Has football ever been better?

[MOZZER2]

depends in which context we are talking . globalisation of football at the top level has come at a cost where the elite are grabbing all the money with tv companies prepared to spend millions to satisfy the sporting public masses in china , Malaysia etc

the standard of football in the elite circles of the game is breath taking .god knows how the game will pan out in say 10 years time . the players are almost robotic now as it is . as for globalisation of the game particularly the prem league it must be pointed out , out of the 18 man spurs squad yesterday featured only 3 british players and Liverpool 5 players the night before . is that progress for the home nation teams ?

the number of children playing are now at record levels in the UK so yes the game has never been more powerful which is great .

as mentioned a million times on here the sooner a breakaway European league takes off the better

In regards to your point about home nations, I would make the point that they have all been shit for about 50 years while the British leagues were full of British players, and have improved recently with the globalisation of the premier league, maybe a smaller group of core players (Bale, Ramsey) playing at the elite is better at the top end.

Maths obviously isn't your strong point then, Mozz.

The Spurs squad actually contained six British players yesterday, while Liverpool's squad the night before contained eight. By comparison, the Barcelona squad contained just five Spaniards.

I got the team line ups from a web site yesterday obviously not right as it didn't mention ben davies and I thought that was odd . noticed tonight he came on as sub last night .I didn't see the game last night so took the line ups as gospel . Haven't seen too many brits in the arsenal line up tonight !
