So basically, you don't really like football very much?
hah i thought of that while writing the post, too.
frankly, i don't think the level of play in the european leagues is very high. or at least, it's often not very entertaining to the neutral. i'd prefer watching the better teams in various local amateur leagues in nyc to stoke v blackburn or osasuna v mallorca.
i think there's a lot of blame to go around for that: cowardly/inept managers, impatient clubs, poor training in many parts of the world, corruption in spain/italy, poor refereeing, cultural preferences for slow football in some countries.
