MSP said:I'm late to discussion but I'm pretty sure Russian League will easily overtake Portuguese, Dutch or Greek one very soon, and will start to knock on Italian doors soon after that.
Pretty sure it already has, the only difference is there's less coverage of it here.
There's far more quality players in Russia than any of those leagues, i'd say it's possibly 5th best, maybe equal with France, behind the obvious 4.
Eto'o, Lass, Pareja, Honda, Elm, Doumbia, Dzsudzsak, Ziegler, Corluka, Ansaldi, Marcano, Bocchetti, Tosic, Rondon, Suchy, Carlos Eduardo, Kuranyi, McGeady, Jurado, Kallstrom, Romulo, Bruno Alves, Hubocan, Caicedo, Lacina Traore, Insaurralde, Musa, De Zeeuw, Criscito, Misimovic, Jano, Lombaerts, Danny and now Hulk and Witsel. All well known players who could play in any league.
Pluuus all the many quality Russian players and talented but fairly unknown Brazilians.
