FORZA INTERNAZIONALE. p.s. I also really like AC MILAN AND JUVENTUS the premiership has too much money for its own good. there is very very little home grown talent. it was a good league before the insane amounts of money came. serie a is the best and only INTER, AC, and JUVE have money. you can buy the english league, but not the champions league. english clubs need to stop buying so many foreign players.

Someone pointed that out here. Many countries were once owned by England and tend to show more English league games than others - as a generalisation Another reason is the colonial issue.

For the scores of millions of "fans" in places like Malaysia, China, Thailand etc, in other words, places with very little or a very young footballing heritage, this type of football is considering quality and exciting. And while I enjoy the aggression and energy in the matches I watch - which now tend to be the "big" matches - the times I've watched matches between mid- and low-table sides the lack of technique, sometimes basic, has been painful.

In both Spain and Italy far higher percentages of squads were homegrown than in England - not that im against the likes of Ronaldo, Drogba and Toure, or even emerging talents like Nani or Merida, but squads should contain fewer foreigners and more Englishmen. The clubs should put more money in their academies, for there is plenty of talent out there, just not always properly nurtured.

TBH… I never said that the “top English clubs will surpass the top Spanish clubs” I said that English clubs (as a group) will surpass Spanish clubs (as a group).

Thats more then double of what the top English clubs will be earning. Real Madrid signed the biggest TV deal in Sports history, a contract of €1.1 billion Euro over the span of 7 years. Barcelona signed a slightly less then that, €1 billion Euros. No English club can match that. Shaheen Seedat:
