Foreign Football Leagues in General

I guess I best start by saying that the League of Wales (LoW) isn’t really a foreign football, Wales is of course part of the United Kingdom but most people would know more about Italian or even German football than Welsh. Indeed, if you had asked me a year ago to name any teams in the LoW or even to suggest that there was one I probably wouldn’t have been able to. This has changed since I have come to university here in Aberystwyth, not only have I helped set up an Independent Supporters Club for my adopted team (The mighty black and greens of Aberystwyth Town) but have taken it upon myself to do as much as possible to raise the profile of what is the ...  Read the complete review

To me the Premiership is getting better and better and will be soon, if not already, the best league in Europe. This season the teams representing the premiership have demonstrated just how good the premiership is getting. Three English teams reached the second stage of the Champion's league and two teams proceeded to the final stage. Arsenal were unlucky not to go through after losing out to Deportivo and Bayern Leverkusen, Man Utd finished top of their group and Liverpool secound after an infatic win over Barcelona in their last game. German and Spanish teams make up most of the other teams in the final stage, with Real Madrid favorites to win ...  Read the complete review

Teajon Citizen, Ulsan Hyundai, Pusan Icons, Chonnam Dragons, Chonbuk Motors, Pohang Steelers and Songnam Ilhwa. The majority of the teams are sponsored by the big Korean conglomerates such as Lucky Goldstar and Samsung and are thus able to attract some foreign players. Curiously, there are currently no teams in Seoul, although Anyang, Bucheon and Songnam are on the Greater Seoul subway system. There are plans to form a Seoul team after the World Cup. The standard of play is not the best and the quality of the pitches in particular is shocking. However, there are some decent young Korean players and the David Beckham of Korea, Ahn Jong-won left for Perugia and ...  Read the complete review

I have been to many places, to experience football and there are so many great leagues, all based within continents. I think European football is undoubedly the best because of the speed and the fitness involved in it. For example, everyone says that Brazilian leagues (I.e with teams like Corinthians) are the best, because there are so many grand players like Ronaldo and Rivaldo and Edmondson that come out of Brazil. The type of football played is a lot slower (maybe has something to do with the heat - but players still come out with gloves and sheepskin jackets in the winter!). The Asian football leagues have strongly developed over the years, and even though you see ...  Read the complete review

The K-League currently has ten teams: Bucheon SK, Anyang LG Cheetahs, Suwon Samsung Bluewings, Teajon Citizen, Ulsan Hyundai, Pusan Icons, Chonnam Dragons, Chonbuk Motors, Pohang Steelers and Songnam Ilhwa. The majority of the teams are sponsored by the big Korean conglomerates such as Lucky Goldstar and Samsung and are thus able to attract some foreign players.
