Blatter never misses a chance to have a dig at the premier league.. sure there are lots of players from la liga in the world 11... but they only play for 2 clubs who win 5-0 week in week out! Sure none of us agree with the way premier league clubs do business but who can deny that it is the most competitive league in the world?
How many players outside Spain's top two would get anywhere near that world 11?
I was watching highlights of Barca's win over Betis and the defending is an absolute joke. Alan Hansen's head would explode if he had that kind of field day commenting on la liga team's defending week in week out.
EDIT: I've just seen that it was a cup match.. but still you could apply the same rant to other teams them and Real trounce..
In the premier league teams attack and defend as units.. I'd love to see a prem 11 (who would be in it?) take on dream teams from other leagues. We would almost certainly lose to the Spanish team but atleast ours would be so much more colourful in terms of clubs involved.
Anyway, Blatter is a bit of an idiot whose blatant grudge against the premier league is becoming a little bit embarrassing.
