We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand
Roy Keane: ITV 02/25/14

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14

I think Spain’s by far the best league.

The current sid is good enough to be in the EPL top five. The Portuguese know how to play football and their league has been the source of some of the all time greats from Eusebio to C Ron.

Please stop it Yujam. Benfica is nowhere in the same category as Man City, Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal or Spurs. Even Leicester City is two classes above Benfica and you know it!
Ayo, please read the link below, it will help give you an idea of which clubs are the biggest in Europe. Notice that you will not see Leicester or Ado Den Haag there.

[1] I just have to grit my teeth and hold my peace when I see how limited the faith my people have in themselves and our fatherland is

[2] They make my heart bleed with their limited outlook but alas, one has to tolerate them. Our best fullback signs fro lowly Benfica and we are celebrating!!!! This takes inferiority complex to unprecedented heights!

[3] I dream of a nation that manufactures armaments, automobiles, machine tools, aircraft, ships, etc

[4] I dream of a sporting giant that excels in every area of the Olympics

[5] I dream of a nation that wins the World Cup as frequently as say Brazil or Germany

[6] I dream of a Super Eagles where all the 23 squad members play for Real Madrid, Barcelona, PSG, Juventus, man City, Man United, Liverpool, Inter Milan, Chelsea, etc

[7] I dream of a nation that producers world class playmakers every year as Brazil does with Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Juniniho, Kaka, Robinho, Neymar, Coutinho, etc

[8] I dream of a nation that produces the world's most expensive goalkeeper ala Ederson. When I look at the likes of Taffarel, Dida, Julius Ceasar, etc, I ask what is wrong with my people

[9] I dream of a nation that only sends 18-year olds to clubs like Benfica for a season from say Enugu rangers, Kano Pillars, Enyimba, etc so they can get used to Europe. I remember Ronaldo spent his first season at PSV Eindhoven just to get a feel for European football

[10] I dream of the day when a Nigerian centreback will also be bought for £75m
