canadian football teams in nfl
Which Soccer/Futbol league has the best players and/or talent?

I have always loved soccer. I played when I was a kid for years. I would like to start watching soccer, but there are so many leagues to choose from. The MLS doesnt seem like the best collection of talent, so I am trying to figure out which leauge has it. There is the English Premier League, Italian League, Mexican Leauge, etc.

Heres an example of what I am trying to find out. For American Football, we have college teams, Areana football, Canadian league, the NFL and there used to be even a Europe league and the XFL. Now, the best collection of talent (by far) is the NFL so its the best and most exciting to watch. So can anyone name a “best soccer league” by evidence and not just opinion. For instance, the NFL has bar far many more of the best players in the world than the other leagues (Same with MLB and the NBA, I am not sure about NHL though).

And, of course, one could say the World Cup, but I am looking for something every year not every 4.

PLEASE no stupid/silly answers

Excerpt: Edward Wayne LeBaron, Jr. (born January 7, 1930, in San Rafael, California) is a former American football quarterback in the 1950s and early 1960s in the National Football League. LeBaron graduated from Oakdale High School in Oakdale, California and went on to the College of the Pacific (now the University of the Pacific). He played there from 1946 to 1949, lettering all four years and achieving All-American honors in 1949 after leading them to an undefeated season. He was a two-way, 60 minute player, as a quarterback on offense, safety on defense, and punter on special teams. Following graduation, LeBaron served as a United States Marine Corps lieutenant in the Korean Conflict. He was wounded twice and was decorated with the Purple Heart. For his heroic actions on the front lines he was awarded the Bronze Star. Due to his dimunitive size, 5 feet, 7 inches, and leadership skills from his military service he was sometimes known as the “Littlest General”. LeBaron was drafted in the tenth round (123rd overall) of the 1950 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins and played with them through 1959, except for 1954 when he played in the Canadian Football League. He signed with the Calgary Stampeders because his college coach, Larry Siemering from the College of the Pacific, was coaching there. In his seven seasons with the Redskins he started 55 of a possible 72 games at quarterback (he played in 70 of those 72 games). He was also the primary punter for his first three seasons with Washington (he would punt 171 times for a total of 6,995 yards in five NFL season, with 164 of those coming in 1952, 1953, and 1955.) To build the roster of the expansion Cowboys, Dallas was allowed to pick certain players from certain teams per league rules. Clint Murchiso… More:

Excerpt: Marvin Daniel Levy (born August 3, 1925 in Chicago, Illinois) is a former American and Canadian Football coach and front office executive. He is a former professional football coach, in the CFL as head coach of the Montreal Alouettes (19731977), and in the NFL as head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs (19781982) and the Buffalo Bills (19861997), coaching the Bills to four consecutive American Football Conference Championships.

Following graduation, he enlisted in the Army Air Forces and spent the remainder of World War II in the military; Levy was discharged from the army shortly afterwards. Though he was known to use historical examples to inspire his teams, Levy corrected those who used war and combat metaphors to describe football games by telling them that he actually fought in a war and that football and war were in no way comparable. Levy enrolled at Coe College in Iowa. There he earned varsity letters in football, track, and basketball. He obtained a degree in English literature, was granted membership in the Phi Beta Kappa Society, and was twice voted student council president. He was also a member of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He was admitted to Harvard University for graduate studies in 1951, earning a masters degree in English history.
