Can anyone argue with the top two anyway? Poor Scotland, behind the might of Belgium. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbria_blue 51 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I can't believe the Northern Irish league is 49th! The other leagues may as well stop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone argue with the top two anyway? Poor Scotland, behind the might of Belgium. It is shocking that we're behind Belgium as a league. Although I know Belgian clubs find it easier to sign foreign players as its easier to gain work permits. A lot of African players use belgium as a way of getting themselves into Europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConorRFC51 38 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 How is the Italian league anywhere near the standard of the Spanish? The La Liga is the best in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gronaldo 38 Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Italian clubs had a generally poor season in Europe last year (Serie A actually scored fewer points in UEFA's coefficient system than the SPL) so I don't see how it ended up as the second best league. UEFA's coefficient system makes a lot more sense and doesn't have us ranked below leagues like Denmark and Belgium - what Danish side has rivalled the achievements of a UEFA Cup final or last 16 in the Champions League recently? Even Aberdeen hammered Copenhagen 4-0 last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
