I love the premiership. I wouldn't mind watching the Championship, but being in America, I have to take what I can get, and that's not something I can get. It's gotten a lot easier to follow the Premiership in the last decade, though. Maybe at some point, I can get more than just that (and La Liga, which isn't as good, IMO).

I must admit that the premiership is becoming more interesting. Still not open enough for me though. And go Liverpool :p

I'm Scottish, and I watch your Championship every chance I get. By far the most entertaining league I've ever followed. Obviously it's being flooded with cash and caught in the hype of chasing the Premiership dream, but that only seems to have made it better. The quality on display is very high (much better than our SPL) but it's still teeming with clubs who are still responsive to their fans. Less diving and other forms of cheating than the Premiership (or La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga) too. And, it's full of Scots. :D

League 1 is also pretty decent, though I haven't seen much of League 2.

Hence why it's the best league, IMO. There are always 10 teams, or so, that are put forward to win it. And sometimes a team outside that 10 wins it.

England 1 France 1,i thought England played well above expectations and Oxlade Chamberlain had a great game (proud, he's a Gooner) and a star in the making,all we are missing is the link between midfield and attack,all things considered we did really well.

I was impressed with our first half performance but in teh second half our attack lost a lot of its bite and I saw lots of sloppy passes. Still, we should make the quarters and hopefully go on to make the semi's

I agree,the first half was good but we are really missing some bite like Rooney,if we can win against Sweden we will be ok,i don't want us to play like Chelsea though,all defense and no attack i really want us to score and grow in confidence.

I reckon Welbeck is better than Rooney for England. Rooney is always hyped up for England and then under performs. I don't want England to start playing Rooney every minute of every game to please the press. Although we should probably start him against the Ukraine with Welbeck.
