BAd week for me, but then what did I expect betting on Newcastle for a surprise 1-0 win? Last game tonight to make amends haha, and I have CP to take down Arsenal, also by a 1 goal margin.
Why do people say the Premier league is the best in the world when in reality England never makes it past round 1 of the World Cup?
If it was so good, they would always be in the finals.
The best league is Spain or Germany. Probably Spain. But Germany is in the top 3 for sure. Don't come at me with that Premier League #1 bullcrap.

I think anyone who watches their favourite league will say it's the best. Best for me has a lot to do with entertainment as a supporter, and as someone who plays Sunday football. Perhaps for the purist, yes, I can easily understand why you'd go for Spain, Germany, Italy even France. The games are more technical. Their leagues are more open to experimentation (which, only after being recognised do they get brought to England). They breed more world class talents and have scouting systems and youth academies that are very well integrated.
I can also see why England attracts so much excitement. Leicester City two seasons ago ring any bells? Say Spain's domestic league and cups. You basically know who wins them. Because the gulf in skill and ability is too wide between the top and the rest. The same, to an extent, does apply to English teams, but the Big 4 is now the Big 6, and none of them can prevent teams like Leicester suddenly striking out from nowhere.
Amateur players like me also enjoy the physicality of English football, in fact, I feel it has toned down a lot. I loved the fiery games, the crunching tackles, the lung bursting runs.
