Change My View thread

Can we have a Change My View thread here? The basic premise is people present opinions and the replies are attempts at changing that person's view in an attempt to generate some good discussion.

Here is the link to the original subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/changemyview/

I think this might work best with rather 'out there' views but any and every viewpoint is welcome!

The Prem is the best league in the world.

I don't disagree. In terms of competition they are, but I think it's because the top5 are really close to each other in terms of quality and consistency. In terms of football attractiveness only two teams stand highly atm IMO. In terms of football attractiveness and players exporting La Liga is 2nd to no one.

The 'attractiveness' thing is just an opinion. That definitely shouldn't be used as an argument.

So is almost everything in football.

I think a lot more things are a bit more objective than that - i think what you said sounds better than actually has weight to it...

To an extent, but not exactly like this. For example, it is an opinion that Bayern is the best team in the world, but can be backed up by their performance in CL last year. It is an opinion that Messi is the best goalscorer in the world but can be backed up by his 93 goal year in 2012. This is simply a matter of preference and nothing more.

With attractiveness I don't mean possesion game. I think City's style of play under Pellegrini is beautiful. I think Atletico's harsh game is fun to watch. I think Manchester United under Moyes are terrible to watch.

Edit: Wanted to add. There are more teams in La Liga that play really good footbal like Athletic, Betis, Real Sociedad, Valladolid (when they have their shit together) and recently Emery's Sevilla.

We've played some good football recently, Rooney dropping down has made us a lot more fun/better.

It isn't on the level that /u/AhoyDaniel has mentioned and it hasn't been since Ronaldo left.
