Call it Soccer or Football; Which League is the best League? Again!

Probably the third time that this question pop up in my blog. Today’s one isn’t something I even thought about writing, instead today a middle-of-the-road soccer fan asked me this question and I was so much impressed with my response that I couldn’t just help but share it.
This young lad is an Arsenal fan and he asked me which league is the best league to watch and I said to him; “it depends on what you mean by best, if you are looking for parity in a top league, then look no further than the Italian Serie A (pronounced say-re-Aah). If however, you are looking for entertainment and competition then check out the English Premier league, it is the most watched league in the World. The Spanish league is great, except that Barcelona and Madrid set-up teams to crush minnows, the Spanish league is all about Barcelona and Madrid, while in the English Premier League Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and arguably Tottenham are all possible contenders for the title".
And yea it is not about how many people agree with that response that impressed me, instead it was how representative that answer was of me, the words just slide through my tongue off my mind. Those words are not just your everyday pundit “carefully worded qualifying statements”. In modern day slang, that was the real talk (Josh).


Peace out.
