Satriales 994 Posted October 19 I'm not really sure what these stats mean, but I reckon the championship is the toughest league out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

overthebordercanary 160 Posted October 19 Would take this with a massive pinch of salt. The Americans at the Olympics use the total of medals won rather then how many golds so they can make them look superior. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 4,620 Posted October 19 It's also only rating the top ten teams. The Championship has more strength in depth than a few of the leagues above it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 1,573 Posted October 19 Having seen a czech top flight game in the last couple of years to say the standard is only slightly worse than the championship is laughable. Unless you're giving out alot of credit for the racist ultras... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 2,354 Posted October 19 Our flat screen TV has a power rating. As does our fridge. Our football team, not so much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 5,013 Posted October 19 In terms of the top 10 from each league that table might not be far out, other than MLS being above the Championship. It's still a sad indictment of US soccer and God Bless America. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very much seems like cooking the books from our American cousins. From experience their league is league 1 with a splattering of gold dust. The English league system is the toughest in the world.

scoop 54 Posted October 19 When players are no longer good enough for the Championship they go to the MLS. Not the other way around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,902 Posted October 20 The Championship is probably the most competitive league. Last season no one in the top half finished more than 11 points off playoffs and no one in the bottom half finished more than 9 points off relegation. In a 46 game season there's not many 'dead rubbers'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Remember a few years ago that with about five games left there was only one team guaranteed to be playing in the Championship the following season. Imagine it's the case most years. Unlike the PL it remains a football competition. For how long, who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 5,013 Posted October 21 I don't know what 'power rating' actually consists of. If it includes an element of player quality and international caps for example, that analysis might look a bit different if Messi is excluded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever it is, reading the graphs title it's only the Top 10 teams of each of those leagues that's being taken into account anyway. Which is a load of balls to start with really, If you're going to rate how 'powerful' a league is, at least do it on the whole league and not a select percentage.

Looking at the table they did finish bottom of the league that year so that explains why they didn't seem that great. The ultras had nazi flags and made alot of noise. They were a small minority and kept up one end of the stand while most people were in the other end! Slight tangent but Brno is a great City. I'd recommend a visit. So much to see. I'd definitely go back. It's like a smaller version of Prague without the stag dos! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
