easier to follow). i like la liga bcos it is unpredictable

true... both serie A n la liga in supersports boring bcoz of the commentator r boring and also the epl hv better quality live telecast. u can here all the fans singing n cheering clearly compared to live telecast in supersports... but still... every league hv their own type of play.. i like to watch all the league in europe...

la liga has a lot a skill and beautiful playing(because a lot of brazillian and argentina player in la liga),epl only kick and run styles huuhhh so boring

Because it's over hyped and it isn't the best league in the world, just the most commercially lucrative one.

for me, beside playing style. epl have the best looking presentation (camera view), the only league to use "real football stadium", most consistant jersey design, some "interesting managers"

well even ppl rated spanish league is the best but yet spain didnt perform at world cup stage.

true, epl have 2 commentator whilst the others 1.
and their commentings are like a drone.

look at arsenal! henry in particular
i like la liga before when zidane, figo was still playing, mesmerizing football those days.
now? ronaldinho kicking at peoples balls

imo...yes...spain did not perform at the world cup stage...in this case, serie A will be the best league since italy has just won the world cup...and england is no where near the best league as the national team has not perform to satisfactory level for ages...different ppl has their own preference...la liga is very technical...u can hardly see ppl kick the ball then run chasing the ball...its just that i think most people would prefer football with high level of flair and technicality...epl is too vastly promoted...with lotsa $$$ involved...everybody is saying there are lotsa superb players in epl,partly due to the fact the ppl always see them playin live on tv week in and week out...no doubt there are lotsa great player in epl...but other league do have lotsa great players as well...players like de la pena...jesus navas...luis garcia...david silva...raul albiol...marcos senna etc...are not getting as much hype as of those in epl...

The quality of a league has little relevance to the quality of it's international side. Why? Have you seen the number of foreign players these days? If the quality of the league reflected the quality of the international side, France would not have gotten to the World Cup Finals.

I love EPL cuz they play straight-forward football...sure u can say tat's boring or anythin but den again how many teams can go against MU ( full squad ) chelsea liverpool and Arsenal?

Ppl might say they play hit and run football but tat's da beauty of EPL games..They play pacey and breath-takin football..football is about entertainning the fans and Eng fans and most of the World loves EPL due to the fact that EPL play fast and direct football...

there's no way one can say which is the better league out there..but i reckon the Brazilian League is the best as Brazil won the most in terms of World Cup rite?

and to the one who say EPL teams play like cows i muz say he's either brainless or simply being stupid..dun try to provoke EPL supporters here as it aint funny...

Ok let me be honest. In terms of the way they play,yes i agree it's up to different people's preferences and i have nothing against people who says epl is not as interesting as some other leagues.

What made the difference is like what most people said here,the language and commentators. 1st,most people only understands english. Secondly,EPL commentators make the game more lively. I've seen some other league games commentated by their own people and some of it really sounds boring.

The problem is i JUST DON'T understand what has over promoting a league got to do with some people. They don't like epl coz it's overpromoted??What??Give me a break! That's the most pathetic and ridiculous reason i've ever heard.

I've heard some people saying here that england can't even make it far in the WC. For goodness' sake, please take a good look at epl. There are so many foreigners playing in epl. So what has epl's quality got to do with England's WC achievements?

i believe when they say over-promoting, what they're trying to say is there are other nice leagues out there to be watched.

this unfortunately come from people who don't understand that how far a team goes does not depend on how many star players you have, and also they probably thing EPL teams have only English players.

3 teams in the last 4 of the CL... greatest league in the world...

however... Italy are World Champions & Milan are European Champions...

Spot on, the quality of commentators is crucial. You can say the same of other sports such as the F1, tennis, badminton... actually just about any other sport in the world. Have you tried watching a European game on local TV? It's really painful and I would not recommend it to my worst enemy. The South American leagues have pretty good commentators. Well I can't understand what's being said but they get really excited and it rubs of. I can still hear one of them going "Goallllll... go.. go...go...go...go... goaaallllll!!!!".

I believe it's like this. Against Brazil, David Beckham's pictures were on every major paper and they were talking about how he conquered Brazil, but who has MOM again? That's right, Steven Gerrard, but I bet a good portion of people thought it was Beckham, am I wrong? You can see how publicity can sometimes distort the truth and I believe this is what the category of people are you referring to mean.

A good portion fans only watch the EPL and of that portion, there is a sizeable amount that only watch their teams. How then are they supposed to determine which league is best when they've never seen a La Liga or Serie A match?

Added on June 7, 2007, 12:43 pmYou're beginning to sound like a broken record mate.

Firstly, Italy being crowned world champions does not reflect the quality of the league. As many of us have mentioned earlier, teams consist of many foreigners these days. Your best player is Brazilian and so is your best rightback, your somewhat chubby forward and no.1 keeper. Need I mention Leonardo and Rivaldo? Last I checked, Seedorf was Dutch.

Secondly, you said it yourself, 3 English teams made the semi's, that not enough? In the past 3 seasons, English teams have made the finals. Look at the bigger picture mate and not just focus on one season. While I will not begin a debate on which league is better, the EPL is certainly on the ascendancy.
