right. and this being a former british colony, it gravitates towards the premier league.

or to put it more bluntly:

that's the thing, the "euro fans" (as you call them/us) know that one washed out star does not a league make. it's not about gimmicks or euro-anything. it's about quality and competition and merit and (yes) a long, world-wide tradition.
what "they" (we) need is a respectable league that makes sense and matters internationally-- not in being the "greatest" league, just a decent one with sensible rules and respect for the game instead of weird shootouts (thankfully gone) and bending over for the nfl. and that's what we're not getting. so we don't watch (at least i don't watch).
i'd love to have a local team that i can follow, but there's simply nothing.
