Lahm, Schmelzer from the German teams left in the CL alone. Does he take free kicks? How many assists or goals does he have? Is he actually any good defensively? His temperament is humming. I'll be brutally honest - I think he was a great player a couple of years ago but I wouldn't swap any of Celtic's two main LBs (Izzaguirre and Mulgrew) for him.
Cole, Gerard, Rooney, Lampard, Ferdinand, Terry are all vastly over rated. If it wasn't for the foreigners in English Football they'd be absolute crap and better sticking to Morris Dancing, real ales and folk music. And that is a FACT.
I'll give you Phillipp Lahm, although doesn't he play right back for Bayern? I know he can play on either side.
Hmmm so all these other leagues are better yet in the last 8 seasons, the finals of the Champions League have been contested by: 8 English teams 3 Spanish teams 3 Italian teams 2 German teams How odd that teams from the 4th best league should do so well in the biggest club competition.
Due to foreign players. The fact you are absolute mince on the national stage shows how reliant you are on foreigners in Europe because your little englanders constantly get embarrassed at international level. You know it, I know it, even you're own ****in media are beginning to realise it ffs.
What an odd number of years to pick - why 8? Is it because no English teams appeared in it in the previous 5 years? In those preceeding 5 years: Spain 4 (none of them Barca) Italy 2 Germany 2 Portugal 1 France 1 England 0 I asked a wee bit ago - there are plenty of people who don't support English teams on this forum yet only those who do are arguing it's the best league in the world.
There you go again. We're discussing the strength of the league not the nationality of the players in it. FFS.
