England has the best League in the world. So what?

The Champions League Quarter Finals have come around and, once again, three out of four games contain an English team. This dominance by English teams has been consistent. In 2008, for instance, three out of the four teams were from the UK.

2007 was the same. However, Italian giants AC Milan claimed the Champions league title.

The Champions League consists of the best clubs from each country, competing in a League to be crowned the best team in Europe. But the question needs to be asked: will the EPL get so strong that other international clubs won’t stand a chance?

The EPL is the highest watched club football in the world, with the Championship coming in at nineteenth.

It’s also becoming the most powerful League, especially in recent years with their dominance in international competitions.

I think the FIFA 6+5 rule can only do good.

The Premier League is being dominated by international talent, which is being taken away from their own local Leagues and clubs.

On a local level, many kids in Australia are seeking out Premier League teams and bypassing the A-League. So where does that leave our Leagues?

I enjoy watching the Premier League as much as the next football fan. But I would hate to see the A-League, or any other League for that matter, suffer because of the strength of it.
